Members Cliff Fiscal Posted September 14, 2008 Members Share Posted September 14, 2008 I found one for sale locally, and I'm wondering if it's any good?What's a good price..... I have a 4x10 yorkville cab and a Peavey T-40. I also use a Mesa bottlerocket and russian big muff for dirt.Mostly play rock music....from alternative to heavy.....but I also like funk and R&B.

Members james on bass Posted September 14, 2008 Members Share Posted September 14, 2008 Can't help you on a good price, but they are a really good amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have one and love it. Changed the preamp tube to a GT ECC83S for a little warmth in the low end. How is the Mesa pedal on bass? Been looking at tube driven OD's lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mesa BR is perfect for bass......too much low end girth for regular guitar. I had been using it as a preamp before the DI box for recording direct. Here's a clip......I'm play both guitar and bass......kinda sloppy, but you get the jist....http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=777229&songID=6612605 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to use it as a tube distortion box though, sounds a little on the clean side there for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using it to jam with a drummer lately....and it can get fairly dirty....especially set up with (2) 12AX7s. I wouldn't call it as gainy as a Big Muff. Kinda that Ampeg crunchy driving tone. Overall, I've very happy with it used with bass......not so much used with electric guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck yeah I'd say that's a good deal. If that's what they go for, never selling mine then. It's worth way more than that to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
