£250 makes me very sad! I dont remember exactly what I paid for it, but it was in the region of £300-400 six years ago! was hoping that it would keep its value as they're not made anymore and are very good bass's. And I found out my mesa 400+ is more poorly than I thought today! not good

Not sure what series it is right now as I've lent it to my Dad's band's bass player for a 'Queens of the Stone Age' cover they're trying out. But will text him now to find out lol. but it is active! £1? you cheap skate! hope its worth a fair bit more than that

damn it, had a tech have a look at it and its a bit more f***ed than I thought! it basically needs all the biasing parts replaced (not too bad £6 each x12) and a few other not so good bits and pieces replaced, plus the retube. Think its had a very hard life and one or two not so good owners being so old!! think I need to wait for a couple more pay cheques before I tackle it! unless someone on here wants to take it on? will sell it cheap as it is now!

Hi I've got a bass collection 5 string in sliver in very good used condition, just a few chips in the paint work. But what sort of price should I be asking for it? its got a nice hard case aswell. This is the only pic I've got of it in my photobucket.... (the one on the right obviously)

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='763296' date='Mar 3 2010, 08:03 PM']probably overkill, not sure what benefits freezing the tubes offer on a stage when competing against a marshall stack and a wall of cymbals.[/quote] but could I get a full "good set" cheaper elsewhere? I need it to be as salelable as posible! as I want to make my money back. I've got a flight case for the head, and a big cab for it (also in a flight case) think its an old mesa cab but not sure, its got a 15" at the bottom and a selection of speakers at the top! havent looked at it recently but I will dig it out and take a pic of it as someone on here will probably recognise/name it for me.

[quote name='jonthebass' post='762593' date='Mar 3 2010, 09:10 AM']Watford Valves are doing a deal on a full 400+ valve set IIRC... Check 'em out. From experience I've found it best to phone them for advice, prices, etc as their emailing is a bit sporadic. ATB, JTB[/quote] thanks for the help guys!, yeah 'Watford Valves' are doing a deal on a set of HARMA Cryo 5881's for £193! not bad atall. Are they good valves?, or should I get JJ TESLA 6L6GC's??

Hi I need to re-tube my mesa 400+ its currently got mesa tubes but I dont want to use them again as they're so expensive! and its not got any warranty to void. Any mesa 400+ owners on here? what are you running/ran/recommend?? Also I was thinking of tryng to sell it as it is, but as it needs re-tubing and setting up properly think it would be worth much? or should I get it running and then sell it? Not sure what I should do. Not in a band so have no need for it
