    Mesas are notoriously expensive to repair. Sick Amps in Harlow are a Mesa Authorised repairer and they charge £180 just to look at a Mesa amp, they'll repair it within that cost if it's easy enough but if it requires parts then it'll be more, and parts are difficult to come by from Mesa. Not sure it's worth the return. 

    I can confirm this, from knowing a guy that had a Mk IV that was constantly playing up on gigs. He eventually retired it.

    Yes but then they wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand (I expect).

    Even if they could, they wouldn't; they like to control supply. And I'm pretty sure every Rick that leaves the factory is already paid for.

    I don't do Insta or FB, so I miss these things., sadly. Still, nice to see them on here, and to witness Ben's willingness to reissue older models.

  4. Bridge.

     

    I've tried the Hipshot; didn't like it. I have the Allparts on a Greco copy and it's never moved in years.

     

    Scratchplate.

     

    Try Rickysounds in UK.

     

    Tuners.

     

    I would not swap out the wavy Grovers, if that's what you have.
