jacko Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) open to reasonable offers around £550 plus carriage I'm selling my Mesa Boogie Big Block 750. It's in a 2 unit ABS case and includes the 2 button footswitch and a stereo lead. As you'd expect, it sounds huge, putting out 750 watts into 2 ohms. The official Blurb..

krispn Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 This looks like a pretty versatile amp. I never realised it was so versatile always thought of these as rock or metal amps. How's the sound with just a smidge of drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 With the gain around 10 o'clock or less it's a very clean amp. Take the active and passive mids past 12 o'clock and it can get into the very bright EBS territory. Drop the mids and bring the gain up towards 12 o'clock and it starts to get a bit 'ampegy' for want of a better description. The overdrive can get very aggressive beyond about 11 o'clock - I usually kept it near 8 o'clock just to switch in a little grind. The overdrive channel has it's own volume control so you can treat it as a totally seperate channel - the tone controls can need a bit of a tweak depending what sort of overdrive you're after. I tended to have both active and passive mids rolled off to about 10 o'clock for the stuff I play - mainly as I have active basses that can be a bit too 'glassy' if the mids are pushed. A passive fender isn't quite so 'in your face'. It really is a hugely versatile amp. You're more than welcome to come out to Forth to give it a try if you're interested.

jacko Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Big Tuna? I left them in 2013 and I believe Delberthot of this parish joined for a year. Don't know who they have now but I guess he's maybe not too bothered about having any creative input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
