onehappybunny Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) Well, I'm getting close to 40 and my back is telling me I no longer need my lovely Mesa 400+ (that said, if you're after an all valve amp it's one of the lighter ones) I am the third owner of the amp (still have the original receipt) and it appears that it has been very well cared for. Very slight scratch in the paint on the right hand handle is just about visible, but otherwise it's in excellent condition. Needless to say it sounds lush :wub: and they have recently been discontinued fairly recently so you can't get them new I have changed the drive valve for a Mullard ECC81 which adds to the smooth valvey tone and makes the EQ much more responsive. However, I can include the original drive valve should someone want to change back. Will post some photos over the next day or two but (to save you google-ing them) here's some reviews below: [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Bass+Amp/product/Mesa%2FBoogie/Bass+400%2B/10/1"]Mesa 400+ reviews[/url] [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/Lexicon/MX300/10/1"]Lexicon MX300 reviews[/url] Ideally I'd like to sell it with the Boschma black 6U case and Lexicon MX300 rack effects unit (I've only just bought both... doh!... and they are as new) and would be asking £1,000 for the lot. Appreciate it's a bit of a long-shot selling these all together, so if you are only interested in one or two of these just pm me what you think is a fair offer. In the unlikely event that you have a R500, Shuttle Max, Shuttle 6.0 / 112T combo, Barefaced Compact, or Bergantino 112ER we may be able to agree a partial trade. [b]EDIT[/b] - I have also decided to sell my Dr Bass 1580 cab for £425 ovno (scroll down for details) I'm based near Guildford in Surrey if anyone is interested and wants to try it out Cheers Stu Edited December 16, 2009 by onehappybunny
Geddys nose Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Looks Brand new not many of these around in this condition, The King of Valve Bass Heads IMO.

misrule Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 No, I own it. And it's great Sorry. Cheers Mark

misrule Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 It's been reliable so far -- but it's only done a couple of rehearsals and one gig. The tone is stunning. I've had loads of people tell me how good it sounds, including the drummer in our loud metal band who said: "I can hear the bass at last." Where are you? You can come and try it if you like. Cheers Mark
