Thanks - very kind offer Tayste - appreciate it You'll have more experience that I with other tube amps, as this is the only one I've owned Same offer for anyone closer to me. Come and try the actual amp if you're interested Edit - also if anyone wants to bring any kit to test the tubes they're more than welcome (I haven't a clue how this would work)

[quote name='misrule' post='598990' date='Sep 15 2009, 10:03 AM']Do you know when it was last re-valved? And when was it first sold? (I guess the receipt will tell you that).[/quote] It was originally bought in April 2007 from the Bass Centre for £1,639. I am not sure whether it has been revalved since, but then it hasn't been used a lot. I have only changed one valve which is the drive pre-amp to a Mullard 12AT7 [quote name='cocco' post='599090' date='Sep 15 2009, 11:46 AM']hey man, just wondering what th impedance on this bad boy is and wether its jack or speakon outputs?[/quote] [quote name='tayste_2000' post='599102' date='Sep 15 2009, 11:58 AM']The 400+'s as far as I'm aware are all jack out puts and put according to Mesa 500w into 8ohms, 4ohms or 2ohms This is the loudest head I've ever come across, there isn't anything that touches this currently available in the tube world[/quote] As Tayste says...all jacks and same output whether 8, 4 or 2 ohms - and yes, it's loud [quote name='Anders' post='599486' date='Sep 15 2009, 06:32 PM']I'm just curious. How does this one sound compared to the Mesa/Boogie Bass400? Except beeing louder that is. I tried the bass400 and it sounded almost exactly like Mesa/Boogie Buster200.I have never tried the 400+ but i have read somewhere that it sounds more warm and fat.Is that true?[/quote] I haven't tried the 400 (non-plus) but can confirm that it can do warm and fat (but still retains more definition than some other tube amps IMHO) Thanks also for the kind words

Well, I'm getting close to 40 and my back is telling me I no longer need my lovely Mesa 400+ (that said, if you're after an all-valve amp it's one of the lighter ones) I am the third owner of the amp (still have the original receipt) and it appears that it has been very well cared for. Very slight scratch in the paint on the right hand handle is just about visible in the pics, but otherwise it's in excellent condition. Needless to say it sounds lush :wub: and they have been discontinued fairly recently so you can't get them new I have changed the drive valve for a Mullard ECC81 which adds to the smooth valvey tone and makes the EQ much more responsive. However, I can include the original drive valve should someone want to change back. To save you google-ing them here's some [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Bass+Amp/product/Mesa%2FBoogie/Bass+400%2B/10/1"]Mesa 400+ reviews[/url] Priced to sell at £850 (no offers thanks) including the Boschma 6U rack case Hopefully the guys on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59259"]this Basschat thread[/url] don't mind me linking to let on about the secret that is Boschma rack cases I'm based near Guildford in Surrey if anyone is interested and wants to try it out Cheers Stu P.S. I have relisted this without the Lexicon MX300 and I'd messed up [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59024"]the original ad[/url] with too much confusing stuff Decided it was better to start again!

Thanks Alan - they are real nice cabs but fancy a change Sure you can't be tempted?

Bumpage for reduced price Come on folks bargain for a high quality bit of gear

[b]EDIT - In a fit of insanity decided to lop another £50 off the price to make way for incoming Now just £325 for an insanely good cab Loopy deal that should make someone very happy Possibly consider trades for good quality acoustic or electro-acoustic guitar / Nikon SLR camera lenses [/b] GAS has prompted me to decide to sell my Dr Bass 1580 cab (pic and specs below) Great cab with 15" and 8" speakers and a tweeter, with adjustable mids and tweeter via dials on the side of the cab to get a range of sounds from the deep warm bass sound to a more mid-range and zing (I opt for the former rather than the latter, but then I'm not a slapper or a rock god ) It has a really tough coating which makes it really easy to look after - as a result it's in excellent condition and looks new. 450 watts RMS Neo 1x15, 8" mid w/horn 3-way X-over w/ mid and HF level control 40HZ to 20kHZ 102 dB 1W1M 8 ohms 24.25"h x 20.75"w x 17.5"d 52 lbs. Neodymium Looking for [s]£425 ono[/s] reduced to [s]£400[/s] [s]£375[/s] NOW JUST £325 for quick sale Cheers Stu

GAS has also prompted me to decide to also sell my Dr Bass 1580 cab [b]EDIT[/b] - decided to move to separate post as it was getting confusing. See link below: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59860"]Dr Bass 1580 cab for sale[/url]

[quote name='Musicman20' post='588089' date='Sep 2 2009, 10:19 PM']Awesome condition! PS....are you tempted by the Berg 12ERs also?! Me too....[/quote] Thanks - it's in great nick, and yeh, tempted by the Bergs, but also by Alex's Compact and Midget cabs...hhhmmm...
