Mesa Eight 88 Bass Amp - more pics added

An absolute behemoth of a bass head and pretty rare on the market these days. Picked it up off here off @Bunion and it’s an absolute beast. Huge range of sound and power options, it’s just a killer head. Also not stupidly heavy. I have no real need for it atm, I’ve 4 SVT’s and a Hiwatt so I’m pretty covered in the tube amp department. Comes with a lovely Mesa cover too.

I actually gigged it last night with the Barefaced 610 and it was lovely.

 

U. K. courier postage is possible but collection most welcome. I’d rather that tbh.
 

** any other amps or cabs in the pics are obviously not included **

Another classic head that maketh me green with envy! 🤣 It might be better in the amps for sale section though?

How did that happen! Mods can you swap it please

It's like the Ark of the Covenant and The Holy Grail in one. It's like an Audi Sport Quattro and an F40. Absolute alpha apex predator amongst all big heads. 😍

This used to be mine, bought it brand new from GuitarGuitar during a ridiculous sale they had a couple of years ago. It's a monster... Nearly bought it back from Bunion a few weeks back but it wasn't quite the right timing. Wish I did given the 'circumstances' of the discussed sale!

@Beedster breathe easy, bro. I've got too many moving pieces with the house and stuff right now but if it's still here in April...

 

Go on, you know you want to and I am a firm believer that these things need owners that have that Mesa vibe and you do 😉

To, all those Basschatters that still have two kidneys (a small audience, I know), I have an extensive list of contacts that might (or might not) be able to help you acquire this Fabergé egg of an amp 😉

I thought she may have found a new home by now. Just in case anyone wants it, I’m down at The Guitar & Bass show next weekend in Birmingham so can bring it down 👌
