Mesa Boogie Walkabout Head-value?

[casapete]

Anybody got any idea what one of these is worth second hand, in good/excellent condition?
Cheers.

For the more recent ones with the switchable input and effects sockets bypass switch I would say £550 to £600. That should get you a silver/black face model or the latest (I think?) black face.

These amps are a dream too, if you're thinking of buying.

You don't see many of them about, especially just the head. I would say about £500 - £700 for the head, and a few hundred more for the combo verson

Try Doghouse on the forum, he may be interested.

Thanks for your thoughts guys. The amp in question is a silver face, probably a 2006 model I believe.
Cheers.

I snagged a nearly new one on US ebay for a mere £350 shipped a couple of years back. The main drawback is - you've guessed it it - I have to lug around a mains transformer at least as heavy as the amp itself Bad move......

Superb little amps though; I liked it so much I bought the biggest brother - Mesa Titan V12 Big Block (UK voltage this time!) But it's still the Walkabout that gets gigged most . Changing the original Russian Mesa pre valves for Harma cryo ones made a definite improvement in tone and silent running

If you're selling (and not selling this very minute!) I'd be VERY interested...

The walkabout is on my list of wanting to try. Im not sure if that would mean I would I like it, I picked up my numb
er one GAS amp last week and am not gelling with it 100 percent

That's the problem with GAS: it often bears little relation to reality. I was the same with the Walkabout head: wanted one desperately, finally got one, I think it went back to the seller (WoT IIRC) the following week in a mutually beneficial regret-based transaction. He loves it and missed it, I thought it was a bit 'meh' and couldn't see what all the fuss was about.

That's not to single the Walkabout head out particularly, tho: I can't say I haven't done the same thing with umpteen amps, cabs and basses.

I bought a walkabout new and its a great amp, huge bottom end and the parametric eq is cool. The top is smooth and overall a great organic sound with a DI for recording.
Need to find a band soon or its on the chopping block like my Berg.
