Come borrow it!
Well, flights to and from and a flight case for the head would still be cheaper than buying the head itself!

You must have some exceptional karma for a $950 Mark V. Keep doing whatever you’re doing.

I am broke as a joke now, needed that deal or there was no way.

When you have a Mark V, I'm sure eating instant ramen with no toppings for a few months is not that bad!

So, would $1350 for a MkV head and 4X12 Mesa cab in mint condition be a good deal?

Well, turns out it's just for the head. The guy's ad was terribly written and confusing. Also, no footswitch. 
Still a pretty good price.

Still an absolute steal honestly
Depending on how much FS functionality you need…. I’ve been having issues with mine and just ordered one of these

Heck of a lot cheaper than a replacement from boogie. Again depending on how much Fs functionality you need… factory switch was overkill for me anyway
Can share my review once it arrives

Need far more data/testing before I claim anything is “solved” since it’s an intermittent issue, but so far so good
Does everything I want for cheaper and in a way smaller footprint which is nice
I can say, even if I do end up experiencing such intermittent issue again, so far way less frequent than it was happening (ie all the time to Not at all so far)
Fingers crossed

What issue are you having?
The one thing I hate about these Mesa footswitches is the way the mini-din cable plugs into the side. I've stepped on that damn thing right up close to where it plugs in several times and it breaks the internals of the cable and not the footswitch. Then you have to order a NEW cable and it works.
I've resigned to always leaving these mini-din cable footswitches unplugged when I'm not using them.

Out of now where (again very intermittently) sometimes when is switch to Chanel one I’d have no so sound. LEDs on amp itself where where they should be but no audio signal. Usually would correct once or twice switching to another channel or back but kind of a big issue. And since it started a month or two ago was more and more frequent. Tried a new cable (already had two) didn’t help. It has been getting worse and worse but so far with new setup has been fine…

Also did the Mesa released “mod” of bending the pin… but didn’t help. But thst was more specific to EQ switching

Interesting, not really familiar with these models at all… sleeper cult classic? Looks like it’s got a Vox thing going on?
