Monz Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Ok since visiting Tayste and playing one of his old Simms Watts I have realised the sound I am striving for comes from old 60's/70's basic valve amps and a big 4x10 which I now have in my arsenal so the Mesa is going to feel unused... Below is the bumf from the guy I bought it from Mesa Boogie Buster Bass 200 combo in excellent condition. It's the 2x10 'wedge' version. 200W all valve. Now discontinued & very hard to get hold of. specs: 200 Watts, All Tube, Class A/B Power / 6x6L6-427, 3x12AX7 EVM Basis Speakers Assignable 7 Band Graphic EQ Parallel FX Loop w/Mix Level Control 600 Ohm XLR Balanced Out Silent Record Mute Switch Tone Luggage™ Transport System (clever slide out handle & wheels system) Recent revalve by previous owner and gigged three times since then never higher than 40% volume... make no mistake this is a very loud combo Here are the piccies from the previous owner too... I'm sure he wont mind [attachment=28013:buster.jpg] [attachment=28014:buster_rear.jpg] [attachment=28015:buster_handle.jpg] And now the important bit £725 ovno Thanks for looking Edited July 1, 2009 by Monz
tayste_2000 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I've played this and it is literally 1/2 a 400+ and since I don't put my 400+ over 3 then this is easily loud enough for all your needs It's killer loud and punchy and through my 4x10 sound exactly the same as the 400+ Stunning amp, if I wasn't poor as $%&* I'd have this in a second.
Geddys nose Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Oh Lovely and make a lot of sense being a combo.
tayste_2000 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Also I can carry this on my own, it's heavy but not horrible and it does have wheels and a dolly built in. Seriously reconsidering this Monz
mike257 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I'm imagining how this would sound through my 610 and I've come over all peculiar. Yummy. Time to sell a kidney, I think.
Bigwan Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 God I wish I was closer. I'd have this off you in a shot! Shipping would be stupid money me thinks...

tayste_2000 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 It's the versatility you know with what we discussed Jeff could make for it. Thinking what I could sell as well that this would replace, just keep me up to date with peoples interest and I'll see what I can do

I shoulda gone to specsavers

Good luck with the sale.
