PX for a Walkabout or similar is still of course an option Clarky, your new Precision would love this rig mate. That Walkabout must be really underpowered in that noisy punk outfit of yours.......

Le Chat Noir Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Sorry dude, I simply can't scrape the money together, not much interest in my Ashdown, so I'm going to pull out of the race for now If it's still for sale in more prosperous times I'll still be interested! On a side note, the price difference new for these in Europe vs the US is criminal! They sell new in the US for $1,699 in most shops, which is just over a grand in pounds... whilst the only European dealer I could find is Thomann at 2366 euros, or 2136 quid Mesa always seems to double its prices for the UK and Europe, but I guess Americans suffer the opposite with Marshall, Orange etc!

I would like to think that part of the price difference is the cost of moving what are bloody heavy amps around the world, and then when you add import duties etc it kinda makes sense. However, as you point out, it seems to ne particularly extreme with Mesa compared to other manufacturers.

Beedster Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 I've had a lot of interest in this but no firm offers. If I trade it will need to be to something versatile (e.g., head and cab(s) offering a range of power/impedance options), or PX for a relatively powerful combo (300w) that will fill my larger gig needs for the time being. I like 1x15s and 1x12s, not really interested in anything larger (e.g., 4x10). Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd1 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hi Chris, shame this amp has not worked out for you, as you have said it really is a fantastic bit of kit. Sound wise it is very,very loud but not in a hard sounding sort of way. Very versatile with most things controllable via the foot switch. Combo has really not been used very much and is in like new condition. Hope you find a deal Ta very glad Dale (BIGd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Having now started looking into getting something a little less powerful and a little more retro (see post above), I'm quite keen to shift this. I've had a lot of PM interest in this but no firm cash offers, and the trade/PX options haven't quite worked out, so I'll probably put it on ebay at around £1200 at the end of the week. So, anyone out there looking to get their hands on a nice piece of Califormian uber-tone technology, get in touch quick (and take a look at the link in the post above re PX) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 [quote name='Beedster' post='710650' date='Jan 12 2010, 09:49 PM']It's the 4ohm version so produces 600w through the combo alone. It's monstrously loud, seriously, the sort of loud that scares people. It scared me the first time I got it angry. I've been told that the head can run down to 2ohms with an extension cab but I doubt I'd want to run the risk and, given the volume it kicks out as is, I can't imagine a situation in which you'd need to.[/quote] To clarify, it does go to 2ohms, although I'm not sure how much power it would produce at that impedance (guessing around 1000w) C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
