Just had a look on line - amazing piece of kit although price appears to be around £40. How giggable is it?

Who could ask for anything more? 👍

+1

I have a Fusion 800 (not the S) and a Subway 800+. Apart from the occasional tweak to suit the venue, both give me the gig sound I'm after with EQ knobs at 12 o'clock and the Mesa hi-boost switch pretty much always on (through 2 x BF SC Gen 3 cab's btw).

And looks so cooool 😎

We're only jealous! 🤢

Just to get the taste-buds going, here's Mrs. Scrumpy's menu. Mrs Scrumpys menu.pdf

Only half an hour down the road from me too 😮

As a retired marketing guy and Mesa fan, here's my tuppence-worth. There's an old marketing adage that says the 'right' price for any product is the highest price each market will pay for it. While that may at first sound glib, there's a lot in there when you start digging. I once went to a marketing seminar presented by the UK Marketing Director of BMW cars. His opening remark was: "People often tell me my cars are expensive. That's not true - they are EXTREMELY expensive!" Needless to say, he delivered these remarks with a self-satisfied smile and a wink. Everybody in the audience got it. So, the only question that Mesa need to ask themselves is: Is our UK pricing policy reducing our sales to an unacceptably low level? If the answer is 'no', they've got it right. If the answer is 'yes', they've got it wrong.

Great for dunking - but you have to be quick 😋

OMG!! Didn't spot that, what ARE they thinking of?

Thanks Graham, will send PM.

Megathread on Talkbass, megadeath on here. Somebody's taking the p*ss with UK pricing! Shame as Mesa make such good stuff 🙁

Short-scale Sterling by MM Stingray also announced! That looks very nice but likely to be around £2k - which is the price a near-new personal import is up for on here. Don't forget the various Maruszczyk s-s basses that have been on offer for a while btw!

That body looks like it's been sculpted out of solid marble!!

Best small amp head I've tried (and owned for a couple of years now) is the Eden WTX264. No longer available new but there's been one hanging around on here for a while (may be gone now). For me the tones thru my BF One 10 are sublime, and I speak as one who gigged nothing but TE stuff for most of my playing life.

This is what I'm currently gigging, 800+ is switchable down to 2ohms btw. You would have to be careful running it through a single 4ohm Two 10 though.

Done

OK, so we finally know why the Neanderthals looked like that and it was called 'the stone age': rock-'n'-roll lifestyle and too much dope 😁

I like this! Anybody know about pricing?
