What is it about the Walkabout's tone that people love?

I was going to post "Pulg one in and you'll know" but being in Norway you may not have that option. What I like about the WA's tone is a round tubey low end that's actually a little on the slow side of response from the instrument while the warm mids are somewhat forward and detailed. The treble is mild but can be dialed in if required. It's just a good sound for being heard and giving that old school feel.

I had the same preconception about the sound of a single 12 in a combo as you but you really should give the Mesa Scout 12 a try before you commit to anything else. The sound you get out of it is like no other 12 combo. With it's passive radiator on the bottom and the port tuning it sounds very deep and vintage. With the player control network you have ample control over what the tweeter will be doing. It's very portable and has plenty of power for adding cabs for louder gigs (goes down to 2 Ohm and 500W). I don't have any problems gigging, playing along with drummers by itself either.
You may be pleasantly surprised.

Ok, It looks like I better go have a listen to them myself.

Seems like the WalkAbout is the favorite.
I'm also going to have a listen to that Mesa Scout 12.
If I could get something that small, It would be great.
