Mesa Boogie Serial Number Lookup
I emailed Mesa Boogie, but they don't have serial number dating for their older amps. The Serial number on my amp is IV2142. Anyone have an idea of when this one would have been produced? Just curious.
Mesa Boogie Serial Number Lookup
Early Boogie Amps. Mesa amps built before serial number decals were in use (generally Pre-1987) have a variety of serial number locations and styles. Most common is a serial number that is stamped or punched into the metal rear panel and often under or near the speaker jacks. Their serial number is in numerable order. For example I have a R-0064. Meaning it's the 64th Recto made from Mesa Boogie. You can take the chassis out and see the hand writing from the tech who assemble the amp, for example mine is 3/92. It's easy to do.

The Mesa guy gave me this reply: Unfortunately we do not have an accurate serial number database especially for our older amps, therefore, not all amps can dated accurately. However I would assume that your amp was built in the early 90's. I searched online and can't really find anything where someone has a manufacture date for anything with close to my serial number. Also tried a search here. Thanks for the help. I emailed Mesa Boogie, but they don't have serial number dating for their older amps. The Serial number on my amp is IV2142.

Slide the chassis out of the cab. It will more than likely have a date written in magic marker pen somewhere from the testing stages. Mines a '92 with a 1500 serial range. It's got MB's initials and dates all over it.
Mesa Boogie Serial Number
So the serial number is R-004737 but it has a small logo the pins instead of screws the 8-16 8-16 4 ohm 4ohm backplate with attatched power cord but a parallel effects loop because it has 2 knobs instead of 1. So is it a rev G or rev F or a random in the middle one I have been all over boogie board and the only thing I can find is that it might be a left over shell and chassis? The price is 850$ let me know if thats a good revision to buy I don't want to let it slip out I owned a dual rack mount rectifier the thing slayed I am hoping to get that sound but with a more portable head. Here is a weird thing to add to your confusion, I have serial #1544 and has small logo, pins, schumacher transformers, attached power cable, series loop with old mark series knob correct ohm markings and has a Rev G board. I also have #683 and its a Rev F both sound incredible and different.
I assume the board could have been replaced but the serial number is older than any other rev g ive seen and it doesn't make sense. Oh well its killer either way. My advice buy it. Those transformers have been known to blow and melt down boards. I'm betting if you call Boogie and ask, you're going to find out #1544 made a trip back to Boogie and had to have the board replaced with a Revision G board.

Hahaha I love it diezel monster thank you I am having a slight case of deja vu and I did buy the amp thanks New world man do you have any other news about the rectifier I just bought are those transformers gonna melt down or anything? As we have seen from the great guitar center kings lol sometimes they know its broken and sell it anyway advice on this matter would be much appreciated: ) I had a 2 channel blackface chrome Chassis that was R-0046xx i think but it did not sound good to me I am hoping this 2 channel sounds better more like the rack rectifier I had which was in the R-0060xx that was the best sounding rectifier I have ever owned. But the clean channel lacked in ways that wouldn't be good for studio or live so I am working on a 2 head rig the dual I just orderd and a Laney GL50. That way I have 2 heads one for cleans and a marshally sound without the marshall and of course the mighty rectifier however my back up plan is if this thing sounds like poo I am just getting another rack mount rectifier and some rack processor and doing the four cable method. However I think God thinks I should keep the Mark V so we will see next friday when I have both amps and no girlfriend in town lol.
