Thanks for the input Monz and Musicman20! Good! I haven't really tried the Hiwatt head but i have read about some guys owning both such a head and Orange MK1.They say that they sound similar,not very different in sound or output. The reason i went for the Matamp was that it's PTP wireing,supposed to have great components (outboard transformers and so on),weighs a little less than Hiwatt 200 and is cheaper too. The thing is that i have tried the Orange MK3 and thought the sound was great but it was (distorting?what's the word in English)breaking up very early.It was just a tad louder than my other head Ampeg V4bh of 100w. So the Orange MK1 would be great but they are reeealy hard to find,so,the option was Hiwatt 200,but i bought the Matamp instead. When i talked to Jeff at Matamp on the phone he went on and on about how the Matamp delivers 200w rms clean sound,then the distortion kicks in.But can also be dialed in so the distortion starts earlier if you want.(like you said Monz) I can't wait ....

Has anyone tried both the Matamp GT200 and Hiwatt custom 200 heads and can tell about the sound? I have just ordered a Matamp GT200 and i'm waiting to hear it.

[quote name='onehappybunny' post='594575' date='Sep 10 2009, 11:21 AM']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![/quote] 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 name='antti' post='599251' date='Sep 15 2009, 03:22 PM']Still available?[/quote] I have just found another one at home wich i'm going to buy.I can go by car and get it. I'm sure this is a great amp and a great bargain that Ed is selling. Atleast as far as i know it should be avaliable. -
[quote name='Musicman20' post='598725' date='Sep 14 2009, 10:28 PM']You are gonna love this [/quote] I think so too. I tried one in a musicstore a few weeks ago.Not too bad... Sounded great,especially with the cabinets that come with the series.

I'm kind of curious about the Schroeder 1515 though.I was hopeing it would go deep and have a rounded deep end. I guess the Bergantinos are better in that sence then?

I had an M2000 for several years.No problems,nothing. In fact my impression of that amp was:built like a tank,but not the tubiest,thickest sound.

Hi,I'm Anders from Sweden. I found this forum when looking for a used Orange amp. This seems to be a big forum,alot of folks. I've been playing bass for about 20 years professionally.(I have got paid,i didn't say how much) I usually play rock hits,blues,country(americana) and occationally heavier stuff. We'll see if i can be a contribution or a load with tons of questions.
