It is an absolutely stunning rig... can't wait to really give it a test run tomorrow at practice! I really don't know why I was surprised, I mean I loved the PJB cabs, they truly sound outstanding, but the combination of Mesa head and double Mesa cabs is something to behold. Spec-freaking-tacular. The combination of this rig with my ACG 6er and a Helix LT makes for probably the best combination of bass/rig/effects I have ever owned, or probably ever will own. Realistically, what's better out there? (Obviously it's all very subjective!) 😁 Well 'appy!

Knowing you, you'll be in charge of the killing too!

Well, I'm honestly surprised at how absolutely fecking good this sounds! I don't know why I'm surprised, but I am and it's glorious. When I die from spinal compression (8-10 days) have me buried with these...

Just thought I'd offer it up if anyone has a possible use for it... will bin it in a few days of not! It's from a Fender Rumble.

Interesting interpretation of "New"
binky_bass replied to Beer of the Bass's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
£25 for a set of 45 year old strings or £25 for a set of 2020 new strings? Can't see anyone risking it unless they buy them without realising they are older than the wheel. -

45 year old strings, even if not applied to a bass, will likely be utterly unusable I would have though... -

I'm absolutely aware one is more than enough, but at the price they were I'm not sorry I bought two. I can have my fill and sell one on in a year or so and probably break almost even.

Looks like you'll be lugging this around instead @Beedster. Been told by guitarguitar that they've just realised one has a black grill! Or should I say this:

Sounds like an offer for a free roadie!

Evening all, So GuitarGuitar have just told me that one of the two Mesa Boogie Powerhouse Traditional 4x10 I've just bought from them has a special order black grill as opposed to the silver/grey grill the traditionals should have. As recompense for this faux pas they have offered me a £98 (yes, £98 not £100) gift card to spend as I choose on anything at all from their bountiful website. My preference however is to ask Mesa to ship me over a matching grey/silver grill or black grill so I end up with a matched pair! I am therefore offering this £98 gift card for a mere £80. Have £18 on me! It's as good as cash, so long as you are buying from guitarguitar. Someone here must be looking to buy some strings or something soon, if so then for 80 of your actual pounds I will grace you with 98 guitarguitar pounds! That is all. Russ.

I had actually planned on balancing both cabs on the head, but with the head on it's side and the cabs upside down. Totally legit. 👍

An artist's rendition (a terrible artist... me.)

Agreed. I did have an older Powerhouse 4x10 like that one you posted, ran it with a Mesa M-Pulse 600. Was a very good rig. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll actually prefer these Mesa cabs to my current PJB cabs, I do love the PJB cabs, but they MUST now go with the Mesa cabs coming in. From my experience the Bass has the largest impact in tone (quite obviously), followed by head, then cabs. Most 'high end' cabs I've owned over the years haven't really coloured the sound that much, they just accurately pump out 'noise' based on the bass/head combination. Looking forward to seeing these cabs in the flesh!

Yes sir. Wheels they have. Thank god...

I got suckered right in... I barely remember doing it. I think I was drugged... I know it's totally unnecessary and I'll never actually run it at 'full volume' as I don't tend to play stadiums but £599 for a brand spanking new Mesa Traditional 4x10 seemed pretty damn good. Most second hand ones I've seen have gone for more, so logic be damned! I'll stick a photo up when they arrive. If my spine survives lifting them, which is unlikely. So, if I don't die from over exposure to high volumes, I'll die from 'crushed spine' syndrome. Either way, I'm most likely a goner.

So... it happened again... I need genuine medical help. Our good friends at guitarguitar have dropped the price of their last 2 Mesa Boogie Traditional Powerhouse 4x10 cabs to a lean £599 a piece, that's 55% off the RRP of £1350 (currently selling for that at gear4music). And, well... I may have accidentally bought them. Both. My inner OCD required a full matching rig after having bought the Mesa Boogie Strategy Eight:88 from err... well... guitarguitar a month or so ago. So now, once these cabs have been delivered, the rig will be a Mesa Boogie Strategy Eight:88 head with two rather tasty 600w Mesa Boogie Traditional Powerhouse 4x10 cabs. If I'm not heard from in the next few days, it's because the walls of my house have crumbled due to the horrendous volumatic nature of this completely unnecessary rig! Help. Please.

Hi all, OPEN TO SENSIBLE OFFERS!!! My new Mesa Boogie 4x10 cabs have now officially arrived therefore I'm now offering these two exceptional PJB cabs for sale. These cabs are awesome, the tone and projection is stunning, they look intimidating and have enough power to level a city block. (Combine power of 1200w). The only reason I moved to Mesa cabs is because I have a Mesa head and my OCD required matching cabs! The 12b weights in at a little more than 30kg and the 6t is 20kg or so. The 12b is 6 ohm and the 6t is 12 ohm, run together in as daisy chain they operate at 4 ohm so ideal for the majority of amps. The 12b has 12x5 Neo Power PJB speakers and runs at 600w, the official weight is 68.5lbs and the dimensions are 21" x 20" x 29" The 6t has 6x5 Neo Power PJB speakers and also runs at 600w, the official weight is 51lbs and the dimensions are 21" x 18" x 16" (ish). The 12b doesn't come up for sale too often, these were a shade north of £1000 new, the 6t sits exactly on top of the 12b to form a stack that will crush most other cabs. The 6t cabs have a retail of £700ish. So I'm pricing these at 50% of new price. I'm in Basildon, Essex and these are strictly for collection or possible meet up somewhere. Any questions, let me know! Russ.

Hi, So I got this in a box of random bits I bought from a fellow basschatter, I will never have a use for it except to cut it up and use it for various strange and illicit purposes, so instead of doing that, I thought it best to offer it up to anyone who may want it. I'm assuming it's for a Dingwall Super J 4, looks exactly the same but as I don't have a Dingwall Super J 4 I can't 100%. Can't imagine what else it could be for! Reckon postage would be £2, so if you're happy to pay postage then I'll send it out to you! Ta, Russ.

Hi all, I need to raise some funds to pay off the rest of a holiday that I probably shouldn't have booked! So, on the chopping block is my G4M SDP-2 88 key digital piano. The piano sounds superb when run through a bass amp, really rich and resonant. It does have built in speakers, but I found that the sounds is infinitely better through an amp. The piano is in mint condition, barely a mark on it anywhere! It works absolutely perfectly and will come with a heavy duty double braced stand, a sustain pedal, power supply and a very good piano book. These are £200 new, already a very good price in my opinion! The stand was a little north of £30 (it is a good stand, not a cheap one!) with all the other bits I've got about £250 in this. I'm asking £160 which I think is very fair given the condition! Happy for you to collect from me in Basildon, Essex or I can post for £10 extra. Any questions, please ask!

On a hideous drink fueled listening binge... curious to know what songs you consider to be absolute staples of your youth. There are many of course, so let's say 3 per head. In no particular order.. 1: Jimmy Eat World - The Middle 2: The Offspring - Get A Job 3: Bad Religion - Sorrow I'll wake to tomorrow and want to change these no doubt, but, regardless, they are songs that made my youth and ones I still love today! I reckon (give it a few weeks) I'll compile a Spotify song list of all of the songs in the responses and paste the link here so we can all re-live our collective youths!
