Two years ago, it was a Fender Telecaster. Last year, it was a Fender Stratocaster . . . Just last week . . . had to have it. The Mesa Boogie Express 525 amplifier . . .A Fender Telecaster? A Fender Stratocaster? A Mesa Boogie amplifier? Clearly (says this proud player of a Gibson Les Paul through a Fender amplifier) the gentleman is a proud philistine . . .

Wished I’d gotten a refund and I’d have bought a Telecaster. Don’t care much for Mesa Boogies.
Prefer Gibson myself.
And much more rebelious!
Hey!
Don’t be telling ME what to do with MY amplifier!
I can toss it in the trash if I don’t want it.
People like you would try to pass laws that if I don’t want my amplifier, then someone else would get a chance at it, before it got crushed in the dumpster..
See, that’s what happens when you write an article and don’t get to the point until the 5th or 6th paragraph. No one gets the point.
you mean they're not sending the Learjet for you?
Ok I admit it’s an ok piece. By pop “logic”, it’s not a Mesa until the experts say it’s a Mesa, or until somebody wants to buy it.
I went to the Mesa store on Sunset when I was there last time, but mussed the factory. Amazing stuff. I consider them the “Rolls Royce” of amps.
That said, I buy all my guitars and basses here: http://www.rondomusic.com/
Even after a complete setup, they’re ridiculously inexpensive and serve very well.
It was a stretch to say the least.
I thought he was arguing the OPPOSITE argument at first,
that a baby isn’t a baby until all its pieces are together.

Yeah. It was a complete switching of gears. It was like two articles glued together. And you can see the seam.
I have an SX bass as well. Good value, to be sure.
And I'll be getting a new Amp with my Tax Refund too, a Fender Mustang III. 100 Watts, 12" Speaker, and tons of presets. Also comes with cool software.
And that new Blacktop Jag is cool. Has a short scale 24" neck. With the 2 'hot' Humbuckers it's *almost like* a Strat and Les Paul mated.
Me too...
Sounds like something Bwaney Fwank would do :)
Well get back over there and clean up that factory! You muss it, you bus it.
I prefer my John Lennon signature Rickenbacker played through a Vox AC-30 Top Boost Amplifier using Pyramid Gold strings!
I have made some sweet music with my ‘76 Les Paul custom but after acquiring my tele, it’s all I play anymore. I keep the Les Paul around because it’s beautiful, somewhat sentimental, and, at nearly 40 years old, irreplaceable to me but I rarely play it. The tele rocks man. I play through a marshal amp and a fender amp. Hard to say which of those I like more. I’m listening to a jam I recorded on the fender/fender setup a few weeks ago- it’s an eargasm.
I modified my epiphone valve Jr with a bitmo tweaky mod and a new power output transformer and tubes It’s now my go to amp. $170.
