I run a MESA Bass 400 circa @ 1983 through a GK MB 115 cab and have zero problem rattling the drummers snare with every note. I know, sacrilege running another brand cab, but what's a brother to do? Sounds great! 6 6L6's, I am figuring @ 180 watts? I have run pre-Magnavox SVT heads and they...

I hope my Bass 400 outlasts me. Class D is a cool concept and all, but it isn't as though most of us couldn't use the minor amount of exercise a lead sled provides.

That is recycled from another thread. It could be used almost daily around here.

My guitar player runs 22 watts, I run 180 watts, both all tube. Works pretty well. I would need way more wattage if I was running solid state......

I am so interested to see what all of this talk produces. I voted Bass 400 and mine is loaded with 6L6's and I love the tone, as does everyone who hears it. So getting back to the question of tube sound it has to be 6L6's. A case can clearly be made that 6L6 tubes were in most of Mesas amps that...

Mesa/Boogie Bass 400. I play one now equipped with 6L6's. Great tone stack. One of the most tweakable bass heads ever. Perfect amount of power. If Mesa makes a re-issue I would love a new one! 400 > 400+

Neither of these amps have toobs and if you used them as paperweights they would be ineffective. That being said I have a special place in my heart for Mesa.

Oh yea? What is an Ampeg fridges volume in parsecs square?

The answer is yes. I concur.

Remember when that non-musician came up after a show and asked how many watts your rig is running? Never happened. You might get a "you guys were loud" but that's it. Hopefully you get a "your bass sounded great". Ears are miles more important than watts. Perceived loud IS actual loud.

To move air you want a ported enclosure with an f3 number @ 40 hz or lower.
