Amp Auction: MESA BOOGIE Series 300 Mark II B (VERY RARE 1 of 336)

Amp Auction Description: For your consideration MESA BOOGIE MARK IIB SERIES 300! One of the legendary amplifiers and rarest in the Mark series evolution. The Coliseum 300 was introduced in1980 as the top of the Mark II line. This head was built on a big block base. The power section is driven by SIX 6L6 power tubes and the pre amp section by SIX 12AX7 tubes. Has the same features as all the Mark Series amps but with a far more robust power section. The power supple can handle massive transients without harshness or braking-up the instrument signal. The amp is rated at 180 watts and can deliver up to 300 watts at clipping. Only 336 of this model were made, very rare indeed. This model Mesa Boogie amp was the choice of the Rolling Stone's for the 1981 American Tour and 1982 European Tour. Keith Richards and Ronny Wood each ran one of these heads through a Boogie 4x12 closed back cab to play JFK Stadium to 90,000 people! I have enjoyed owning this amp for 7 years. GREAT for lead or thick rhythms. Has just been checked out by my tech and given a clean bill of health. Could use a new set of power tubes and two of the EQ faders have had the top of the sliders broken off, they do work and there is enough left to adjust them with your finger, was in that condition when I bought amp. Checked with Mesa Boogie and they do sell a replacement but it looks a little different. They suggested changing all five to preserve the sexy looks of the amp. Shipping will cost a bit on this head as it weighs just shy of 50 lb. No minimum bid auction! Hi bid takes it home! Best of luck and thanks for looking!
