Hi hows it going? Nice web site! Man am I happy to have a Music Man amp again..I could kick myself for selling my Hd 130 Reverb head...When I bought my first one awile back I also talked my bro into getting one too...he never used it so I have his HD 130 now!! last summer I also bought a Music Man Stingray2 guitar off the "Odds" I cant find any info. on this guitar on the web? My Hd 130 has been sitting in a basement for a long time, should I check it all out before I start playing it regularly? its got a little rust on the corners and top holders......its all original except for two pluggins with a switch right by the serial # area.....I think this was made for extra speakers....my two favorite bands use MM amps Shipping News, SteelPole Bathtub and A Minor Forest! | ||

Too bad it isn't (the original)Yes, Dream Theatre, Steely Dan, Big Head Todd or any one of the great Blues original players all the way up to Tommy Castro and Walter Trout... The market value of mine might be enough to unload it for a BadCat HotCat, Kendrick, Victoria, Tone Lizard, Mesa Boogie or gaaaaack eventually a Dumble clone. Instead, the thing depreciates relative to inflation and has a tiny little website infested with techs. Some tombstone for 'ol Leo  Truth stings. United, cowards stand. Sad, but viciously true. | ||

This site was set up as a place to find information on Music Man amps and was never intended to overtly increase their resale value! This is more of an appreciation and tech site. Apparently, these amps are stuck in the middle. They don't sound like most older amps when overdriven and they are aren't high-gain all-tube affairs like the current crop of boutiques. They are a great, reliable U.S.-made amplifier with killer high-headroom clean tones but clean only seems to be important to a small number of people... dirt sells! I personally love their tone, construction, longevity and design. I will get my dirt & gain externally, thank you. Unfortunately, this viewpoint appears to be too "old school" (like patriotism, WASP males in charge, customer/employee/employer loyalty, etc.) for the "modern" generations. The company wasn't named "Music Person", it was named "Music Man"... certainly not politically correct in today's watered-down, touchy-feely, namby-pamby society. Since Leo apparently had little to do with the amplifier side of Music Man I don't think his legacy would suffer because of their less than universal appeal. Leo's heart was in the Music Man guitars! | ||

Yes, the MM is a transparent, loud, reliable guitar amplifier. Correct. As to the rest, Man did you EVER miss my point! I'm a former U.S. Naval Aviator, born in early 1957. Stick to amp talk-- it's clear that an education about the wider world, "patriot", might benefit you but this is no place for it and you'd resist the information anyway. "America" today is a study in Capitalisms rape of Democracy. America yesterday had some redeeming merit as the object of anyone's blind patriotism. 9/11/01 was NOT about Firemen, Police and Flags. It was not a HAMAS / Palestinian style detonation of a bus or a shopping mall. It was Wall Street and the U.S. Dept. of Defense taking a black eye. But truth and honesty are NOT for the mass of morons. The infotainment industry insures that. Jobless Recovery my ass. | ||
