Two old school tone monsters! Both are in fine shape, very low mileage. I have had these two since the late 90s, rarely used for the last 10yrs. Nowadays I mainly play Marshalls. For those who do not know, the d180 is the same basic head as in the Buster Bass. Per Mesa owners manual, this was truly a bass and guitar amp with a very very conservative 185-200 of MESA WATTS. That is to say, about the volume of double the Marshall watts, for this, as well as the 295, which is rated at two channels of 95w each. Both are in excellent shape, with minor rack rash, but no real scratches or dents to speak of. I can send pics if you email me at slawrence@kraunonline.net. I am looking for 600 for the d180 and 700 for the 295. Both have very strong all mesa tubes, again, low mileage and are in excellent shape, plug in and play!. I used to run these into a pair of peavy 412, with the d180 to one, and preamp out to the 295 which ran the other cab. This rig would shake Texas Stadium with that setup, around 400watts of PURE TUBE MESA POWER. I ran this rig as a guitar wall of sound killer, but of course the d180 is an unbelievable bass amp as well. Basically, this was a Mesa 400 with a cascading tube, rather than transistor preamp. It was generally considered an Ampeg killer, as most ampeg afficianados would sell their ampegs after they plugged into these. One note, this is the one with the 6 slot eq on the front, making it even rarer and more versatile. Not all had the eq. Only around 800 of the d180s were made. Google them for an eye opening surprise on how well these were received.

Email me with your questions slawrence@kraunonlnie.net or you may call Steve at 785 248 8686. Any sales can be made via ebay as well, but I hate their cut, which seems excessive. I have 304 feedback there, with 100% satisfaction, no negatives, user id steve_lawrence78u84. Buyer to pay actual shipping costs on shipper of their choice, from central Kansas, 67425, likely 50+, as these bad boys are heavy.

Thanks

Steve
