TheButler Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Quick question. I'm currently wanting to decide what I should put some money towards for next year. I'm going to try putting £100 away a month to get a bit more gear. All I have done in the past 6 months is fester in my own self pity. I sold lots of stuff and kinda want to rebuild my rig. I've got my own place now, SWMBO gave me an assigned man cave room, and I have been given the green light to put some new furniture in it. Call it an investment! Anyway, I was wondering about getting another 400+ - I was thinking that I could maybe just get the Strategy though? I'm crap when it comes to figuring this stuff out, but I guess I could run the Strategy through the 400+ pre or something? I was also thinking about getting another one, or two of the Mesa Diesel cabs. I've got a 1516 and would kinda fancy either another one, or a 215. Any thoughts? I've noticed a down turn in the trend for heavy things. So, thought i'd take advantage of it. I'm currently only jamming with friends after a stint in a band that were doing well. We're just concerned about having fun and making noise, so I realise my thoughts my not be practical or sensible, but meh. Anyway, if anyone could provide some insight into this line of things that'd be cool. Cheers Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I'd get a second 400+ then you'd have a backup. I wish I had enough energy to own Mesa Boogie again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegarcia Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Mr Foxen has a Strategy he may be prepared to part with seeing as he never uses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheButler Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 I've noticed that both are pretty easy to find, so that isn't a problem. I did notice Foxen's one, but I'm not in the position to buy it right now. I need to decide what I want, and then save Its the only way I can feign the GAS and also not be a complete geardo, and really piss off SWMBO.

LukeFRC Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 think you should buy my amp! .... seriously... why two the same? something different? hook them up in a bass equivalent to nick zinner's rig (yeah yeah yeahs) or something different would let you play with a second type of amps... not all your GAS eggs in the same basket so to speak!

LukeFRC Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 i was about to say something about how heavy the 400+ is, then realised i knew very little about it and went had a look.... not as heavy as i thought! still think my head would be a better second rig head!

The morality, amongst other things, kinda breaks the analogy down somewhat. Not to mention there are really no equal grounds; enjoyment, etc etc. So, yes, I should think another 400+ would be just dandy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 You need 2 cabs to run a Strategy full tilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what exactly to do yet :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
