Mesa Boogie New Shipment !!!

Hello from Memphis and Blues City Music LLC.

Great things are happening at BCM LLC right now especially with the upcoming arrival of a new pallet of Mesa Boogie products.  The following are coming with this shipment:

2 - Mark V 35 - heads.  (I may hang onto 1 for the demo room).

2 - Mark V 35 - 1x12" combos.  1 black 1 Custom Shop in creme.

1 - Rosette - 1x`10" acoustic combo.

1 - 2x12" - Vertical cabinet.

2 - 5 band Graphic EQ's. 

I should have another pallet shipping in May, June, and July, so either roll the dice and see what I have when it arrives, or secure a purchase right here with a custom order.  I'd do the latter as many others have done the same thing.

Turn It Up !!!

Business is booming, thanks so much !!!

Hello from Memphis,

We just wanted to thank all of our dear customers and friends for supporting Blues City Music LLC.  We've never seen business like this EVER.  Right now, we are up on average 400% on a month to month basis. Because of this we are doing all we can to repurchase everything we sell and also make additional purchases so when you buy it's ACTUALLY IN STOCK.  That is a moving target in the post Covid 19 world, but we are doing our best and so far it's going well.

Next week, we will have an 810 pound shipment coming to us from Mesa Boogie.  We have 25 open multiple item back orders with Mesa Boogie and this will make a small dent in our back orders.  Standby for updates on what's coming as well as other product lines like Seagull Guitars and 2 more Artist Series acoustics, 1 more McMillan dreadnought, additional Furch acoustic guitars, as well as another dozen or so Bare Knuckle pickup sets.

WE ARE the custom boutique musical instrument shop for Memphis.  That's a fact.  Come see us with a private appointment where you can play AS LOUD AND AS LONG as you like, or buy with confidence on the encrypted https web store right here.  You've come to the right place.

Turn It Up.

Mesa Boogie / Gibson Guitars acquisition

Hey guys/gals,

Hope all is well.  For those that may have heard or seen information about Gibson Guitars buying Mesa Boogie, RELAX.  This IS NOT CBS buying Fender in January 1965.  That was a disaster. 

Mesa Boogie has been owned by the same group since its inception in 1969.  Randy Smith, CEO of Mesa Boogie is 75 now.  He doesn't want to work for ever, but still very much enjoys doing new products like the Badlander that just launched. 

Mesa's shortest tenured employee in Petaluma, California, is 20-22 years employment.  These are family members to Randy, and make no doubt about it, Randy will have complete control of Mesa Boogie.

So, did you know Fiat owns Ferrari and Lambo both?  My point exactly, Maranello does exactly what they've always done, build the finest super cars money can buy.  Fiat just stays out of the way.  Gibson will do the same as they know ALL too well how this acquisition will be initially perceived. 

Relax.  All is well with Mesa Boogie.

Mesa Boogie Badlander amplifiers on the way !!!

Great news !!!

Mesa Boogie's latest electric guitar amplifier the Badlander is shipping NOW to Blues City Music LLC.  We have 1 - 100 watt head, 2 - 50 watt heads, and 1 - 1x12" combo with a Celestion 65 watt Creamback speaker coming very soon. 

Look for the 100 watt head by end of November 2020 and the remaining Badlanders coming first week of December 2020.

You want this amp.  It is the finest recreation of the original 2 channel Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, but with a new twist and lots of new options.
