    Really?

    Well, not to the point that I wear Mesa t-shirts, bandanas, or arseless chaps with a Mesa Lifestyle company logo emblazoned on them.
    And not to the point where I won't have another brand in the house, just to the point where I can recognise most of the current range, and a few of the older ones.

    I'm not sure that recognising it to be a Road King makes me a rocket surgeon. I'm mildly obsessed with Mesa amps, is all.

    nice use of the "jimmy"

    I am hoping to visit sometime. TRouble is, I usually get a break in February, and I just can't bring myself to go to Scotland then rather than a ski resort in Canada.
    Year after next I am gonna break teh cycle and take August off and see Scotland.

    Yeah, It's more likely that I'll be dragged up and down munros (? spelling ), plus I am definitely going to a ceilidh.

    Oh der, I know that, I was just making polite ocnversation in return.

    Contrasting my "obsession" with peeps who are really obsessed. I was thinking of some folk I saw in a road cafe recently who were wearing most of the Harley catalogue between them, including the arseless chaps, which nearly had me spit my coffee out my nose. Ordinary dweebs dressed as heroes !!

    Haha, I know guys like that with different things.

    The worse was I saw a guy in a Fender shirt who didn't play guitar (I naturally talk to people in gear related shirts haha)

    Yes, Fender is another companyt to market teh "lifestyle" image. I could of mentioned that, but didn't want you to think i was having a go at you. I know you love your Strat. I am gonna sell mine, just not doing it for me.

    Apparently GIbson have tried it too, there are a couple of "GIbson Experience" or somesuch stores, with clothing racks and restuarant etc.
    So far as I know, Mesa have not been tempted yet.

    An odious marketing invention that belongs in teh "unique to your country" thread.

    I wear Fender shirts, but not excluvisley. Just like I would wear a band shirt or a team I support I guess. Sometimes it gets stupid though.

    yeah, it's ok to a point, i used to wear ducati shirts.

    It's the total Lifestyle thing that gets a bit over the top.

    The coolest part about that amp is the ease at which you can tweak it....IE I need a little more of this or a little less of that...without changing the guts that kind of thing. Fender Clean, Pushed Marshall clean, More Crunch with a looser bottom end.... full on mesa rip. etc. It's a simple rig for some people because they want everything in one box. Having all those connections and tweaks gives you flexibility. Thanks for the Pic Greg.

    I still wish they would reissue the Blue Angel in 4x10 format with a tremolo.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.
