fretmeister Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Just spotted this http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_amps_detail.asp?stock=14060310521158 Not heard one myself but the reviews seem very favourable. Lots of money off the RRP. They've got 2 of them - an ex-demo and an end-of-line. Anyone on here use one? I'd quite like a combo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Wow... that's a bargain! If I was half-man half-machine I would buy that in an instant. As it stands, my back would wave the white flag after twelve seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Having spent quite a while thinking about bass amp / cab upgrade options, I'm bowled over by the value of this offer: a 2x12 combo with a M6 Carbine head for quite a bit less than the price of the Mesa head alone!! It looks great and is not much more than a Markbass 102P combo. Whilst that is no doubt a great piece of kit, it is surely not in the Mesa's league? The reviews I've come across from other Mesa owners seem to be hugely positive. Given its weight and power it would, however, seem more suited to medium / large venues, rather than lugging round to smaller gigs? So having a second lightweight option for such occasions would probably make sense, unless weight-lifting was also a hobby? But I guess a Class D head, to DI, could be funded from the discount on offer here and still leave a few quid to spare, plus the value of a huge smile every time you plugged your bass into such a cool Mesa amp?

fretmeister Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 i was tempted... but the damn thing weighs 80lb My current cab is 28lb and I use a little Genz head with it. And I bitch about that when I have to lift it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Just came across this on YouTube - puts it across far better than I can; and I LOVE the tone he's getting out of the amp.
