PauBass Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) For sale is my Mesa 400+, in excellent condition and working perfectly, recently serviced. I swapped the Preamp driver valve 12AX7 for a Tungsol 12AU7 as recommended on Talkbass and now sounds so much better, included on the sale is the original valve too. I'm also including on the sale a Custom ABY Box that makes of this amp a very versatile beast. It allows you to use two different instruments also to select channel 1, channel 2 or both together. Run your effects in one channel, leave the other one clean and mix them to taste! It's a great bit of kit. Price? £925 with the valve and ABY box included in the price. I'm based in Hove, collection prefered but I'm happy to post at the buyer's expense and risk. Edited October 8, 2010 by PauBass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauBass Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Some interest but not sold yet. This amp is a killer! Together wih the Custom ABY box you can have clean sound in one channel, more grit on the second one and mix both to taste. Also you can run effects into one channel, leave the other one clean and keep your bottom end intact...it makes the of the amp a very versatile beast, you won't be dissapointed.

Dvisions Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 How easy is it for this beast to get gritty? I've always heard good things about these, but I always got the impression they have a transparent clean tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 These will do hella gritty especially if you run both inputs at the same time, and because each channel has a volume control you can crank them with them cascading into each other and then just turn the master down, it will do really distorted then. Unless of course your bass has the output of a 5 year old girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running both together I got even more distortion. With effects I run them on one channel only, letft the other one clean and run them together, blending both to keep the bottom end at all times. The amp has a really nice clean sound too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umph Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 enjoyed having one of these even though i'm not a huge fan of the fender tone stack. They sound great on 11 and will really shake the walls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
