Ohhh,think I'm losing my self a bit guys...
Recently I bought Triaxis and G-Force,haven't tried it decently yet
and now I'm thinking of something totally different.

The story goes.
A friend of mine called me an hour ago,he bought Road King head(brand new)
from some relative in Germany for 1500 euros
We all do know what kind of amp is Road King and how much it actually cost
And this friend of mine isn't pro player at all,
he has some company for cleaning articles,export-import etc.

And of course he knows what king of gear (read Mesa) fan I am,
so he told me "I'll play it for few weeks and than you can have it,for the same price I payed"

I'm planing to get this beauty guys,and I'm serious about it!!!!

Muris, you are a gear hog! You just can't say no

Sounds cool though

Posted by: Bogdan Dec 29 2007, 10:38 PM

Well if you can go for it You got nothing to loose..Its always fun to buy new stuff

Posted by: Pavel Dec 29 2007, 11:04 PM

Sure is fun to buy new stuff but also pretty pricey if you sum up all the gear you bought recently. Do you own a gold mine or something??

And sorry but i wouldn't name Mesa a "king of gear" Don't shoot me for this

Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Dec 29 2007, 11:36 PM

Well if you have exactly 1500e or less I wouldn't suggest buying it. You know that old saying - you never know

If you have like >1700e laying around, go ahead and buy it.

But... hey for that kind of money you can consider some other serious shoppings...

Thinks twice Muris, don't rush it.

(sorry I just had too! )

On topic - I have always wanted to try a mesa boogie but haven't yet - so I can't give any advice! Except gear is cool - I am still longing for a Line6 vetta2!

Posted by: MickeM Dec 29 2007, 11:55 PM

Yes, you must get it!!!
I want a Mesa too.


I've been looking at modeling stuff lately and I want that VettaII too...

(sorry I just had too! )

Kris,you silly

Yeah,I do have some extra money,these last few months have been really productive,
gigs,recordings,GMC of course etc.

Thanks for advices guys, I should really think twice about it,
tho price IS pretty good for Road King

You know,it's kind of good opportunity,who knows when will I have chance like this

Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Dec 30 2007, 12:28 AM

If you have the money, one word - BUY

Posted by: Muris Jan 3 2008, 12:09 AM

Well yeah,something like that
I actually don't need it that much but price is really great to miss it

Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Jan 3 2008, 01:06 AM

Well, I would generally always buy some gear if the price is so low that if I put it in adverts tomorrow it will be gone in a week. You know your gear prices, so it is a very good decision to buy a legendary tube Mesa Boogie head for a great price. I don't know about there but I presume that there aren't too many of those in the adverts. Rarity always find a buyer, and if not, you can always - play it

I'm a mesa fun I've tried everything and I've found the mark IV the right guy for me, for 1.500 even if I don't like the roadking, too modern sounding to my taste, I'll buy it anyway it's a rip off, average used price is 2.000 2.300 euro

The only one at the moment on eBay.de is 2999 euros...starting bid
And new one at Thomann is 3599 euros........

Speaking of gear, did you get your Triaxis yet?
Any samples for us?

Posted by: Muris Jan 4 2008, 02:15 PM

Thanks for asking mate

yeah,I got it and played for few hours
until I noticed that power conditioner I had isn't strong enough (says 50watts tho ).
Anyhow,it's at my friend's place,he's el. guy trying to figure out best solution for it,
maybe to change power converter inside Triaxis or to make one external,around 100watts or som.
Will keep you updated and post some clips as soon as possible.

Oh my God, you're crazy !!! hehehehe, that's what I call GAS: gear adquisition syndrome !!!

Well, I should say that if had the money I would buy it !!!!!!

Posted by: Muris Jan 4 2008, 04:04 PM

These are words of support,thanks mate!!!!

Posted by: tonymiro Jan 4 2008, 07:33 PM

Generally I'd say go for it Muris but on this occasion I've one possible doubt - whether or not it will integrate into the versatile pre/power amp based rack system setups you've got? With that in mind would the Triaxis not deliver much of what the Roadking does whilst also being more versatile? If the Triaxis does then it might on this occasion be better to put the 1500USD towards something else (maybe a good parametric eq).

If it doesn't then 1500USD for it seems to me to be a very fair price and if it delivers what you want then great.

Just a thought as most of your rig seems to me based on versatility and flexibility...

Cheers,
Tony

Hmm I'm getting this GAS sydrome too.. I just can't watch these nice new year's discounts in music stores now.I'll have to get something

Posted by: Muris Jan 4 2008, 08:25 PM

You see???
I'm not the only one after all

What are you looking for tho?

Posted by: Bogdan Jan 4 2008, 09:13 PM

I'm thinking of some new pedal effects for bass (octaver and chorus) or a extension cab for my amp..

Posted by: Wallimann Jan 4 2008, 11:47 PM

Awesome!
Looking forward to hearing them.

Posted by: Muris Jan 5 2008, 02:05 AM

It sounds superb,I can tell from few hours I spent with it

Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Jan 6 2008, 11:52 AM

Well, Muris you at least have a (short lasting, but working) medicine for your GAS - Ebay

Posted by: Muris Jan 6 2008, 07:57 PM
