john longo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi there has anyone out there tried or own the new Mesa Boogie D 800 subway? i cannot find any reviews anywhere or heard or know anyone that has tried one. They do seem a little overpriced for a non vlave head at £750.00, i am also interested in the Gallien Krueger MB 800 which does have great reviews and good clips on you tube. I play rocknroll/rockabilly stand up double bass, and i'm trying to search out which one of these amps would sound better with a stand up bass. I'm thinking about using the head with a good vanderkley speaker or barefaced which all have fantastic reviews, can anyone advise me please thanks very much i look forward to your views cheers players.

Bobthedog Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Have you actually tried looking on You Tube? I have just been looking and there are many many video reviews there of the D 800 Subway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSCOWBASS Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I have an MB800 I use into a BF BB2 and Midget t. I really like the MB800 over other small class D bass amps i've used. My Barefaced cabs are 8 ohms, so worth pointing out the MB800 has 560 watts into 8 ohms compared to 400 from the D800 and also the new Genzler amp. Both new amps look nice on paper and i will be watching the threads over the coming months to see how they compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john longo Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks to Bob the dog and chris B yes i have seen a couple of you tube clips on the subway 800 but i found that the videos didn't do a great deal for me, plus the people who demonstrate the product sell them in there shop's plus mesa boogie themselves. So only one opinion one way i want an honest opionion from someone who try's all sorts of amps they are the best opinons but thanks for your input i will also try talkbass that's one i have not done cheers.
