    UK buyers only please, as I do not want to deal with issues related to international shipping. Thanks for your understanding!
  2. tvickey
    Aye... still available! Has been sitting unused ever since I created this thread. I just don't need it.

    This head is available for sale again! Prospective buyer picked up something elsewhere over the holidays...
  4. tvickey
    Nice! But man... I already have too many amps and cabs...
  5. tvickey
    Is the EHX Bass Soul Food still available @Phaedrus01? I'm in Sheffield...
  6. tvickey
    The Legacy is now on hold, awaiting payment.

    Thanks for commenting @agedhorse. My tech says that there is a short across the output, and that this should be fine when all is working correctly. However, with the fault he observed there is a different outcome: No output, and valves still running and becoming red hot. He's an official Mesa tech in the UK and says his contact at the Mesa factory is Kris Dilbeck.

    My Mesa tech in the UK text-messaged me regarding some major issues he's encountered recently (basically no support from Mesa). He says his long-time official contact, Francesco Longi, left the company a short while ago. My tech needs some support regarding one of my Mesa Strategy 888s that developed an issue. Any suggestions on who he might be able to contact at Mesa @agedhorse? It seems that a relay failed in my amp (relay contacts stuck together, likely due to a faulty transistor) and the speaker output is now muted. Sadly the issue also resulted in a blown set of power tubes, which were almost new. Not nice.

    Enjoy it! There is a really nice full demo video here:

    Sure, I could probably do that but really depends on where the amp needs to go. Would have to be UK only.

    Great compressor! I use one of these... GLWTS!

    I've always wanted to try one of these... maybe if my Legacy 800 sells I do really enjoy a tube preamp, and love my GK MB Fusion. GLWTS!

    Thanks for your interest, but I'm still looking for something closer to £500 for this one. I have to double-check, but I'm pretty sure that my Legacy 800 Speak-on jacks accept the 4-pole cables (but obviously still only uses two of the poles). The more recent Legacy heads can't accept anything but 2-pole---the 4-pole cables just don't fit in the jacks! Anyway, I'm not sure if this makes a difference to anyone... might save someone from having to buy new cables though.

    Yeah, looks like Polar has them on eBay for that price. That's great deal for a new head!
  16. tvickey
    Wow, impressive! Really nice work!

    He's the other Strategy 888 with that "Pull to boost" gain knob... connected to my Mesa Vintage Powerhouse 4x10" and 1x15" cabs
  18. tvickey
    Mesa stopped making them around 2018... had only been produced for ~5 years. Later year models have a "pull gain knob to boost" feature, I have one of each. Not cheap to re-valve... and the current valve crisis doesn't help either but I did manage to pick up some spares recently.

    I'm not desperate to sell... if you can get a new 800 Watt model for £549, that sounds like a great deal.
  20. tvickey
    Yes Fretless Fiend, the 800 Watt GK Legacy is still for sale!
  21. tvickey
    Nice Mesa cabs! Yeah, here's that Legacy 800 into my Mesa 6x10" Powerhouse:

    I used the Strategy 888 on this track: https://beforetheyarehanged.bandcamp.com/track/this-ones-gonna-hurt-album-taster-track
  23. tvickey
    Bought each of them used... all-valve head, so I had to have a spare (plus you can master-slave them)
  24. tvickey
    I used the Legacy when recording bass on this track, for example.

    This listing is for a Gallien Kruger Legacy 800 head, which is in pristine condition and excellent working order. I'm the original owner, and the amp was purchased new from Andertons in November 2019. All of the original stuff is included (I keep the boxes for _everything_ !): - Power cable - Footswitch - Footswitch cable - Original manual - Original box The head sounds really great, and I even took it into the recording studio with me in February 2020. During the pandemic, I started to try out a number of different heads and ultimately decided that I really do prefer having a valve preamp. I have so many amps, that this is just surplus to requirements at the moment (valve-wise I currently have two Mesa Strategy 888's, a Mesa WD-800 and a GK MB Fusion 500). If you're near Sheffield you are free to drop by my place and try out the head. Thanks!
