    Trying to find out the year of my Mesa 400+

    I run mine with a Mesa 8x10 - it's a bit of a beast, but it sounds great, and it's nice to get some speakers close to ear level.

    Mesa/Boogie Official Club Thread

    Love the red cab. I was hoping to try a different color but the timing and expense just didn't work out for me.

    I think I might be crazy for getting a cab this big, but it sounds sooo good. Link Removed

    412 vs 810?

    I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I too found the new Ampeg 810s dull - went with a Mesa 810 instead - much broader frequency response and it's a beast. Sorry I can't help with the 4x12, though I'm feeling a bit lukewarm about my Aguilar 2x12 - nice cab and all, but just not bonding with it -...

    Thinking of Buying an Ampeg 810E

    I used an SVT Classic. Obviously the Ampeg 810 works great for many people, and I can only speak to the new ones, but I was underwhelmed in comparison. I also have a 410he and I've noticed that it's lacking in overall clarity as well. And yes, the 410 does sound much better in a band setting...

    Thinking of Buying an Ampeg 810E

    Just for an alternate viewpoint - I played one recently and compared it side by side with a Mesa Powerhouse 4x10 - and the Mesa sounded so much better - way more clarity, growl, definition, etc. Wanted to like the Ampeg, as the price was right, but just couldn't justify it. Just my opinion...

    ****! My Mesa Boogie 400+ Has Finally Failed Me! :*(

    Radio Shack will have them, or any electronics type store. Which reminds me, I need to pick some up myself...

    ****! My Mesa Boogie 400+ Has Finally Failed Me! :*(

    Push down on the fuse cover and turn it to the left - it should loosen up and you can just pull the cover out and the fuse should be attached.

    Mesa Boogie Bass 400+ Preamp Settings

    I'm still getting used to mine, but it seems that the graphic EQ is a bit particular, or perhaps a nicer way to say it, is that that the graphic is a very powerful shaping tool. Start with the EQ disengaged and then use it to further shape what you need.

    Ampeg 8X10 vs Mesa 8X10

    Thanks KPAX - I haven't had any luck finding many good cabs to audition. I think I'll have to take a bit of a leap of faith on this one, though I'm hoping that what I heard from the 4x10 translates into the 8x10.

    Ampeg 8X10 vs Mesa 8X10

    Reviving an old thread here... Just demo'd a new Ampeg 810e and a Mesa powerhouse 4x10 (wish GC had a 610 or 810, but alas, no such luck). The Mesa was *by far* the better sounding cab - more clarity, definition, punch, etc. Amazing the difference between the two side by side, even with the...
