Classic Mesa Boogie Mark IV Amp - the choice of the professional
This great little amp has been used professionally for 8 years, touring the world as part of the backing for such names as Tony Christie, Marti Webb, Petula Clark, Darren Day, Brian Conley, Claire Sweeney and Zoe Tyler among others - loads of history!!!
As you'd imagine there are a few little scuffs from the road which I've tried to detail in the photos, but as it's been pro equipment it has always been well loved and looked after and performs as new.
This amp is packed with features that you won't find anywhere else. From Mesa's website :

This is a weighty amp, so unfortunately I can't post it out and you'll have to collect it in person (so don't ask!). Please ask any other questions, I'll try to answer as best I can.
Thanks for looking - happy bidding!
