This is my project I've been working on the last several weeks. It's a 2010 Mesa Transatlantic 15. I'd been wanting one for a while, but since Covid the prices have jumped about 1/3 and I'd held off hoping to find one locally. I had actually missed this same amp a while back when it was on CL, but then Mrs Lister saw it pop up on FB market and finally it was mine.
As you can tell it had the finish flaws the early amps were noted for, so I decided to do something about it.
In pieces:
And here is where I messed up. Even though I washed everyting down, I should have used a good degreaser before I shot paint...
It doesn't look back from a distance, but there was a few places where adhesion was an issue.
So I decided to sand it back down and respray. But after sanding it down, I really started liking the way it was looking, so I decided to leave it , it's my version of a reliced Mesa if you will.
I'm still waiting on some parts, I'm changing the blue LEDs to red and it's getting some new tubes, but I'm pretty happy with the final product. The Top boost and HB1 or Marshall mode all at 15 watts are were I like this amp at the most.
