medpb Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) : ( Very sad to sell but i dont have any space for it in my new home ! Have owned this from new and was bought from Sound Control in Glasgow many years ago. It's never done a gig and has had very little use at home too ! So in almost new condition with all its original valves ! You could call it a closet classic i guess ! Comes with the EQ footswitch, footswitch cable & instructions. Killer valve bass tone ! Not doing any trades & will need collected ! £950 [attachment=128461:photo (6).JPG] [attachment=128462:photo (7).JPG] Edited April 7, 2013 by medpb
medpb Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 Very sadly I carnt find the instruction book ? But I've added a photo of the EQ switch & original lead for it pb
Noisyjon Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 The manual is available from Mesa Boogie's website as a PDF: [url="http://www.mesaboogie.com/manuals/Buster%20Bass%20200.pdf"]http://www.mesaboogie.com/manuals/Buster%20Bass%20200.pdf[/url] Cheers!
tayste_2000 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Wow, I was just thinking about one of these the other month. Shame I can't afford it at the moment, but these are killer amps and would be my first choice in moving to a valve combo. Good luck with the sale
medpb Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Thank you guys : ) It is an amazing amp ! I'm sure you wouldn't find one in as new condition anywhere ! I remember buying this amp from the guy in sound control I think his name was Paul ? He offered me a vintage 60's precision bass from his personal collection too for next to nothing, I turned him down what a fool, what was I thinking lol. I remember him saying there wasn't too many Buster's imported into the UK ? I just wish I knew where I put the instructions ? Arr well Mesa's web site is great ! Thanks for the advice !
krispn Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Always fancied one of these too. Too rich for my pockets
thumperbob 2002 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 That is the coolest looking combo I have seen for a while.
johnbiffa Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I had the 2x10 version, should never have sold it !
medpb Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 Ill probably end up thinking the same too :-? I'd keep it but space is a premium at home now ! When this goes I have one more little amp I have to sell : ( a SWR Baby Baby Blue combo which is also a great amp !
Beedster Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Now residing at Beedster Towers where it replaces my old Mesa 400+, 1516EV and my Acoustic Image rig. Have to say Paul was a gent to deal with, and the combo is a dream, albeit a slightly larger dream than I'd anticipated for a studio combo! Surprisingly good for electric and acoustic guitar and mandolin also. Hope to be reying it out on DB as soon as my old Rumanian makes it up here from Kent. Many thanks Paul, enjoy your upcoming tour Chris
tayste_2000 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Let me know if it doesn't work out, was very tempted but to busy sorting out my insurance claim on all my Matamp gear
Beedster Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Hey Steve, will do. Not liking the sound of a claim on all of your gear, hope all's working out? Re the Buster, I sincerely hope it's staying, the only thing that would make me part with it would be a smaller all tube 1x15 or 1x12 combo with similar tone; the Buster really sings, but it is huge, in fact size-wise it's not far off my 1516, which is not great given that I'm selling the 1516 to try and make more space! Chris
tayste_2000 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Haha, time for a vintage Ampeg B-12 or B-15 (which is my plan next year) then
thumperbob 2002 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 I would have had this but just seemed a little heavy for me. I have a fender tv 15 that has the same vibe but a lot lighter. And a hartke hydrove rig.
Beedster Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Yep, a B15 is on my 'one day' list, although I doubt it'll sound any better than the Mesa, to my ear at least. Bob, agreed, the Mesa's heavy, but that's not really an issue, jt's just huge for a single speaker combo! Love it though : )
