I am not excane Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi all, Just received my new Mesa Carbine M9 and damn....WOW does this amp deliver (as does all my Mesa gear I've owned) Quick question about the bass control.... Is there any reason why the bass knob does NOT have a center detent like the mid and treble knobs have? I know the mid is passive, but the bass and treble are active. Could it have something to do with the bass being a push/pull knob for "deep"? Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been a fan of Mesa gear for a while, I have owned the M2000, 400+ with powerhouse cabs and now the carbine. I have to say the tone and power of this amp is immense, god knows what the M9 must be like. Cheers Thebassman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by "push" at 1 o'clock? Push as in pushing the gain? Could you see if you have the same thing with the bass control as I do? I know the bass control on yours is also a push/pull, but do the mid and treble controls have center detents so you know where the mid (flat) position is? Anyway, I actually called Mesa yesterday and they told me the bass pot does NOT have a center detent since the pot is a push/pull. (glad to know it's intentional and not a screw up with my amp, but that never happens with Mesa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have a check on the other pots when I get home from work. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
