silverfoxnik Posted October 18, 2025 Posted October 18, 2025 (edited) *** Now SOLD *** Hi Folks, I've recently acquired a Handbox head, so am putting up for sale, this incredible Mesa Boogie Walkabout Combo. I'm looking for £650 or near offer and am not looking for any trades It's in really good condition and works perfectly and comes with the original cover. Here's a brief description an spec summary: The Mesa Boogie Walkabout Combo 15 is a 300-watt hybrid bass combo amp featuring a 4-stage tube preamp, 6 tube-driven MOSFETs in its Simul-State power section, and a 15-inch neodymium speaker with a 10-inch passive radiator. Key specs include active/passive inputs, a 3-band semi-parametric EQ, and a balanced direct line output with a ground lift switch. It weighs approximately 63 lbs (28.6 kg). Though I've owned a Mesa Big Block 750, the Titan, an M-Pulse 600 and a Carbine, I still think there's something really magical about the Walkabout sound, and together with the 15" driver and downward facing 10" passive radiator, it is a brilliant gigging tool for us weekend warriors who still love the thrill of a bass rig blasting away behind us whilst playing! Backstory is that I got this in a trade with @jarc11 on here a few years ago, and here's the link to his original advert: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/459789-traded-mesa-boogie-walkabout-15/#comment-4656526 For now I'm using a few of his photos (hope that's OK 🙏) , but will add some more of my own tomorrow. A recent bout of sciatica has meant I'm trying to reduce the weight of some of my gigging bass gear, hence the acquisition of the Handbox, but - pound for pound - I still think this is one of the best bass combos ever made. Collection from Potton, Central Bedfordshire or meet up by prior arrangement. I will not ship this for obvious reasons. If my Carbine sells before this, then I'll probably withdraw this from sale because I really do love it. But for now, it's up for grabs. Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for looking.

Sean Posted October 18, 2025 Posted October 18, 2025 Stunning. I can't remember the last time I saw a 15" Scout up for sale. Awesome beast. 1
Steve Browning Posted October 18, 2025 Posted October 18, 2025 Portaflex on steroids. I use mine all the time. Superb amps. GLWTS. 3
Kev Posted October 18, 2025 Posted October 18, 2025 Recently picked up the 12" version and adore it, special combos these! 1
Sean Posted October 20, 2025 Posted October 20, 2025 Brilliant to see this going to a good home. I'd have to hold a panel interview and do background checks before letting one of mine go to anyone I didn't know was qualified to be a Mesa custodian 🙂. 2
petecarlton Posted October 20, 2025 Posted October 20, 2025 Quite apart from the amazing sound capabilities, these are just beautiful objects - craftsmanship and care always win in the end. I too am wishing I'd seen it earlier (and could afford it!). Hope your sale goes well... sort of! 1 1
