When I was 10 or so, I bought Alive 2 then got Double Platinum.
Those albums just kicked ass. Rock and Roll.
They certainly had "IT" in the early years with Ace and Peter.
Looking at a Mesa vertical 2x12 cab. The speakers have been swapped out to Celestion Chinese v30s.
How much would you say that affects the price if at all?
Thanks
Apparently Ace is/was on life support due to brain bleeding.

Some rumors say he passed away an hour or so ago?
Any info?
People can argue all day about it shouldnt be called a rectifier, but, I think it is one of the very best amps I have owned and played over the last 40 years.
It is so good that I am thinking of selling off my modded 1983 JCM 800. And that says a lot!
Recently bought a Badlander 50 head and I am blown away by the amp. Incredible amount of variety you can get out of a 2 channel amp.
I have not played any of my other amps since I got the BL.
Mesa hit a bases loaded home-run with this amp imho.
I have to revise my list I posted a while back to this ( in order of favorites):
Mesa Badlander 50 head
Marshall 2204
Marshall 2555x
Marshall 2466
Marshall 2203 ( modded)
Saw them live like 10 years ago. Damn fine show!
Rick was using Fuchs amps and sounded incredible! Didn't hit a bad note all night.
He threw out literally thousands of guitar picks.....like insane amount.
The 100watt amp has a half power switch, plus the 2555x has basically 3 master volumes....lol, so you can get it pretty quiet.
I would always get tge big iron amp, if possible.
