Yessir! I think for me too. In other news, got a new to me Stingray Special today which has been a great addition to the family. Only played with it through the D800+ today, but I played solid for 4 hours. What a beast! Next will be the BD800. I'm expecting to just barely survive the thunder.

I wish I had proper recording gear, I could do the same. Would love even more a video of someone comparing the TT to the both of those, though.

Right?

For both of my Mesa heads, even when I have the Deep switch engaged, I always dial the HPF just enough to kill whatever boominess there might be given the room I'm in. Sometimes also a slight cut in low mids. Helps a lot. I never get any flabby sounding knows however, even on my low B string, no...

Yeah, definitely will want to try out the TT800 first, unless a used one comes up at a good price that is. Then I'll just buy it to try it out. The D800+ & B800D are both so good. Lol. Honestly I'll probably continue to be happy no matter which I keep.

Agreed.

Yes, I've thought about that before, too, but as long as I notice, sound and/or feel, and am happy, I'll play better because I'll be on a happy mood. It's very true, though, how much is lost in a mix.

Yeah I just don't play nearly as often as I used to and I had JUST bought the D-800+ not even 6 months before the Bass 800D came out and I got sucked into the hype thinking I would just sell whichever I end up using the least but I keep going back and forth. Lol I haven't had a chance to try...

Thanks, Andy. Makes sense. Does it more or less "feel" the same as the others? (Not that I should be worried at all, seriously, great job with all of these amps!)

I'm sure this topic has been covered just hoping somebody could give me a shortcut answer so I don't have to go digging through discussions. I own the top two pictured Subway heads and or completely different reasons I love them both. For simplicity's sake, I am strongly considering getting just...

I'm a little late to the party but LDS cabs LOVE Mesa Subway heads!

I don't know if Don is still making his cabinets are not, but I stumbled upon a used Greenboy styled LDS 15/6.5/1 a year or two ago and I loved it so much that when another 12/6 popped up on marketplace I immediately bought it and paid for shipping without haggling price and without hesitation...

Dang, everything about these sounded perfect for me until I read about all the breakage. I've had DTFs on three other basses (short and scale top-load and long scale through-body) with zero problems. Wanted to try these on my 5-er but i'm a little hesitant now...

Easy, these two!!

I have experimented running the 800D effects loop out into the effects return of the D800+. There are some differences to the feel due to I believe it was different damping between the two power sections. If you are playing through 15s or maybe even 18s or a big 21, it could tighten up your...
