unconfirmed...Bendinelli retiring from Mesa in about a month

[Chris6870]

I just got my Mark IV back. Sent it in beginning of Nov. I was told anything except warranty repairs had to be approved by Mike. Makes sense if he is retiring he would want to regulate his work load. Luckily he took it in and I just got it back 2 days ago.

And this is why Mesa should buy him out.....



Pay him 8-10 million dollars...... Or something that makes sense.


And have him train new workers to meet his standards and remain as a consultant on some level when it comes to repairs and amps in general..... In a 3-5 year contract.



Dudes like this don't grow on trees

Never happen. Gibson is to dumb. They should have paid Randy to stay on board if nothing else but for PR. Who will buy a new Mesa amp design that doesn't have Randys fingerprints on it? They basically castrated their cash cow by firing him. Reissues,speaker cabs and current models from here on out. Luckily the used market is full of Mesa amps of all kinds.

Problem here is QC would never be up to Mike B’s standards. Too many intangibles. That would be like trying to teach Hammett how to execute a pleasant vibrato. Not gonna happen

What if it's unpleasant + wrapped in a blanket of wah?
