The Mesa Subway D800 is a rare amp, made in the USA and capable of 800 watts into 4 or 2 ohms (you select 2 ohms via a switch). It has all the power you need, is lightweight and capable of some lovey sounds via the voicing control. The EQ frequencies are just right and The Deep switch is more usable than on any amp I have used, so why am I selling? I need some money and this will bring in more than my other amps. It comes complete with the flight case shown, as well as a power cable and speakON lead. This amp is £1100 new. What else can I say? The switches and pots all have a feel of quality, and you can see at a glance whether you are muted, have DEEP selected or have selected the active/passive option by the LEDs above the switches. I bought this some months ago from a fellow bass chatter, and I am selling at the price he asked of me. If you would like any more pictures of have any questions, please let me know. Collection preferred, but I expect postage and packing to be about £15. I will charge P&P at cost price. Mesa say of the D800: PURE MESA BLOODLINE COMPACT POWER - At only 5.5 lbs (2.5Kg)., a little over 3 inches tall and 10 inches wide the Subway delivers 800 Watts of power to command any venue from a small club to a large concert stage, yet fits in the pocket of your gig bag! Built around a combination of signature circuits ranging from our classic tube models like the vintage Bass 400+™ and more recent Bass Strategy™ 8:88™, to the MOSFET powered accuracy and mid-focused definition of the Big Block™ 750 and M9 Carbine™ the new SUBWAY D-800 embodies the best qualities from the entire MESA Bass lineage and unveils a unique new voice all its own. CONTROL OVER POWER MUTE AND ACTIVE/PASSIVE switch allows you to tailor the input headroom to your instrument. The MUTE switch silences the signal from the INPUT jack to the SPEAKER output, HEADPHONE output and DI output for silent tuning. Tone shaping in the SUBWAY D-800 begins with the Front Panel INPUT section, which is comprised of the INPUT jack and two switches; a MUTE and an ACTIVE/PASSIVE switch for tailoring the input headroom to your instrument. The MUTE switch silences the signal from the INPUT jack to the SPEAKER output, HEADPHONE output and DI output for silent tuning. Convenient Indicator LEDs are provided on the right side of the Front Panel for all switched functions. DEEPER STILL Still not enough bottom you say… we listen and obey. For all those who need that extra huge Tone, we’ve included a DEEP switch that further enhances low end and puts an unmistakable sub-low component into the mix. 4-BAND EQ Further Tone shaping is handled by our 4-Band Fixed, Rotary EQ Section comprised of BASS, LOW MID, HIGH MID and TREBLE Controls. While the BASS and TREBLE controls deliver sweet, musically useful regions of low end fundamental and top end clarity, it’s the two powerful overlapping MID Bands that allow pinpoint accuracy when sculpting the important attack region and body of your Tone. LOW MID fills in the higher bottom end and determines fullness and bloom, while the HIGH MID helps you define how your sound tracks with the drums and where you want to sit in the mix. With these four controls as your foundation and the VOICING control as the finishing touch, or even vice versa, any sound you desire is only a quick twist away. FIND YOUR VOICE While VOICE controls have appeared on several MESA Bass designs, here on the SUBWAY D-800, we opted for a continuously variable rendering that allows fine-tuning of your sound from a more “flat” response to a radically scooped midrange sound with the lows and highs boosted. This sweep-able version of the VOICING control allows near infinite shaping and let’s you decide the degree of “sauce” that’s right for your individual Bass and musical style. CONNECTIVITY Pro features are abundant on the D-800 Rear Panel and all of your interfacing needs are provided for here. SPEAKON SPEAKER OUTPUT jacks allow sturdy connection to the enclosure of your choice. An IMPEDANCE switch allows you to optimize the SUBWAY’s mighty output power for a variety of speaker configurations and wiring schemes. Regardless of your impedance requirements, the SUBWAY delivers its authoritative power and great Tone in full measure. PRACTICE PRIVATELY, PLAY PRIVATELY. OUTPUT FOR ALL DIRECT OUTPUT - A standard XLR D.I. OUTPUT provides switching for pre/post routing, mic or line level output and a ground switch to aid in curing ground noise problems when interfacing with other gear. A HEADPHONES OUTPUT is provided so you can enjoy the SUBWAY’s great sound without disturbing others. Further inspiration is available for solo enjoyment by connecting pre-recorded music, a sequencer or a drum machine to the AUX Input and playing to accompaniment while using headphones. A comprehensive DIRECT OUTPUT section is included in the SUBWAY’s platform so you can share your Tone with the world of recording and/or reinforcement and provides a full set of options for your D.I. needs. The standard MALE 3-Pin XLR is controlled via 3 mini toggles that determine both SOURCE (PRE or POST) and LEVEL (MIC or LINE) as well as a PIN 1 LIFT option on the XLR to aid in curing Ground noise problems when interfacing with Consoles of all types.

Oh well..... Up for sale is my recently acquired Markbass combo. I bought this only a few weeks ago and used it for one gig and a couple of rehearsals. Very happy with it, plenty of power as a stand alone without the use of an extension speaker. I did take one but it was not required. It got me thinking about downsizing my amplification but as none of my other Markbass cabs are moving my hand is forced to try to move this on. It's in super condition and comes with the cover. Should my other listed stuff sell, I'll be keeping it. Collection from St Helens Merseyside or possible meet up if not too far. No trades or offers please.

Hi all, Here we have my Fernandes Gravity 5x. Bought last year as a back up to my Warwick, but now being sold as I'm trying to move away from 5s and am looking for a different sound. There's not a lot of info out there about these, as they seem to be quite uncommon. It dates from 2008 and is made in China. Twin single coil pickups with vol, vol, tone. Simple as it gets. Tonally it's got a quite aggressive sound, the twin Jazz pickups are really high output, with a really punchy sound. You'll note the front pickup is moved towards the bridge compared to the usual J/J set ups, definitely gives it a funkier, mid-rangey sound. The tone pot is effective all the way round, giving a wide sweep of different tones (and a really funky rear pickup sound). B-string was the biggest surprise for me on this bass. It's very taught and defined, better than many other basses I've had at 4/5x the price. It's in 9/10 condition. It recently had a brand new input jack installed and plays very cleanly across all frets. A nice first foray into a 5 string for someone, or a great reliable, good sounding backup. Weight is a lovely 3.9 kg. Collection from Moreton in Marsh, which is located on the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border. Will happily meet up within an hour's drive for handover, or a bit further for a small petrol contribution (purely due to the low cost of the bass). Thanks for looking!

Thanks for your comments-yes a truly beautiful looking and sounding bass.

Luxury! Why, when I were a lad ...

with case. Great quality 6 string bass with very friendly neck for those transitioning from 4 or 5 string basses. Sounds excellent too - tuned low B - high C. In excellent condition all round and comes with tags / manual / etc. Located in Exmouth, Devon - viewing / test welcome. I have a box / packaging from a recent 'Bass Bros' purchase so could also post at cost if needed. May consider trade for Japanese or US Precision or a good quality fretless. Specs: Body: Ash & walnut top Neck: wenge/bubinga reinforced with titanium rods Fingerboard: 24-fret Scale: 34″ Pickups: Nordstrand Electronics: Ibanez custom 3‑band EQ with mid‑frequency switch and bypass toggle Bridge: Mono‑rail V (16.5 mm spacing) Hardware: Gotoh tuners, GraphTech Black TUSQ nut, gold hardware

Excellent device, but I don't need two of them. Does exactly what you'd expect. Run out of thing to say.

Mmm, a front and a back...... 🤔
