It explains why there's such a massive gulf in used prices on Mesa here too, i've seen Lonestars from £800 - £1600 used which is a HUGE difference, but i get why people who bought new don;t want to take a 60% loss if they decide to sell
We have narrowed it down to a bias issue, but it still won't be fixed by Mesa. To make matters worse, Mesa don't release schematics etc so he cannot get anyone locally to look at it.
I recently picked up a Mini Rec for £500 - New uk price is £1275. It's a great amp, and to me it's worth shelling out £500 for, but not £1275.
So it depends who's asking the question sadly - and I won't be buying more Mesa gear thanks to lack of support from the UK distributor. There are better alternatives out there
I don't think that's an accident.

There are different degrees of capitalist shafting though - Mesa's approach is a clear case of restrictive trading designed to artificially increase prices… I'm pretty sure it would be illegal if it was all conducted within the EU.

The price hike on guitars and amps in the last few years is getting scary, i hope this opens the way for local builders to come to the fore...
