Mesa Subway D350 is 3” x 9” x 8.25. An excellent amp, if a bit pricey.

So why are the Di out xlr's a different way up on both 500 and 700 models😁

I've had my d350 for about 18 months. It is very good and is no slouch in terms of volume and is so light and porrable. Ive used it for most gigs, the other choice being my d800. The build quality is top notch, better than any other ive seen. I got mine by chance from America, I paid 780 uk pounds including all taxes. I'm aware that's expensive, but it is very good. I have ordered wd800, its now 1300 uk pounds, I think it was previously 1100 uk pounds before the covid sales ban, so that's not an unreasonable price rise.

799 dollars is 630 uk pounds. On a lighter note, I see you have the "Sweetwiter" spelling issue too....lol!

The wd800 is about 35% more expensive than Sweetwiter over here. The d350 is about 43% more expensive than Sweetwiter over here.

The wd800 and d800+ are about the price I expected them to be, but the d350 is a bit pricey.

24th Feb 2024, Gibson Garage opening in London... according to email I got. Hopefully Mesa bass amps available too.

You need rounds for "that"sound. DR Sunbeams are good for fretless, I'm currently using DAddario NYXL's on my fretless Xotic Jazzbass.

One if the venues I play with a big band has a backline. Recent new bass amp is an Ampeg V4B reissue and 212 cab. Its a really nice amp I enjoy using, I would have one if it wasn't so heavy compared to my Mesa D800, but it is still a joy to use. Wish I'd found a V4B back in the 70s/80s when I was using other amps of the day.

I would try shielding the bass first. Including the pickup cavities. Also make sure the pickup wires are routed away from the preamp module. These are issues I had with an early german metroline.

I play bass guitar in a big band. Ive done the Barefaced thing, they are good, but I now use GR Bass aerotec cabs, they are even lighter and sound is brilliant. I use a 2x10..600watts mostly with the big band. I use either Mesa d800 or d350 amp. I also have a Grbass 112H cab. Ive used both cabs with the big band once in a large venue. Really worth taking a look at these cabs. I haven't used gr amps so can't comment on them.

I use GR bass 2x10 and 112H for bass guitar. Our keyboard player just bought a 112H 350 watt powered cab on the back of trying my speakers and comparing others on the market. He is very happy with it.

The powered GR cabs are available to order. Our keyboard player had just got one on the back of trying my GR bass cabs. He has a 112H 350 watt and is very pleased with it. I've plugged my bass into it without a preamp...just straight in to try it and it sounds great.

I have a Mesa D350... no fan, so totally silent in the house.

He went on to produce Deacon Blue and opened a successful recording studio in New Zealand.

I got to play the fretted version in 1978, it belonged to a friend. Here it is playing through a Sunn Concert bass amp and Cerwin Vega B36MF. 1224560_636482066371283_45808_n.mp4 No foh and recorded in a radio cassette at the back of the hall. It was a very nice bass at the time, compared to my P bass.

There's a Baby Sumo for sale on here... can't go far wrong with that. I've had one for few years, use it with my mesa d800+ di preamp. It's been completely reliable.

It's a 450 watt 112H, now known as a 112H+

Mesa d350 doesn't have a fan. I have a USA one, but I think they will be available in the UK later this year...so I've heard! It's pretty loud, I haven't needed to use my d800 at a gig since I got the d350.

I use a Gruvgear duel strap, it helps a lot with neck dive and holds the bass in place. Expensive, but I found it worth it. https://gruvgear.com/products/duostrap-neo

Good shout, the Empress already has a HPF in the side chain to do just that. That's why I bought one😀

I owned 2 x BF 110s. I liked them, but found their limitations on a rare loud gig. I was going to buy a third BF 110, but decided to try a GR Bass aero 210. I idea was to combine the BFs and the GR to have 4 x 10s for loud gigs. The GR is a 4 ohm cab, so matched impedance with 2 x 8 ohm BFs to give 2 ohm load from my Mesa D800. The GR 210 was much more sensitive and buried the 2 BF cabs. It also went much louder before B string breakup. This is my experience of the GR 10s.
