This one has been a long time coming (just ask Forrest). I do some custom building and repair work for a local shop, so I was able to barter my services towards a brand new Mesa MkV:35 amp. We couldn't figure out why it was taking so long for Mesa to ship it, but apparently they had lost (or never received) his order. Because of that they offered a free custom color tolex/grill upgrade. Since I'm boring, I stuck with black taurus but I did upgrade the grill cloth to the gold jute. I'm excited about this as it fills a bit of a gap in my amp collection, especially at home.
