I can confirm 66 lbs and easy to move--great casters and handles. Really, the highest build quality I've seen, even compared to some much more expensive cabs.

+1000!!!
I owned two of these bad boys until injury forced a rig re-think. Without a doubt, the BEST two cab rig I'd ever played through!
I'm normally an SWR fan but I must admit the head that really moved me of all that I've ever heard was the BB750. The SWR combo I use now (WorkingPro 12) comes close but doesn't quite have that lovely tube sound the BB750 did.
I got talking to this ex-session guy and his top three were Mesa, Ampeg and SWR. He'd gone Mesa because he thought that it was pretty much the best of the Ampeg and SWR worlds in one unit.

just got a 400+
most of the marks on it are duct tape residue. It came with grove tubes and sovtek.
I ordered wing-c power tubes and jj 803 pre tubes

Lots o' cool Mesa gear in this thread. I just officially joined the circle today myself: picked up an as-new PH212 (black grill) from a local music store ridiculously cheap, like 'pinch yourself' cheap. Apparently it was used for one gig by a band that rolled through town and then sat collecting dust. I just happened to wander through at the right time. I will get pics of the new cab tonight when I head off to our rehearsal space. I'm curious how it will like being paired with a PS210... more later.
Yeah, so... turns out my 'deal' has a blown driver. Talk about a bring down. I pulled one out and it looks to be an Eminence Deltalite 2512, sans Eminence badging. Back to the store for me in the morning, to see what they'll do about it. Even with a buzzing driver, I very much like the tone of this cab (paired with GBE 750).
Went down to the shop where I purchased the PH212 and they sent it out to be repaired, on warranty. Call me very happy, just too bad that I likely won't have the cabinet back in time for our CD release at the end of the month. Oh well, anticipation can be a good thing.
Picked up a Black Face Walkabout and extension cab.
If I need slightly more muscle...
Very Nice. You are set.

My MESA GAS is making me want this setup next. Unless I find a really good deal on the other MESA stuff I want.
Here's my li'l piece of Mesa induced bliss:
nice. How about some close ups.
Just did one in the Big Cabs thread, but I could snap a few more shots if you'd really like.
lomo,
Yeah I guess "li'l" is a relative term... the cabs weigh a metric ton for sure, but they sound vicious.
I currently use an M6 with an M9 on order. I'm looking for a 1 cabinet solution so I've been thinking about buying 1 of 3 Mesa Powerhouse cabs. I'm thinking of either the PH610, PH1200 or PH412. The problem is there are no dealers in my area who carry any of these cabs for me to audition. I've owned the PH212 and dug it. I've play the PH410 and really loved the sound but didn't like the fact that if I punch my B string the cab starts to crap out and only moderate volumes.
I'm leaning towards the 610 because I like the quickness, articulation and punch of 10s. However I'm afraid the 610 might not give me much more ooomph than the 410 and more importantly I'm afraid the 610 might crap out like the 410 did. If someone out there has ever compared the 410 to the 610 maybe you can give me your prospective on these 2 cabs.
Also at just 2 or 3 pounds heavier I'm thinking why not go for either the PH1200 or PH412. Those cabs are rated at 1200 watts as compared to 900 watts of the 610 cab. My thoughts are that I'd probably be able to slam on the B string without fear of crapping out either one of those cabs. If I were to go this way I'd probably lean towards the PH1200 because of the 4 - 10s. But does the 15" driver in this cab make the cab sound boomy? Crabby liked the PH412 cab much more than the PH1200. In fact he thought the 1200 sounded boomy compared to the 412 but I believe he was using an MPulse and not a Carbine so maybe that makes a difference but who knows.
So I'd really appreciate it if any of you guys could give me your thoughts, opinions and reviews. Thanks a lot.
