We received our first shipment of mesa/boogie at Long and McQuade last week. A couple dual rectifiers and triple rectifiers, 4x12 cabinets, a markIV combo, bass amps and a bunch of rack mountable stuff. More is on the way - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 1:04pm

Anonymous this colin guy, if he is the tall fat red or light brown head dude with a lame ass goatee or chinny thing, than he is an idiot when it comes to serving the public. Does this guy think that in order to be as cool as he is, making the "big" bucks as a front desk dude at long mcquade, they have to act like him?? And just think he is better than everyone. DUDE! when u are at the store treat every one the same, regardless of their stupid questions. When ONE comes in with a question about a piece of gear, dont need to answer, EVERYTIME!! "oh they havent made those in like a year or so." I havent asked you what fucking year it was made, i ask u very legit questions. I have only had to go to L&M once, same answer. Down at Wards, he was the same way. Anyone who reads this, L&M is a very cool store with alot of cool people, and I am sure colin is cool outside his job, but when he is working he acts like a moron, when it came to serving me. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:07pm

Just so you all hear an impartial opinion.
I have been a customer of Long & McQuade Victoria for over 20 yrs, since back when it was on Goldstream. For the last 5 years or so, I buy, rent, and source all my gear through Colin. He answers all my questions, gets me what I need, and I buy / rent alot of gear year round. I am also in the music / customer service industry. I have referred lots of players to L&M to talk to Colin only. Never had a bad experience dealing with him, other staff many times, but Colin..no.

That whole new M-Pulse line is da shiznit. Built for the road and full of massive tone. I used Mesa bass gear for over 10 years and loved it. Butt-heavy tho'...Don't let the prices scare you off. You'll save a whack o' cash in the long run by getting something durable as hell that sounds amazing from the get go; a keeper.
Just my experiance.... - Mon, 12 May 2003 10:17am

Carvin... urgh.. cheap for a reason.

yeah!! cause you don't have to pay half a dozen fella's commissions by the time you get the amp!!!

I've tried mesa--fender--marshall--hiwatt--musicman--roland--dean markley--peavey--traynor--crate--etc etc etc
and I think my carvin sounds better or at the very least,, as good as any of them. ah but alas!!! I'll never be able to brag about how MUCH!! I paid for my amp!!

and as for durability??? I had my last carvin for 20 years or so before I finally sold it, only cause I promised my wife I would sell it to help pay for the new carvin. but I did have to replace the tubes a couple of times though, I guess for all that money you don't have to replace the tubes EVER!! in a mesa??? - Thu, 15 May 2003 6:19pm

$$$ You forget that in the case of Mesa Boogie, they are sent factory direct to dealer. No middle men. - Thu, 15 May 2003 6:58pm
Anonymous I would trade my marshall stack for another mesa dc3 combo if I had the chance. Thats a JCM slash signature head and 2 cabs
for a boogie combo amp. - Thu, 15 May 2003 9:15pm

My M-2000 was a headache. A very cool rig with some innovative features and a million sounds...but none I liked. The new M-Pulse line sound MUCH better. - Sun, 18 May 2003 12:42am

The thing is it's all a matter of preference.
I would like to be able to try both side by side and have the option. That way I am sure I have the amp that best suits me. And if I am spending that much coin, I better be pretty fuckin' satisfied.
There's always Ampeg too. Have a few of those ready as well. - Tue, 20 May 2003 6:49pm
Anonymous I wish I got a mesa 20 years ago but I got a marshall and now I have both...The Mesa is the best tube amp all around and ampeg makes the best bass tube amp that Ive ever heard. - Tue, 20 May 2003 11:11pm
