The good news is the pre is free of the mesa blob! I don't know if mine escaped the blob or was swapped later. Forensics show sloppy flux on the 12ax7 sockets but many wires are connected without flux mess. The jury is out deliberating over a graffix (actually just a jar with the proper holes...

The only thing blue about my BA are the filter caps which suggest this amp was made at the end of 2003.. I must have been thinking I'd like to redo the cab in the blue taurus but the tolex is long gone from dealers.

Any one know if the blue angel was stocked in any stores with that blue tolex? It's fellow class A rectifier maverick is typically blonde (tan, cream, whatever) but most blue angels I've seen are black.

I just meant the epoxy or whatever Dumble uses to hide his circuit.

That pre board has a nice and clean layout. It's like a sexy woman and then mesa done and gone covered the naked body with tar and feathers.

Hey Jim, yeah iirc the "dumble" EQ section or something right?! It's been a few years but when I contacted mesa they were kind enough to send me the circuit but I think they were out of boards. I wish they had one. The chassis is already pulled and I'll get some pics. There was another besides...

I picked up a non-working blue angel combo a few years back and never got around to fixing it so it's been stashed away. I thought back on it after posting and was going to look at it as I was pretty sure it was also blue (with wicker grill iirc) but I couldn't remember if it was the same...

The blue seems more rare than a revolver cab (which by the way would someone give me?)

In the 90's mesa offered red, gray, blue and green taurus. I've got a pic of a brochure around somewhere. Idr if the red was called wine at the time but all these colors were marbled like the wine taurus of today. Wine is the only one that survived. The DC series are the only cabs I've seen...

Hey Jim, I have no idea how many boogies Charlie had but the only other Boogies I know he owned were the pair of OG Mark or maybe IIA. They were hardwoods with wicker combos iirc. Are those the ones you saw? I had one of four of Eddie Money's long purple stripes and that's one I shouldn't have...

Hey have any of you guys run the sovtek wxt+'s (str-430) in a coli? Not only did Charlie's coli's come with mesa labelled 5881's but I've read somewhere MB gave the 425's his approval for the higher plate volts. Given the "20% extra output" marketing of the 6L6gc wxt+ over the 5881wxt, doesn't...

And all this reminds me I still need to send a 417 8H to great plains for a new vc

Lol- Jeremy is waiting to pull the K41x out of my dead hands! Thank you all for the warm welcome. I would like to try the all MS 12's but a cross or up/down with the EV's might have to be tried too! I really am surprised I haven't tried a halfback with EV lower / MS 12 upper. The 82 halfback...

The Holy Hour, not Faith. What an incredible "bass line"

Hmm, the MS-12 / EV is surprisingly one I haven't tried

Cool- that's not an experience i expected someone to have. I have some road ready stuff and really like it. I was thinking the 3/4 or LS might be needed for the 4x MS 12. I wasn't sure but you seem to be confirming that since the RR is closed. Last year there were deals on RR bass stuff so I...

That's a nice looking rig IIB!

Yes! and Yes! And EV's are usually hate or love (thank you Jeremy for not being in the camp and converting so many combos into heads!) I have that EV/MC halfback and the EV bottom / mesa V30 top halfback. I kept a 2x12 halfback with the VS12 on bottom / MC90 up top stock also. I personally...

I opened up the second CDB coli- both are sp9a.
