Mark the combo


Not too long ago, Mesa Boogie released the Mark Five: 25 1 x 10" combo. It got people excited. We know how a simple, scaled down stack version bearing this brand name would easily nuke a hole in our wallets. There's also the 1 x 12" version but for many of us, we are happy with a compact amp. Not that the 12" isn't compact enough, we know some sweet tones could be had with a 10". More importantly, the 10" would manifest some trimmings in terms of price. That's right folks, the Mesa Boogie label is simply exorbitant & it would be a permanent wish-list item for the average Joes.


Do we have a local dealer here for Mesa Boogie? Yes, we do but Davis GMC used to inventorize these amps & I was way happier with their prices compared to the current dealer's. A case in question would be the head you see above listing for more than $3K. I got mine from DGMC for way less, dare I say, more than $1K lesser than the figure shown here. Do not bloody scream inflation into my face, please. I'm well aware it's happening. But it's also possible that some people somewhere out there are trying to milk you dry for a top dollar branded commodity & their numbers are way off the international listings online. More so if they are the only ones distributing them within your geographical boundaries.

The power of 35

For those of us who had invested good money in Boogie's Mark Five: 25, we gave that one our thumbs up. The good people at Mesa Boogie took that success & marched ahead in giving us this refined version here- the Mark Five: 35. In addition to a greater wattage performance, the 35 offers the player some refinements instead of including a new palette of features. For those of you intending to offload your 25, I'd suggest you hold your horses & discover the 35 personally instead of making that rash decision. Keep in mind that the 35 is a refinement of the 25 so it's not a complete overhaul.
