bassmayhem Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 First a big box arrived after a long wait. I ordered it in October from a Swedish shop. I could have got it faster overseas, but I really wanted the 5 year warranty from the Swedish shop. I know Mesa had some issues previous with their gear... Under some supervision - kind of - from the Very Hairy King of the Basement I unpacked the amp... Then stacked upon the Genzler BA12-3 cabs for a test... /2krE48y]2021-01-12 - MESA 1[/url] by Roger Hedin, on Flickr Well, it sounded as I could expect. Not at all like my Spartan or Genzler amp, but more like a tube amp. It takes some tweaking to get things right, not just set and forget. I like it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has another charachter than the amps I am used to. Took some eq:ing to get the tone that is "me". Mostly I go flat, but not on this baby...

bassmayhem Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) This is really another creature than those amps I am used to use... Mostly, when using an amp, I just plug and play. With this one I have to tweak, tweak, tweak. Maybe an imaginary thing, but I feel it sounds different from time to time... 🤔 Edited January 16, 2021 by bassmayhem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassmayhem Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 A friend described the tone in this amp with one word: "clanky"! It is, kind of, compared to my Spartan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Interesting phrase. Are you disappointed with it? I found it took me a time to get to grips with the 400 eq when I first got it. Take some time to see how it all works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to the DVD Rush in Rio tonight, and the tone Geddy has is kind of clanky too, just way sharper... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmayhem Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Well, now I've tamed the beast. It really sounds nice. Another nice. But nice. I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
