binky_bass Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 One the 12th day of Christman Santa brought to me, a brand new Mesa Boogie! But then I was so poor I had to set my wife and children freeeeee... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two Fender heads which share a similar power section to the M6 (and each other) and getting an M6 would be an embarrassment of riches...oh yeah and I'm running out of room! Would you go for the M6 over the M9? @dave_bass5a brand new rack mounted Mesa M6 for £700. It could just be Xmas... 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not had anything come close to the M6 yet. Often gets compared to class AB royalty in the shape of the Aguilar DB751, and for good reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 M6 as I think it’s just great as is. The graphic eq on the 9 would be nice but the 6 is a lot of amp. I have had both mine hooked up today and the 800 pro is such a good tweakable amp. I’ve been dialling it in to suit the jazz bolstering the lo mids bumping a little mids where the natural scoop is, bit of tone hammer to give some grit/edge. I couldn’t justify an m6 even at the bargain price especially when the 800 pro was about 2/3 cheaper. I put the feelers out to sell it locally but it’s going nowhere except to my gig on nye 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the 751 , but always wanted a M9 too - I think it's got the same 'slam', but not so tubey sounding (as per Talkbass stuff) . M9 is roughly a third of the price , and now only the one left - I think there were 3 or 4 the other day . These prices have definitely made a lot of people think . I'm still hovering over the 412 - do I need it? Then I thought that if I sold the 751 , I could justify an M9 , plus the 412 . These are real 3rd world problems , but that page is so bl**dy tempting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can find a way to finance it, I'm buying it tomorrow. @krispn, I hate you... I really do. Why would you do this?? WHY!!!!!! So... Much Gas... 😫 I had a Prodigy for a while. Loved it - but the fan noise was really really annoying. In hindsight perhaps I should have got a tech to install a quieter fan and just kept it!

binky_bass Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Looking to potentially do a part-ex on the Strategy as we speak... still might be a trifle too much cash to outlay right now though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E sharp Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Just hit the button on the 412 Powerhouse - it's Christmas after all . Easier than I thought , getting the OK for it . Was gonna go lightweight again , but this is far cheaper he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive. Plug in, adjust the gain to taste, pick a voice and that's it. You don't really need to anything else. It reminds me of the Ashdown CTM 100 I used to own, the sound is top quality.

However having just taken delivery of my ACG, I think I'll quickly end up divorced if I bought this... almost makes it more tempting to buy! 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedee Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Very tempted by the M6 but then I'd have to sell a couple of old Trace heads to make room and I don't think I could bring myself to do that. 🙁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t my trade my Trace V6 for a Mesa M6. However, I did sell a Trace SMX 300 to buy a Mesa M6, which I then sold to buy a Mesa Big Block 750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
