Beedster Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Give it time Jim, it's a truly great amp but one that's very hard to get to know, especially after an M-Pulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Steve Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If it's a new acquisition I'd agree wholeheartedly with Beedster. When I bought my Bass 400 it took me about 6 months to really get to know it and understand it. I stopped using it for a while and went back to the pair of Orange heads I had at the time. Once I had got to know it I haven't ever looked at another gigging amp (in the last 22 years) as every sound you ever wanted is in there. Persist and you'll save yourself a fortune in GAS you don't even need to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybassdoyle Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hey Jim, I used to have one years ago. Got rid due to the weight but it was a great amp and I would think it's pretty much perfect for you. Trust the force/mesaboogie.... ABD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] +1, took me several months to overcome my original impression that it was a bit agricultural and unsophisticated. In fact I thought I'd been sold a dud when I first played it! However, you will not play an amp that provides more clarity and oomph, so stick at it and find your sound Jim.

Beedster Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Just noticed that I cunningly managed to agree with a post that was itself agreeing with my previous post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Jim - keep it! These are the best things in the World, better than mums, motorcycles or London Pride. I'm ashamed I haven't got one when I love them so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcblum Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 don't sell it. Me too, I won't sell my 400+. The only other amp I own ist a Thunderfunk 750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
