Members skatalite Posted October 30, 2007 Members Posted October 30, 2007 Some of ya'll knew I was selling stuff to fund the purchase of a tube head. Well, the things have been sold and the deal for the head has been sealed! Shipped today, should be here by Monday at the latest! It's used, but it's been kept in a roadcase in a studio, and was recently retubed with some Sovteks in the power section, and Mesas in the preamp section. Without further ado... The Mesa Boogie Bass 400+ I know it'll take some time to find the settings I like, but God-willing I'll have the puppy ready to go for a Nov. 9 show.
Members rummy Posted October 30, 2007 Members Posted October 30, 2007 That's a beast! Love it! Congrats!!! :thu:
Moderators Kindness Posted October 30, 2007 Moderators Posted October 30, 2007 I know it'll take some time to find the settings I like... Yeah, like 2 minutes.
Members Optimus Prime Posted October 30, 2007 Members Posted October 30, 2007 I want a 600 watt M-Pulse so bad.
Members mike fitzwell Posted October 30, 2007 Members Posted October 30, 2007 Nice! Welcome to the world of tubes. It's delicious.
Members Renfield Posted October 30, 2007 Members Posted October 30, 2007 Yeah, like 2 minutes. IF that.
Members RSBro Posted October 30, 2007 Members Posted October 30, 2007 Only tube amp I'd buy, arguably. Nice.
Members Augment Posted October 30, 2007 Members Posted October 30, 2007 You're going to love it more than you even probably realize. As said, it doesn't take very long to find a good setting. With a little time you'll get a better sound out of it once you realize how well the controls act with each other. I also suggest removing any fragile items from the walls / shelves before giving it a spin. I constantly knock down half the house every band practice. It's THAT loud. After setting my Master Volume at about 5/6, I've never had any need to turn it up past 3 - 3 1/2 in any situation (well, other than for the hell of it). I need to bring mine in for service though. I've had it for about 6 years and it just needs some general maintenience.
Members willsellout Posted October 30, 2007 Members Posted October 30, 2007 Yeah, like 2 minutes. That's what I was going to say. I love the 400+ Dan
Members Poltergeist Posted October 30, 2007 Members Posted October 30, 2007 some time? ahah... what you cannot do is get a BAD sound out of Mesa head i love those heads... how much did you pay for it?
Members guitargod0dmw Posted October 30, 2007 Members Posted October 30, 2007 {censored}ing Awesome!!!
Members t3ch Posted October 30, 2007 Members Posted October 30, 2007 How much did that set you back? I want an all tube head one of these days.
Members skatalite Posted October 30, 2007 Author Members Posted October 30, 2007 How much did that set you back? I want an all tube head one of these days. It set me back $900, though I made enough from selling three pieces of gear to get it. That's the price delivered. So, minus about $70 for materials, having the shipping company fax it and the actual cost in the rack with the power conditioner, I'd say I did very well for myself.
