Alfie Noakes Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Mesa Boogie Walkabout combo, 300 watts, 4 ohms, and working perfectly. Thunderous tone, probably the best combo in the world, some say. Complete with Mesa cover. Switching to IEMs, so it’s up for sale. No trades please, and collection preferred - it’s not the right shape for a jiffy bag and a stamp. Happy for a half way meet within reason - I live in the Worcester / Birmingham area. I also have the matching extension cab (again, 300 watts and 4 ohms, with Mesa cover) that I may be persuaded to part with. Edited October 18, 2018 by Alfie Noakes 1
Beedster Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I reckon this'll be gone within an hour or two 1
Creeper Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I said it about the last one that came up for sale and I will say it about this one, awesome combo and yes, one of the best ones out there.
itsmedunc Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I was hoping that this had sold. I don't need it but it has been on my 'wanted' list for a long while! GLWTS. 1

You're making Beedster look bad with his prediction of a 2 hour sale....Not my favourite Mesa but I know that others regard these very highly. Edited October 8, 2018 by TheGreek 1
Beedster Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Well I was clearly wrong! Yes, highly regarded, and great tone and flexibility for a combo. Add the extension cab to it and you probably wouldn't need anything else until you get up to stadiums (I played a few outdoor gigs with just the combo and it held its own without PS support). Almost tempted to go for it myself - to my mind the 12" is a better version than the 15" - but it's just a bit too far to travel
Alfie Noakes Posted October 8, 2018 Author Posted October 8, 2018 Where are you based, Beedster? I get out and about on business, occasionally.
silverfoxnik Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 This thread is very entertaining to follow... Could this be yet another piece of fabulous Boogie bass gear that's going to end up in the Canterbury 'Bass Tardis that is Beedster Towers..😁 1

I would love this but am going to keep the old impulses at bay just this once 1
Beedster Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Very surprised it's still here though, they're fewer and farer between as people who've got them realise they're simply too good to let go, especially given that few (if any) other bass amp manufacturers have managed to get anywhere close to this level of power and quality in a decently sized combo 1
HazBeen Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Agreed the Walkabout 12 is great, have also owned both 12 and 15 and slightly preferred the 12 as it cut better.
Steve Browning Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) This is a major bargain for an awesome amp. Edited October 12, 2018 by Steve Browning
silverfoxnik Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Can't quite believe that this is still here... So have a BUMP on me and GLWTS! 😊

Both posts agree that the model for sale in this thread (12") is the preferable of the two models Steve? Still very tempted by this

Deedee Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Forgive my ignorance, but what are these heads rated at? (No sniggering at the back) 🤪
Alfie Noakes Posted October 13, 2018 Author Posted October 13, 2018 Thanks for the comments chaps. Canterbury is sadly a long shot, Beedster. Deedee, the heads kick out 300 watts. Very loud watts, as it happens. Far louder than other watts, IMHO. 1 1

Still very tempted by this Go for it. I went to a music shop this week to try out a fender, a custom shop, a new ray and a sandberg, tried through both a amped svt and the new orange terror bass - regardless of the basses I came away thinking that my Mesa walkabout was in another league compared to them, for clean punchy power and heft even... 6 hours ago, Alfie Noakes said: Thanks for the comments chaps.

On the bench with the Mesa recommended tech I was using mine was actually putting out around 400w apparently ...
