Last week, I was lucky enough to have a quick "private" tour of the Mesa Boogie factory in Petaluma California.
To make a long story short, I was in San Francisco in vacation. On Wednesday, we rented a car and visited the Napa valley. On our drive back to the hotel, I told my wife I wanted to get a quick pic of myself in front of the Mesa factory as Petaluma was a city we would be crossing.
To my surprise, I got more than a quick pic in front of the factory!
Even, if it was passed 6pm, Tien Lawrence, a product specialist (and an awesome person) was still in there and he offered me and my wife a tour around the factory. For like 50 minutes, we started from the prototyping phase to how the cabs are built, quality-control and packaging/shipping...
Sorry for the blurry pics, my wife still have to learn how to use the new digital cam.
Before I get asked that question, I did not try the new mini Rectifier! Damn I wish I could have!
And I was so surprised (flabbergasted would fit even more) that I forgot to ask all the questions I had regarding Mesa Boogie products. I felt like a kid in a candy store.
Just to let you know, I got (while doing the factory tour) the approval from the wife to order a mini Recto! So I will proceed with that case of GAS in the coming days!
Here are a the pics:
