Re: FOR SALE: Mesa Boogie Mark I Combo Amp

["Krispen Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

Don't worry Mark, I won't sell both of my VF1's! :)   They are amazing 
little boxes.

Bill, what's wrong with the JC120?  I can't tell whether you were making a 
fecicios comment about them or not. Forgive me if you weren't. Some 
amazing 
jazz players, like Pat Martino and Mike Stearn, have used those amps. 
Frankly, there really isn't such a thing as a "jazz amp." Jazzers of all 
calibers use what fits their taste...I've seen it all, from solid state 
Polytones, Rolands, and Gibsons, to tube Fenders, Boogies, and Music Man. 
Some guitarists, like McLaughlin, have even bi-passed amps altogether at 
times, plugging directly into processors and then directly into the board. 
The breadth of taste is pretty amazing.

...I do wish I had my old Polytone Teeny Brute back...I was such an idiot 
for selling that years ago.

Kris
