New guy here. I found a bit of info in a thread from last year, but figured it would be ok to start a one one with specific questions.
TL/DR - Mesa mark v 25 and 35 questions for a guy who wants one, but isn’t near a good enough guitar player to own one.
Background:
(Very) new player
SE Custom 22
I’ve wanted a Mesa since I was a kid, like 45+ years ago ‘cause Santana…
70’s, 80’s, 90’s rock, blues, scorpions, BOC, AC/DC…
Bedroom playing. I have a little black amp box, I’m ok getting an attenuator
Thoughts and Constraints
Pretty sure on the Mark series
Good sense says a v:25 combo
Future planning says head and speaker cab - theile, wide body 12 or recto 1x12
Good sense says v 25
Internet trash and desire says v 35 head, ‘cause better master volume, more versatile, extra cab clone model, and some features I probably won’t use, longer reverb tank.
Size says no v:35 combo
Budget says no v:90
Questions
How is the v:25 combo?
How is the v:25 head?
Is the v:35 head truly better, enough for the extra 10 lb and $200 to $300?
Cabinet recommendations?
Thanks all!
