FS/FT Mesa Nomad 45 4x10 Price drop
The clue is in the title.
Mesa Nomad 45. Three footswitchable channels plus a revoicing switch on the back.
Independent reverb control for each channel. Footswitchable reverb and boost. Boost level can be preset. Incredibly versatile amp, in great overall condition. One nick in the tolex next to the on-switch., and a couple of minor ticks on one side (I think).
Reviews on these amps vary. Whilst most are very positive, some refer to the known problems. There were two problems with these amps, the problems being well-documented.
One was the pots and one was the footswitch cable being poor and causing phantom channel switching as the internal cables broke.
My amp has had a full re-pot with Mesa-provided aftermarket replacements, and has a new footswitch cable (it's about a mile long!).
Anyone who has heard one of these amps knows how good they sound. I have used it for ten years as a studio amp. I recently revalved it as well, as a precursor to using it out and about, but after carrying it to one gig, I realised I am no longer the Hercules I used to be. I therefore bought a grab and go amp (two rock studio pro 35) which is perfect both at home and out and about.
Pictures below.

The nice man at Electro Music Doncaster suggested £1295 for this. I am a realist and, having researched prices on the Bay of Biscay, I am open to offers and trades at values of around £800.
I don't have to move this on, so a couple more bumps and if it doesn't go quickly it will remain in Electro until some lucky person realises how good it is.

Thin-ish necks. Think wide-thin or wide-fat at most. No pointies, I'm afraid. HSS is good. Possibly a Music Man. Balancing cash either way but don't really want to as I'm looking to get some FX to perfect my rig, so my GAS fund is (probably) accounted for.
Amps - lighter than the Mesa, possibly something vox-flavoured. I'm really sorted for amps with my Studio Pro 35 and Hurricane, but I do like amps, so maybe if it's a specially nice thing I'd have a look.

You cannot possibly have breached rule #1. As for the other rule, I invited the comment. I think the rules are there to protect those who have a fixed price in mind, and don't want their stuff criticised, and that is a good thing.
I love the amp, and am still in two minds about it going, but although it is a good specimen of the breed, I don't think it was one that the Gods of Olympus breathed on especially, and it wasn't played by Jimi Hendrix, (although I think his spirit may have looked down upon it at some point, which obviously adds value).
That said, offers for trade and price invited. The worst I can do is say no.
