So erm my wife is my favourite person in the world, and she is generally ok with my “I’ve just spent our money on something from a guy on basschat, oh and I’m going to take half the weekend driving half the country to pick it up”... she’s great. however I explained to her what I was thinking of doing and she had a fairly strong reaction about liking this amp (see the title wasn’t a lie) and also pointing out that our house might not be big enough for my plan... so I need to think this one through - I’ll be asking a mod to lock this thread shortly for now...

Maybe? I think the cab has been around basschat a bit @Oldman and @TPJ I think have owned it. I was supposed to be selling a combo to mark at old chapel in Leeds @mark_ir and he let me have a try of a whole pile of amps and cabs they have there, including a Mesa m-pulse 600 and two walkabout heads - I ended up giving him money and taking this home with the head I preferred the sound of.... I’m almost talking myself out of selling it here.

Oh and I’ve got the original Mesa cover too

SO one of those threads where I'm floating it out there to see if there's any interest in an item because I've got GAS for something else. To be honest I'm not 100% about selling this as I love the thing, but thought it's worth trying. So what is it? Only one of the most iconic bass amps from the last 20 years, small, compact but packing a punch of old school solid state tone, with it's big old valvey sound. It's a really early one. Go look at the threads on Talkbass and you'll find chat about the older ones being brighter sounding than the later ones. The early ones were also unofficially stable at 2 ohms. (But obviously if you need something that runs at 2 ohms, read up on it as it's officially 4 ohms min) Amp rated at 300w solid state watts at 4 ohms. I had a problem with it a year or so ago, and the power transformer melted. The original Mesa Czech made transformer was replaced with a official Mesa USA made part but Mesa's authorised tech in my part of the world. (not cheap) - but it means it was serviced within the last two years. Oh yeah, it's got a late 50's or early 60's Philips ECC83 in valve position 1. I got it and it sounded way nicer than the stock Mesa valve so it stayed in there. If anyone wants me too I can open it up and check what it is. And this one has a lovely green cab, with basket grill, and brown leather handle and corners. I can actually leave this in the front room and not get complaints cos it looks classy. Compact enough it will take up half the boot of a Mk7 Golf and fit under the parcel shelf. Price includes UK postage/delivery etc. If you're outside the UK delivery costs will vary obviously. Probably not feasible to post outwith the EU. Offers will be listened too; Trade offers... well I have plans for what I would replace this with but sometimes Basschat trade offers are where the exciting discoveries are found...
