tommy p Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm terrible about being a black hole for equipment. I buy gear, decide I don't like it or just quit using it, and still keep it forever. I don't know why it's so hard to just let it go, but I finally made some decisions on a few items and offered them up.I listed my '72 SG, two Mesa combos, and a couple of pedals here for a while and only moved one of the pedals. Then I put the remaining items on it on my local Craig's List and Reverb. I sold one of the Mesas pretty quick but after several weeks the other stuff just wasn't moving despite a lot of action.Finally in a two day span, everything else sold! The other Mesa, the other pedal, and the '72 SG! I couldn't believe it! Fattened up the ol' bank account nicely and I felt not a tinge of remorse.Then like an idiot, I buy a new guitar and another amp. Any guesses as to what amp? Yup, another Mesa combo!Can someone please diagnose my problem so I can be properly medicated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamerhead Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It's possible you've over-medicated already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Haynie Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Your problem is being a guitar player. It cannot be cured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone please diagnose my problem so I can be properly medicated? Sounds like terminal, recurrent GAS. A pretty effective cure for buying Mesa combos is having to carry it everywhere you go.

BTMN Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Was the combo you bought the same model as one of the ones you sold? That might be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy p Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Which Mesa combo did you buy? 5:50 Express+ Then like an idiot, I buy a new guitar and another amp. Any guesses as to what amp? Yup, another Mesa combo! Can someone please diagnose my problem so I can be properly medicated? Sounds like terminal, recurrent GAS. A pretty effective cure for buying Mesa combos is having to carry it everywhere you go. That's normally true, but the Express series are the lightest of any Mesas I've ever owned. I have a Mesa 50 Cal I'd like to sell you. A 50 Caliber + was actually the first Mesa I ever owned. Great amp. I can't even remember why I let mine go.
