    New MESA BOOGIE release - MESA/Boogie Bass 800D - 800W Bass Amp Head

    Added my 4x10 to the home rig. You can definitely tell they are mismatched since the Aguilar is ported and has a tweeter. Still though. It slaps. Running at 2.67 ohms. Still room for more…

    Whoa you have a goldline 500? Me too! My first big boy amp I bought in high school. Sold the 410 cab to a fellow TB’er but I don’t think I’m ever getting rid of the head. That said. The 800d absolutely rips without pedals

    Just wait it out, I bet you'll get it sooner and it will be worth it.

    For sure, this being my first hybrid head the most obvious thing I've noticed is that, particularly in the low register, notes will "bloom" based on your attack, definition between lower register notes is a little more muted. Definitely not a super tight feel. The compression if you drive the...

    New MESA BOOGIE release - MESA/Boogie Bass 800D - 800W Bass Amp Head

    Ok so I played my first gig in many months. I had to take the new 800D out. I ran it with NO FX, just directly into a 12 inch markbass cmd 121 extension cabinet. I've NEVER experienced a single 12 inch speaker sound that huge, and that good. The deep and bright switches are SOOO useful in a...

    I had to turn my knobs on my darkglass VMT way down or it would really affect the tone of the preamp, killing alot of highs. If I kept the blend and dive very low it works well as a clean(ish) boost/drive. If you’re using high gain, compression can be made redundant.

    Tried a few of these and it’s insane how drastically different they are. Interesting how they use the high/low gain switch in different positions. Really shows off the versatility. I had not tried the bright and deep initially and was hoping for more brightness. After trying them, wow they...

    This looks so sexy on the traditional powerhouse 610. My concern about it looking small on this cab was really overblown. About to give it a go now.

    New MESA BOOGIE release - MESA/Boogie Bass 800D - 800W Bass Amp Head

    Anybody tried this head on a (traditional) powerhouse 610? That's what I want to use it for mostly. In fact since this is a 2 ohm head, I wanna run an aguilar sl410x, and the traditional 610, and later add another 410 or 115

    No longer available Aguilar SL410 / Aguilar Tone Hammer 500

    Just wanted to chime in here, I bought an aguilar sl410x from latinbass 3 years ago. It's clean, I still use it and he made the deal very easy.
