Well... here it is... the legend, the myth, the magic... Mesa Boogie Mark IIC++ HRG 100/60W. This fine example of the species was originally built in September 1983 as indicated on the chassis. This amp started out in 1983 as a MKIIC 100/60W head and was upgraded in 2014 to MKIIC++ specs with the "++" mod performed by Mike Bendinelli himself at the Mesa factory in Petaluma, CA. Mike B. is no longer currently modifying amps, so this maybe your last chance at buying a MKIIC++ amp. While at the Mesa factory for service in 2014, all electrolytic and power filter caps were replaced, all pots/jacks cleaned, and solder joints checked. Mike B's initials are inside the amp on the preamp board, showing he modified it to "++" specs, as well as on the back panel off the amp near the power cord. This is the same identical MKIIC+ HRG amp that John Petrucci uses, and upon which the JP2C Signature amp is based on. It also has the same "++" mod that James Hetfield has on his famous MKIIC++ "Crunchberries" amp.
This particular amp is in museum, collectors, excellent ++ conditon. It is super clean for a 37 year old amp. You will not find a cleaner collector's example of this amp. The cab and tolex almost look new. No weird smoke or odd smells either. No mold or mildew in the cab. Both transformers are original and very clean. It doesn't really get much more rarified than this MKIIC++ HRG. The amp sports a brand new set of Mesa Yellow Code 6L6GC STR-440 powers tubes drawing 21.2-22.7-21.3-21.2 milliamps respectively, for a well matched set, as verified on my MaxiMatcher 2 tube tester. Also the amp has 5 NOS Chinese 12AX7C5/6N4 preamp tubes, which are new, tested, and identical to the preamp tubes Mesa used back in the 1980s. A custom Tuki amp cover is also included.
The amp sounds phenomenal and has a metric ton of gain. It has zero issues, and operates flawlessly. The only reason I'm selling is that I have 6 of these... and only use 2-3 most often. If you watch the used market like I do, very, very few of these have come up for sale in the past 1-2 years. Very few. So if you've been wanting one, now is your chance and don't sleep on it. This same amp has been owned/played by a few forum members here, so they may chime in to attest to it's greatness.

This is a good one. I can say that unequivocally and absolutely as I own 6 and have owned/played several others.
Price: $6000.00 shipped including the PayPal fee and UPS Ground shipping inside the lower 48 states of the USA. The amp will be shipped with required signature delivery confirmation. I will not ship outside the lower 48 states of the USA. I will not ship to AK/HI/PR. I will under no circumstances, ship to a 3rd party or freight forwarder. Do not try to be slick. I will cancel the sale and refund your payment less fees, if you try to get me to ship outside of the lower 48 states of the USA or to a 3rd party or freight forwarding service. I will only ship directly to the buyer's verified/confirmed PayPal shipping address. Nowhere else. Period. No exceptions.
No trades. Absolutely, positively, 100% no trade offers please! Only a straight cash sale. I'm not in a hurry to sell, and have zero issues keeping this monster.
Shoot me a PM if you want it.
