Pete Middleton Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'm selling this great rig, I don't gig much now on bass anymore so putting the money into my home studio. The Walkabout Scout combo contains the Walkabout 300W head. which is removable. The extension is the 1x12 cab. The combo and the cab (both 8 ohms) have passive bass radiators pointing down, this makes it sound like a much bigger set up, but still tight and punchy - and fat as you like! Another set up option is to use the head (gig bag included) and the extension only. This is light to carry and still very powerful.

Asking price # 1,100 UK Pounds I can arrange delivery at cost, through Hartnoll Guitars Torquay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnacleBob Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Do you know the weight in these? They look pretty substantial but I know some stores list them under their 'lightweight options' section - Looked at the website but could only see the head on its own weighed 13lb Cheers BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hell of a rig at a great price. 8ohm versions seem quite rare also. Good luck with the sale Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 If you'd posted this 8 hours earlier I'd have bought it instead of getting a Demeter pre and power amp. Bum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Middleton Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 The Walkabout combo is quite heavy on it's own, but not super heavy (neodynium light weight magnets) - I used it a lot for gigs with no problem. The extension cab is quite light, so if you take the amp out of the combo (easy 5 minutes with a philips screwdriver - it's meant to be) - put it in the gigbag and off you go no probs with a lightwieght rig. This is a massive sound whichever way you do it - I don't think you would get this much bass power out of anything very much lighter. Put the two together and it's extremely serious! By the way, the manual in original envelope is included. Hartnoll (Torquay Devon UK) said shipping in England would be about 40-45 UK pounds... I will weigh it, and find out exactly on Monday - also take more pics (the condition is excellent throughout) So - there you go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Middleton Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) By the way, I got asked about volume - well it's extremely loud! I should say loud enough for metal easy, it will go very mettalic if you want that, or funk or blues or reggae or anything... it also looks quite surprisingly menacing when stacked up. Plus - if you live in a city you could sell this for 1,400 pounds or more if you are prepared to wait for the right buyer. It would be about 2,350 pounds at least to buy new. The slip covers are like 65 quid each to buy seperately. I'm finishing an album here (The Bat Cave Studio) - need top mastering stuff - hence very good price for quick sale Edited March 20, 2010 by Pete Middleton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Middleton Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 The lightweight option is ditch the combo cab, just use the extension and the amp. Use the lot on a big gig - like i said, if you need power this is it at this weight, it rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Middleton Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 More photos. This combo is about 5 yrs old - I have looked closely there is not much wear apart from one of the back lower corners on the combo is a bit scuffed looking - not something you would see unless you looked specially. The covers look a little better than they do in the pics, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Middleton Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 The scuffed/worn corner, a couple of the other corners arn't perfect, but this is much the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the trouble is being down here in Newton Abbot it's not exactly Vegas, it's the cities where people have the money/work for something like this - and those guys can go out and look at the stuff they might wanna buy - but this guy came down from Cardiff on the train to buy my Warwick Ltd 5 - and seemed delighted - feeling strong? I'll meet you with it at the station cafe - you can take it on the train!

Beedster Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Looks like this whole rig is on its way to Canterbury in the near future. This is going to require some serious moving around of gear (not for the first time let's face it), meaning I'll almost certainly be moving on my Mesa Walkabout head, Bag End S15-D and possibly my Mesa 1516EV, although I'll have to see how the two 12's compare with that before making that particular decision Happy days though, I've always wanted this combination, and nearly went for it a couple of months back. Shame I'll have to let the Bag End go as it's a great cab but GAS, as we all know only too well, is a cruel mistress Clarky, I now you'll be along here sooner or later, the whole parallel universe thing is now complete mate!

warwickhunt Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Is this new rig of yours 300w into the ext cab Chris or is that 300w into the internal 8ohm? Only just happened upon this but I'd have been interested in it and I'm sure the 300w is just a perception thing but I've now gotten used to the headroom that 500w amps give you!

When I need headroom I'll use the M-Pulse 600 head into the same two cabs (or possibly into the 1516). Having used the Walkabout and M-Pulse at gigs recently, I can't ever see a gig at which I'll need the M-Pulse going at full tilt, so I think the cabs are safe!

Clarky Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Congrats Chris, great setup although you will find the combo will be loud enough for small to mid sized venues. But I guess you knew that anyway as you have thw WA head. By the way Norris and Ross McWhirter reckon that not only have you owned more Fenders than any other human being, you are getting there too with Mesa kit!

It's got a bit stupid recently as the band I joined and upgraded to didn't work out so I'm left with gear that's too loud and too big! As you'd expect, there's a new thread in Amps and Cabs For Sale! I was going to buy this when Pete first listed it about 2 months back but I'd just auditioned for the loud band and I had serious concerns as to whether it would keep up. It's probably worked out a little expensive all things considered, but I think I've got there in the end. Am I correct in thinking your combo/extension cab is 4ohm? Does the head run OK at 2?
