Gibson buys Mesa Boogie

[Wizard of Ozz]

... and just like that all my MK IIC++s just tripled in value.

 

[crankyrayhanky]

Oh no

 

[John4021]

OH HAIL NOOOOO

 

[thegame]

Great, now I‘ll have to play 25-30 Dual Rectifiers just to find one good one.

 

[TheGreatGreen]

Can't wait to buy a Special Edition Lime Green with Yellow Polka Dots Mark V with a Floyd Rose inexplicably glued onto the side of it for $15,000.

Mind = Blown

I'm thinking fake news. Where in the world did Gibson get $?!
So, Randy and Raven say to themselves, "let's give Gibson our profit".

Not buying this yet, although I've yet to check around.
From the videos that Boogie puts out, it looks like Randy is still into making amps.

 

[RockyStar]

I hope this isn't true. I hate Gibson.

 

[napalmdeath]

I doubt this, seriously.

Next up...Robo EQ

I hope it’s not true! But, who would blame Randy after building a brand for 50 years, and, deciding to enjoy his later years? Maybe there could have been a better suitor for the deal.... WTH

[Wizard of Ozz]

If this is true... I blame Mike Soldano.

Randy wants to be like Mike.

Mesa is a great company, but a huge company. It would not shock me at all.

 

[SFW]

I haven’t seen a Mesa amp in a store since they stopped working with GC. The Gibson umbrella puts them back in GC. Not a bad move.

 

[skoora]

How can a company that declared bankruptcy buy a company like Boogie?
that whole “we own it, but they will still run it BAU” is bullshit. Within a year there will be changes.

 

[stratjacket]

Wow, big news, hope it’s not true. Makes me think that by NAMM 2020 they will announce some kind of brand enhancement; USA Mesa and the EpiMesa made in Indonesia or somewhere.

 

[Gitfiddler]

will the post-acquisition Mesas stay in tune?

 

[ErikT]

Please no.....unless this makes them put out an actual 2c+ reissue....still, maybe no.
