Amp Auction: Mesa Boogie Mark iia 2a Guitar amp. Wowzer!!

Amp Auction Description: Hi all. Up for sale is my Mesa Boogie Mark iia guitar amp. This amp features a graphic EQ, the 60/100 watt switch on the back, a factory installed cooling fan, and the original ElectroVoice (EV) 12L speaker. Also has new (less than 15 hours) Sovtek tubes. It has all the good stuff!! This amp is great. I haven't owned it for very long, but I can say that the clean channel is THE best I have ever played. This amp stays clean and loud, with very little breakup. I play jazz mostly, and not only can this amp be louder than the drums (which I never am, but could be if I wanted :')) it can stay clean, with little or no breaking up. The gain boost push/pull switch really helps with this. But, it can also keep up with a death metal band!! I can't say much about the dirty channel that you can't hear for yourself. Mesa Boogie's have been used on recordings by Santana, the Rolling Stones (for 15 years!!), Jerry Garcia and countless other bands. As I mentioned earlier, this amp can stay clean, but it rocks too. I can't imagine a situation where *all* the gain this amp has could be used. It can be smooth and huge, or really super-duper rocking. I don't use the word 'duper' lightly..... This amp comes with a Mesa Boogie Vibrato switch, and it changes the channels.Some technical stuff - The serial number on this amp is 307x. That dates this amp to 1978, and makes it 32/33 years old. That's old. This is also its original cabinet. The cabinet looks decent, but does have a few tolex tears. Most of these tears have been repaired, and look pretty good. The worst ones are on the front, above the controls. You can see a few of the rips on the photos of the back. Whoever repaired the other tolex rips didn't touch these... The graphic EQ is also missing 3 sliders, but they can be ordered from Mesa for a small fee. The cabinet is in decent shape, but the amp itself works great!! The clean channel sounds better than my Mark IV, and it looks cooler!!You don't see these amps come up very often, and this one sounds great. Also, I am not a huge store, or mega-seller!!!! or whatever they call it, so if you have a question, please feel free to message me and I'll actually answer you!!Shipping is gonna be expensive, because this thing is heavy. SHIPPING PRICE LISTED IS NOT WHAT ACTUAL SHIPPING WILL BE. EXPECT IT TO BE MORE!!! BUYER WILL PAY ACTUAL SHIPPING COSTS!! Not as heavy as my Mk4, but still heavy. Also, I'm not really willing to mess with the packing/not pack it well enough/gets damaged in shipping game, so I will have it professionally packaged and shipped. That way it'll get to you safe, and the buyer will pay actual shipping costs. Got a quote from UPS today and they said $125 to the West Coast. If at all possible, I would prefer to do local pickup.This amp is located in Chicago, and local pickup is available. No international bidders. Paypal payment only. NO ZERO FEEDBACK BIDDERS!! NO RETURNS. Sold as is. If you have any questions, message me and I WILL get back to you, possibly within half an hour. Thanks for looking!!
