[quote name='onehappybunny' post='594575' date='Sep 10 2009, 11:21 AM']Well, I'm getting close to 40 and my back is telling me I no longer need my lovely Mesa 400+ (that said, if you're after an all-valve amp it's one of the lighter ones)
I am the third owner of the amp (still have the original receipt) and it appears that it has been very well cared for. Very slight scratch in the paint on the right hand handle is just about visible in the pics, but otherwise it's in excellent condition. Needless to say it sounds lush :wub: and they have been discontinued fairly recently so you can't get them new
I have changed the drive valve for a Mullard ECC81 which adds to the smooth valvey tone and makes the EQ much more responsive. However, I can include the original drive valve should someone want to change back.
To save you google-ing them here's some [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Bass+Amp/product/Mesa%2FBoogie/Bass+400%2B/10/1"]Mesa 400+ reviews[/url]
Priced to sell at £850 (no offers thanks) including the Boschma 6U rack case
Hopefully the guys on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59259"]this Basschat thread[/url] don't mind me linking to let on about the secret that is Boschma rack cases
I'm based near Guildford in Surrey if anyone is interested and wants to try it out
Cheers
Stu
P.S. I have relisted this without the Lexicon MX300 and I'd messed up [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59024"]the original ad[/url] with too much confusing stuff Decided it was better to start again![/quote]
I'm just curious.
How does this one sound compared to the Mesa/Boogie Bass400?
Except beeing louder that is.
I tried the bass400 and it sounded almost exactly like Mesa/Boogie Buster200.I have never tried the 400+ but i have read somewhere that it sounds more warm and fat.Is that true?
