Well, I've had the Walkabout for about a month here now. I can definitely tell it is a more sophisticated amp but there was a really nice growl I was getting from the Marshall that I haven't quite coaxed the Mesa Boogie to do. I will get there. No question that the Mesa is more responsive. It...

Played a bit more today with it. I feel like the key to this amp and finding a good sound is learning the EQ knobs. The Bass Treble Middle and the three Parametric ones. It's amazing how much things change with little adjustments. One thing that has really been driving me up the wall is the way...

Wasn't all that convinced that I was hearing the sound everyone here is raving about. Since the amp doesn't appear to be obviously broken (but does appear to be quite old) I figured maybe the pre-amp tubes were past their personal best. Dug the head out from the cab (which let me see the serial...

Well, just got in to Doha From JFK. I put the gig bag on and taped it around the bottom so it wouldn't come off and checked it as baggage. 23.0kg exactly on the scales! Plugged it into my 1500W step-down transformer here in Doha and we have ignition! Middle of the night so I can't try much...

It's been an interesting read. Me and my MB4210 have been getting along pretty well the past few years. I'm pretty much into the tube vibe so I stay completely on the Classic side of things. Interesting to hear people talking about turning down the bass. I run the bass control almost to full but...

Heh! One more reason to get home. I'm in NY for a week and traveling back with a new used Walkabout Scout. I think the two of them will get along just fine. And I'll look for the serial number. Can't wait! Sam

I'm in with my 4003. I got it used so I don't know the year. It didn't have the pull knob on the rear tone but it does now since I replaced all the knobs and jacks (it was somewhat butchered when I got it). I feel like I'm still learning how to get the best out of it. Love it!

Just got my first Scout. It's second-hand from GC. Old silver face with no effects loop switch. Handle literally coming apart and power light only works half the time. Since I'm thousands of miles from home I checked it out for function with my iPhone. Defenitely seems functional. Can't wait to...
