NCD. Finally located one! (Mesa/Boogie content)

PRS related, as far as what will be feeding it!

I, some time ago, purchased a California Tweed head and 1x12" cab. Love it. It makes more volume than I need, but ever since I saw a picture of a Boogie mini-stack back in the late 70s, early 80s I've wanted to build one with two 1x12 cabs. No other reason than I think they look cool and I've never gotten around to doing it.

I really do love the sound of the original 100 watt Jensen Blackbird speaker in the Cali Tweed cabs, but it was quickly cut down to a 40 watter in later iterations. I found exactly one like I wanted since I started looking, and it wasn't local... no shipping. The speaker alone can go for nearly $400, so I was happy when a customer at Dave's Guitar in Madison tipped me off to a trade in there. And just like that, it's on the way. And it was under $400, with cover, shipped... I'm stoked!

Whole stack picture to follow on arrival!

Excellent!

I’d love to try that amp, I liked the Fillmore clean mode a whole lot, but the drive modes didn’t do anything for me.

Score!

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Congratulations Rick. That’s gonna be very sexy.

Dig! Can’t wait to see the full stack

Its not the same but here's the other Boogie with two 2x12 (one stock, one with 90s Mesa V30s)

Congrats! I have clue zero about amps.

Bangin’!

Great call. I use a Cali Tweed 2x12 with the 100 Watt Blackbird speakers and my Fillmore, and it sounds wonderful. Enjoy that thing!

All of the Fillmore modes sound better (to me) with the Cali Tweed 2x12 than the 2x12 with Black Shadows it comes with (C-90s I think).

However, I'm not, and will never be, a high gain player, so of course take my comment with several grains of salt!

That looks awesome! But, what we really want to know is how many of those figurines did you rattle to pieces?
