Bought mine in London. Yep - I love the finish; it's what attracted me to it, but when i started to play it - WOW; it's very very easy to shred and do legato stuff.

People will always support their local dealers if the price is reasonable (need not be dirt cheap). And they're willing to pay a little bit more for the technical support and warranty if the item is big, like Mesa amps. But >200% marked up is just plain daylight robbery! In fact Bentley's outrageous pricing for Mesa can actually buy you a car in Malaysia. Seriously.

Yep, Bentley's "cry to mummy Mesa" antic is really low. The most disgusting part is they even got the nerve to go after private shoppers and consumers - who are neither dealers or in the music retail at all. Yeah, screw Bentley!

Haha, agree. Maybe it's the scarcity that hyped it up.

IMO, for high gain stuff, tube Marshalls are just as good. Cheaper some more.

from the very first post in this thread:

"P.S. please keep comments on whether Mesas are good/bad value in the first place and whether you like them or prefer something else. This thread is nothing to do with that."

In other words, shut up.
