    Dealer: Fender Ultra to replace Elite

    With the maple neck being unfinished, this seems likely that the new maple necks will be baked. Especially since they are now offering Baked maple necks on the Fender Mod Shop. I wonder if they will be replacing the Ebony boards and going back to Rosewood now that CITES is now allowing rosewood...

    Mesa Just Killed the M6, M9, And Walkabout amps.

    As an update to this thread, I just bought the Subway D800+ head to put it to the test against my M6 and i have to say.....It's probably the most well rounded and perfect bass sound i've ever had in my life. I have put 4 different basses through this thing and every single one sounds amazing...

    Mesa Just Killed the M6, M9, And Walkabout amps.

    This is why I love this site! All of these posts have been informative and enlightening, and to get direct info from agedhorse at Mesa is just another reason. Everyone is passionate about different things. I'm sorry if my post came off as unappreciative or disparaging of the new technology. I...

    Mesa Just Killed the M6, M9, And Walkabout amps.

    I appreciate the weight savings that micro heads give but come on! These were some of the best new amps to come out in the last 15yrs. I love my M6, and own several micro heads and they have their place but they are not able to replace the thick power of the M6. Just a shame....I guess the days...

    Going back to an old friend - Mesa M6

    New Aguilar Model?

    I agree that the updates seem logical being that they have had the same head unit product line for quite a while. I use the TH500 and 2-SL112 cabs for rehearsals and small gigs. They are amazing when it comes to an easy load in/out. They don't have the same punch as the DB's but for most...

    New Aguilar Model?

    This is more of a speculation question but does anyone think that Aguilar will be coming out with a new bass head model anytime soon? Like a TH800, or a DB752 (with a sweep-able mid like on the th500)? Does anyone have any theories or info? Thought this would be a good conversation starter...

    Mesa Amps with Ampeg Cabs

    I own a Mesa M6 and use to own an Ampeg 410HLF and 410HLF Heritage. Tone: That combination did not play well with each other. Mostly because the HLF cab tends to over exaggerate the low and high frequencies. Running into an 8x10 or HE would be much better. Power: that all depends on the ohms on...

    NAMM 2016 Rumors...

    Saw an interview with the Dave's from Aguilar where they hinted at coming out with a new SL410 cab next year. I wonder if they are going to come out with any new Amps as well?
