Music Man AMPLIFIER sighting!

[PaoloGilberto]

well I live in Transylvania and learned quick all about Lbs when trying to ship my guitars from US to RO ))

just 2 weeks ago I was on the USPS site, but you can select metric system also for the shipping calculator

How about miles vs. km? How's that coming? My old boss was from Transylvania, has been in the US for 17 years and still has no idea about miles.

Hows this for a sighting

Still wondering what models are gonna be available?

 

[TNT]

Man, unless you need a "hand truck" to wheel your amp/cab onto the stage it ain't worth playin'!!!

 

[DrKev]

The little 50W 112 could do the job nicely!

I think EB should restart production of amplifiers. They used to do a good job in the past with theirs. I wonder why is not happening.

 

[DrKev]

Dede - they are, hence the two current threads.

 

[Eric O'Reilly]

Good one!

My mesa 1x12 weighs 75lbs. I had to work in the gym for a few months so I could haul it to the gigs.

That's how much JP's coffee cup weighs! haha.

Nice looking amps. Can't wait to try one out.

Knobs go from 0 - just like the originals

And he still uses a 25th to test... god bless you BP


I also found this online this morning..... yum...

On the you tube clips there is a lot of dialogue about the amps. Regretably I can't speak Italian, so if any of our Italian knucks want to provide a brief synopsis of the salient points that would be great !!

Did you see how light the RD50 type model was?
Must be down the neodynium magnets I guess?

One observation though is that although there is a MM logo badge on them, there isn't a second amp designation plate that the old amps had in the bottom right hand corner?

(Beware this is a MM amp corksniffer question) ... ... Is the grill cloth a faithfull reproduction of the original grill cloth.


So many questions lol

Wow, I didn't know this was happening.
Very cool.
I still have my original 410HD - 130W, such a great amp.

Quite a rare one too - I haven't seen one in the flesh!

Great amp - BLOODY heavy.
Back when I was gigging I considered chopping it up to make a head / cab to make it more portable.

Here's an all Music Man pic from a fair few years back.
The collection has grown / changed a fair bit since then !

Can't see your picture at the mo (Bl88dy filters in work grrrrrr!)

apparantly they weigh 77lbs!!

The heaviest MM amp 212HD 130 evm weighed in at a massive 93 lbs!!

Lug that around a few months and I'm sure you'd get bigger biceps than JP himself lol

So here it is then - THE announcement ...
