Aw Clarky, this would have been perfect, damn!

Bump

Bought recently for DB gigs, but having just picked up the residue of the ex-band's PA gear I have some rather nice powered monitors that can do the same job, albeit with an acoustic pre-amp in front of it. This will also free up some cash from my incoming Ampeg/Barefaced EB gig rig (the monitors end-to-end make a lovely vertical 2x12 and sound a lot better than I thought would be the case). Re the combo, it's a Walkabout, which says it all, but unlike the others, the colour scheme on this one is sexy as ........! Original thread here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/209840-mesa-walkabout-scout-300w-combo-112-sold-subject-to-etc/page__p__2112117__hl__walkabout__fromsearch__1#entry2112117."]http://basschat.co.u...1#entry2112117.[/url] Pete (whatever), who's an absolute gent and packaged this baby well enough for it to have survived even Parcel Monkey (who we didn't use, but you get the idea), has clearly looked after the unit very well and it's in perfect working and aesthetic order. I'll take some more pics later as to my eye it looks a little washed out in the pics in the original thread Chris PS sorry, I'm not interested in trades unless it's for a moderate power (100-200w) all-tube head or a good quality EUB

The SVT's now sold, the SVP is available at £250, which seems a fair price?

[quote name='Shaggy' timestamp='1376733372' post='2178470'] Just noticed this too late...... Lovely rig, which I only moved on as I was DI-ing. I'd always meant to pair the SVT-300 with an Aguilar DB680 pre - what a rig that would have been - but the SVP is a very nice pre-amp indeed, great in the studio too. Greg [/quote] Thanks Greg, I'm still loving the MK-35, hope the same's true with the SJ-200? The SVT is simply too big and too loud for me so I'm downgrading to something slightly less manly! Hope all's well down in the Urban South! C

£250 plus postage for the SVP Chris

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1376631388' post='2177003'] Still can't find any info on the 'new' v4b [/quote] Seems to be quite a lot of it out there although AFAIK they're not in the shops yet. SVT-300 sold pending the usual. SVP still up for grabs C

Now for sale as I may have found an all-tube Ampeg replacement, albeit of slightly lower power output

[quote name='roonjuice' timestamp='1375964152' post='2167954'] Well..... The Svt would be a race tuned Dakar rally land rover pickup, and the Mesa would be a Porsche 911 turbo lemans ( in my blind eyes) [/quote] Ah, I see, Just realised that had I read you original post I might have been able to read between the lines and infer the link to a certain US manufacturer also

[quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1376119198' post='2169853'] Blood and sand! Sorry Chris.....mind you, it wouldn't have surprised me if young Clarky had owned it, as you said :-) Forgot about the 4ohm load into the 2 eights. That puts me out of the running then. John [/quote] It might run that low (2ohm), but if i were going to do it I'd either be very careful or replace the drivers in the combo for an 8ohm load first C

[quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1376069290' post='2169382'] Ooooh! If you ever think of splitting the extension cab, let me know. I now have Clarky's 2x8 combo. I'm in south west so not too far. John [/quote] Clarky's............? This is one of the few things I've owned that hasn't also been owned by Mark Keep in mind John that your is 4ohm having had a driver upgrade. Not sure if the head will run below 4ohm comfortably, but at least you're getting the full output into the current drivers C

Ha ha, if I knew anything about engines I'd have really appreciated the analogy So, give me an example of a car which is a Mesa and one which is an Ampeg?
