Thanks Nik Somewhat miffed to announce that the deal I was hoping for with the Mesa D180 & 1516 has gone away, so I'm not sure if I'm wanting to sell this rig. I might still be tempted if someone were to get in quick.... Cheers Chris

I could do with moving this on. There's not a lot of cash around at present so happy to accept PX offers, could use a decent 1x15 (Ampeg or Mesa preferred), a decent small head (Walkabout would be lovely but something in that space would be good), and I'm always open for basses, quite fancy a 6-string fretless at present

Thanks Nik, yes these are weightly but still 16lbs lighter than the Standard Powerhouse. I can carry the two of these at the same time, which I certainly couldn't do with the Standard 2x10, partly due to weight, but partly due to dimensions (the latter is about 5" deeper).

Ha ha, yes indeed Harry, although perhaps on this occasion caught out by that trait (I shouldn't have been so fickle as to sell my 1516 in the first place). I'm kinda thinking I might just buy the 1516 anyway, with the Buster it would be a very lovely rig......

Fair point

No worries mate, I'll let you know if I'm up your way Yep, my feeling is that the more gear I try, the more the Walkabout stands out. To my mind, and given the respect it gets from nearly everyone, it's really hard to understand why Mesa have discontinued production?

It's been a period of fluctuating rig needs here, with more ins and outs than usual. Whilst I'm fixed on Mesa, I'm still not quite settled, something made worse by a PM from another BCer last night! I've recently looked at getting a Mesa Walkabout combo (again), because whilst I'm fed up of dragging my full Mesa rig to rehearsals, I still want some serious tone on tap. In thinking this through, I've asked myself why I have a middle weight rig that's smaller than the rig I'd really like but is still bit too heavy to drag along to every rehearsal. The alternative is to get a Walkabout for rehearsals/small gigs but to go heavy at the other end. Having just been offered the cab that was always my #1, a Mesa 1516, plus a Mesa head from the same era, it's got me wondering whether I might move back to real man territory. So, I'm putting this up as a speculative FS thread. The Buster head was bought quite recently here, and is quite simply lovely in both looks and tone And the cabs via Thomann here https://www.thomann.de/gb/mesa_boogie_traditional_powerhouse_210.htm Just to be clear, this is very f*****g far from a lightweight rig in either weight or sound, but I'm thinking that if it's going to need to go in the back of the van, it might as well fill the back of the van. I'm far from decided on this, but happy to start a conversation so to speak. Chris

Happy to discuss good offers

Thanks mate, it's a stunner, and I would love to keep it. But then I'd probably have to play it, and I'm having enough trouble finding time to play bass at the moment

Need this gone! Offers?

Jazz Bass with Precision neck is the bass that Fender should have made years ago, and I still find it really odd that they don't offer it as an option, because it changes the feel of the Jazz dramatically. If I didn't already have two of them ...........

As a fellow Mesa aficionado I think you're forgiven Steve

Canterbury Alfie, long shot I'm guessing......?

Both posts agree that the model for sale in this thread (12") is the preferable of the two models Steve? Still very tempted by this
