Bump, price drop Also, added to Reverb but would prefer it to sell here, of course. Thanks, all.

TalkBass is where I learned about the Meatsmoke and I want to give this community a chance before I head to other market places. I bought this unit in 2020 for a recording project that never ended up happening. It has maybe 1-2 hours of use on it. There is not a single scratch. As mint as you...

Some light scuff marks (see pictures) but in otherwise perfect condition. Never had an issue with it. Purchased new about a year and a half ago. Played a few gigs and did a recording session with it. Otherwise, it has lived at the rehearsal space.

I just bought this power amp 2 weeks ago with hopes of having an all pedal board set up. Turns out I am really attached to the baked-in tone of my GK 800RB. Didier from Guitar Sound Systems added a clipping LED for me. I paid $690 USD (€540 EUR) with shipping to get it to the states from France...

Do you guys know what time he releases pedals on a given day? I signed on at midnight Dec 4 to get a RFE and it wasn’t on sale. I got up at 5 am and checked again- they had gone on sale and already sold out. I was shocked! And obviously disappointed.

I was talking to Mesa a couple weeks ago and heard that they found a long lost Prodigy new in box at their warehouse in Petaluma. Dunno if they still have it or if you’re interested but just thought I’d let you know. Call the Mesa Hollywood retail store if you’re interested

This is some great perspective. I don't intend on purchasing a new amp until I have the NV412 and the Meatsmoke in hand, but it is the missing piece of the puzzle. The point of this thread right now is to brainstorm and keep the juices flowing. I do know that I don't currently own a head or...

Okay, so I’ve spent many hours over the past few weeks doing as much research as I can. Now it’s time to turn it over to you guys because I know your input is going to be indispensable. This post is going to be long, but every time I ask for advice here, you guys ask for more details. So I’ll go...

Yeah, for sure! Thanks for taking a look at that. Mesa hit me back and said that their techs determined there is nothing wrong with the unit. It's what I expected, but several people here on this thread said my video looked fishy to them so I figured it was worth taking a peek. Living a few...

The amp is with Mesa right now, so we’ll know more in a few days. The impedance switch was definitely set correctly. The 810 only has a 1/4” jack, so I used a speakon to 1/4” adapter. Is it possible that cable situation is causing a loss in signal? I had never considered that before.

I own a GK 800RB (300 watts). It is every bit as loud as my TT. Here's the thing- I wanted to have more tonal options by buying an amp with lots of clean headroom (and some tube warmth) so I can start experimenting more with preamp and overdrive pedals as opposed to just driving the heck out of...

Pickup height is average. I don't really speak that language too well but I did have it installed by a good tech that I trust..? I'll make sure I report back after the guys at Mesa take a peek at the amp. My bandmate put it nicely- It's hard for you guys to truly be equipped to answer my...

Thank you again for all your input, I really appreciate it. I live near the Mesa headquarters in Petaluma and have an appointment to have you guys take a look at it on Monday. It's probably not defective, but it's worth taking a look.

Ampeg SVT-810E Sealed cab with original speakers

Also, the original pickup in that bass has been replaced with a Fender Custom '62 Precision Bass Pickup that ranks a 3 out of 5 on their "Pickup Output Meter".. so not super hot
