Mesa Boogie MK IV

Post by lifeisnoise »

Hi guys,

I hope this is in the right place - please forgive me if it's not. :)

I'm touring a band in mid Feb that need a Mesa Boogie MK IV (either the head or combo will do). These are obviously pretty thin on the ground. Just wondering if anyone has one (or knows of someone that has one) in Auckland that I could hire?

Many thanks!

I assume it's for Neurosis? Doubt there are many MK4's around in NZ, but if they can take MK5's you should be able to find a few to borrow/hire here. Just depends on if the pre-programmed switching system they use are compatible.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio

There's an NZ Guitarists/Bassists facebook group which might help you out. They get way more traffic over there.

Yeah, has to be a MK IV, unfortunately.

Do you happen to know the name of that guitarists/bassists facebook group? I can't seem to find anything with more than a couple of dozen members.

In the meantime, if anyone has any other ideas for places I could try chasing this up - please let me know!

Thanks so much guys!

Hmmmm, that doesn't look very metal - could you cover it in chequer plate and barbed wire maybe?
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Neurosis need them some Kempers. Mk IV profiles up the wazoo I would imagine?

Yes and no. There are lots but I've found few that replicate my preferred settings.

That looks like it could work... could you please shoot me through an email at jack@lifeisnoise.com (my account appears to be too new to send PMs).

Thanks so much!

One of them has an elaborate switching system programmed around a Fender Twin and a MK4, which handles all channel/pedals/pickup switching. These 2 amps are rather easy to hire in NA/EU so sometimes he just bring the pedals and the switching system for touring. That's probably why he can't just hire a MK5 instead, since the switching might work differently.

Also modellers and doom metal just don't mix very well haha.
