Mesa Boogie Road Ready 215. I Bought it from the Mission who in turn bought it from John Henry’s and according to them it was part of Fleas European touring stock. 
800 watts, 4 ohms, mono and 2 x 8 ohms biamp inputs. Unbelievably loud, incredibly clean, room filling bass with plenty of full range too. 
Built into its own flightcase with removable front panel. 
When I bought it I had the input panel and handles blasted and powder coated. 
I love it and travelled to Wales to collect however, the project I bought it for is coming to an end and i really don’t need any more rigs 😞

£300 collected from Byker Or could meet halfway if it wasn’t a ridiculous journey. 61D20111-166C-4DAE-956C-1C78EEF3A39B.thumb.jpeg.3c41ca1b20326de3fc18564dae43fe9f.jpeg508B3B40-7A26-4015-AD28-B4D43C6CC831.thumb.jpeg.d5c180093029743a7df2d6ae8674dbb7.jpegD0CDAC62-5759-419E-9E41-F7D2579E5BD5.thumb.jpeg.6e05fa87b1ae0e2bcbdacf2f1236bad4.jpeg38663C55-01F1-4145-B92D-2A3BE24BCE9A.thumb.jpeg.a32fd3f35fb69c24a607b170300bf400.jpegC1E6D022-3AC5-49FE-895F-7650D5F83D31.thumb.jpeg.2b6e512773772d640b9c25ae1223b999.jpeg2CC76CBC-9509-4F27-9E0E-EDA5DBC0F181.thumb.jpeg.ae969a2360c4fde8c86a7198242ec479.jpegF02EA394-A497-40DA-8841-CF70E7CDA756.thumb.jpeg.6cc2e8e63048dda2b44fe4d82d7aba38.jpeg

Awesome cab, I used one for years, and still use a 1x15 RR.   Heavy, but awesomely clean, tight and powerful, and tough enough to withstand a full on nuclear blast.   The pros used them for a reason!   GLWTS 👍

I had a pair of these in diesel trim. This cabinet is the very best bass guitar cabinet you can buy (IMHO). Don't imagine it's a one trick pony, by any means.

To echo the others, I had the Diesel 2x15" version (not flight-cased!) and gigged it for years.

What a thing of beauty they are. GLWTS 

 

This is a Diesel by the way, just that it’s the Road Ready version.   The EV drivers in these are sublimely good.

if i was in a touring band with roadies & a big van, thats the cab right there!

But I'm 59 with hernia's & a barefaced vintage 2x15 so,

GLWTS 😉

 

Just to say this cab should have slots on the bottom corners for removable castors (see pic of my 1x15) which makes it a cinch to move the cab around (except on stairs of course!).  Amazed this is still here.....

Best cab I ever used.... and I used one for 10 years. Full range, punchy and those beautiful EV speakers handle all from superclear to full on grind with ease....

 

A bargain! GLWTS!

 

 

A mate of mine once plugged his 335 into my Bass 400 and diesel 2x15. Best guitar sound ever. There's no lack of top end with those speakers.

I once plugged an amp into a big Boogie cab and a Warwick 6 x 10. I know that new drivers have more this and that than older drivers. But big boxes make the air wobble.

trouser flapping loudness should be a bass cab measurement. :laugh1:

Do you know what the manufacturer of the castors is? It has the plates but no castors. 
Thanks

Hmmmm....all I can think of is:

1. Try contacting Mesa, as I think they’re unique to their cabs, Mesa may have kept them on later ranges? (long shot!)

2.  Take some off a knackered Diesel cab if you can find one, as all the bigger cabs had them - they’re on my 1516 Diesel cab as well. (Also a long shot!)

3.  The castors are just on flat metal plates that slide into the slots on the cab base, so maybe a local machining firm could custom make a set?

4. Ignore the built-in slots, make a simple strong plywood dolly board with castors, which the cab can be placed on for transport.   I’ve a Trace 1x15 that the previous owner did this for (pic) which is permanently fixed to the base of the cab but could be detached if needed - makes it so easy to move the entire rig around 👍

That's the same castors i got with my Mesa PH212 bought new few yrs back. They are def Mesa's own castors. Press a button somewhere and they unlock and slide out if i remember right.

Yep, they weigh a bloody ton as well :(
