    Mesa Boogie, Part 3

    Will this idea work (M9 Carbine).... I've never used anything more complicated than plugging straight into a single channel bass amp in the past so I'm thinking about the possibilities with this amp. What I'm thinking is using the amp's graphic EQ to create a scooped tone to go along with...

    Couple of questions about Mesa

    I'll give it some thought. I'm not going to be buying anything by this weekend so I'll have some time to lurk and read up. Just felt the need to ask a few questions to make sure I'm pointed in the right direction.

    Couple of questions about Mesa

    If their 2x12 weighs less than a Recto 4x12 then I'm ahead of the game. I mostly don't want to be moving a fridge around all the time. I'm leaning towards using a single 2x12 to start and making a judgement call on whether I'll get a single 12 or another 2x12 once I get some experience with...

    Couple of questions about Mesa

    I've read that the M9 pretty much explodes through the cabs. That sounds pretty appealing but I was wondering if it'd be too clean for my purposes? I also want to be able to get gigs with some classic rock style bar bands since they typically get more business. About the M6 vs M9... How good is...

    Couple of questions about Mesa

    Hi. I have a couple of questions about building a Mesa rig. I'm kind of gear stupid so if I sound out to lunch I apologize now. All I currently own is a Godin 4 stringer with a passive P style neck pickup and a J style bridge pickup. I sold off the rest of my bass gear back in 2005. I'm...
