bassace97 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 This just dropped on the Mesa Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI1611pbemA Wonder how much quieter it is than the D800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Looks interesting. Looks like a smaller D800 which was already pretty small. 350 watts should be plenty for gigging. I’m interested in it as a back up amp to one of my larger heads. it should be less expensive than the D800 but it is still a made in USA amp so I’m guessing it will still cost about £700- £800 minimum and by then it is only a incremental amount to the D800. Although with European production issues we will probably have a long wait anyway to see one in stock anywhere.

bassace97 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) I've got a D800, which is more than enough for any gig, especially since it goes down to 2 ohms. The only difference I can see is the D350 only goes down to 4, which is fine for most things to be honest.

It has a bright switch rather than a deep switch, but has usb power outlet Edited June 14, 2022 by MOSCOWBASS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agedhorse Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) The difference in maximum volume between the D-800 and D-350 is just about 3dB It's not a practice amp, it's a totally giggable amp with the features of the D-800, but with the bright switch replacing the deep switch, less power, convection cooling (no fan), smaller, lighter and with a USB power port. The D-350 doesn't support 2 ohms. An amp this low powered wouldn't be the ideal choice for driving the typical cabinet combinations that would make up a 2 ohm load, these players would be better served by the D-800 anyway.

fretmeister Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 No fan! Now I'm interested. I look forward to trying one when stock arrives in the UK in 2025. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 One of my close friends decided to go modern/fairly lightweight and was very interested in a modern Mesa bass amp. Sadly they haven't been available here so he went with Darkglass. I still would like to try a new Mesa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the guitar front I would really like to try a Badlander but the supply chain issues are horrible. Just an annoying part of the times we are currently in which will hopefully be sorted out sooner rather than later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 The weight on this new one is insane! Impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
