Mark Bass vs Mesa Boogie? Help me.

[Russel]

As to gigging, I'm an amateur with little time to play. I don't have the skills, nor time to gig. I just play along to CDs & MP3s at home. My wife also plays drums. It's a stress reliever for me.

I do like appreciate nice equipment though and would rather learn on good equipment versus satisfactory equipment. I realize that disliking carpeted amps might sound trivial. But I have three animals that shed. Carpeted amps attract animal hair like a magnet.

Thanks to all for the advice and comments.

If you find a guitarist and the three of you just start jamming favorite songs every now and then, you'll love it. You and your wife are gonna lock up real well.

As for the carpeting, I feel you, man. Had to use the vacuum on one of our pooches once. but it's a small trade for such a good amp. When I had a carpeted cab, I used to put it in a place that the doogies didn't like to go. Kept the pee and fur off of it pretty well.


And you're welcome.

Fortunately, I have a female dog so there is no spraying. And my cat is too fat to climb upstairs.

You are right about it being a small trade off. I'm really amazed at the sound quality with the MB over my previous GK Backline 210. It has such a rich sound with a lot of harmonics, overtones, whatever you call that stuff. I didn't realize how important the amp was to the sound until I was purchasing an amp to go with my Silhouette.
