  1. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='129051' date='Jan 28 2008, 06:44 AM']My dig is directed at the importer, really.

    I don't care if it's built on the moon by the royal family... I ain't paying Sixteen hundred quid for an MPulse.

    Someone somewhere is having a laugh, I think.[/quote]

    Agreed, they have obviously spent years cultivating the falacy that Mesa=Boutique. They're good solid amps but in the states they're just as cheap as Marshalls are to us - I can't think of any other US brand that gets such huge mark ups as a result of crossing the atlantic.

  2. This is quite a recent purchase but I've picked up a lower powered 400rb as I decided that the 700 was overkill for a backup amp. It's pretty much mint condition, boxed with manual. I bought it used off another forumite who had it new from the US and converted the voltage (simple transformer tap job) to 240v.

    £300 posted ono. PM me if you need pics and I'll get the camera out this evening.

  3. If you blew one up (and end up using any other similar ported cab in future), I'd seriously suggest cutting the bass - with the 810 the bass is limited by the nature of the cab design (i.e. sealed) and speakers will require far more power to get them past their 'normal' excursion. With a ported cab you can't just whack a load of bass through from a valve amp in the same way as you might with an Ampeg 810 without doing damage (you probably noticed the speakers jumping around). So in summary, just exercise a little caution until you get the Berg which will be able to handle it!

  4. Nice price. I think it's fair to say that some of that price is to do with being within the EU so no shipping and import duty costs at the same penalty as the US manufacturers. Or it's a loss leader for the £4000 matching cab :)

  5. Fantastic little midi controller that is ideal for patch/parameter changes if you are using rack effects but don't want a huge midi board. See [url="http://www.axess-electronics.com/sc/MFC5-MIDI-Footcontroller-p-16137.html"]http://www.axess-electronics.com/sc/MFC5-M...er-p-16137.html[/url] for details. It's in reasonable condition (a few scratches from gigging etc) but this is built to last a lifetime.
