Yeah thats kinda what I was thinking. It wouldn't make marketing sense to offer both the 600 and an equivalently powered walkabout so the 600 being discontinued makes me wonder. I wish there was some info out there. Im cconsidering a Carbine but would rather have a higher powered WA. At least thats what I think I would prefer. Still need to try the Carbines though. Sadly my WA just isn't cutting it anymore.

The M6/M9 are just stellar, but again yeah- it'll be a night and day tonal difference from the WA, no doubt!
IMO, the M-P 600 smokes the M-2000... I think you'll be happy with that change...

3 years cab, 5 years amps..... Like I mentioned earlier though, receipts are needed for cabs to show proof of purchase or register. It is transferable though but needs to be confirmed by Mesa.
I know you know what you're talking about. But it's quite hard to believe, the M-2000 is definitely a killer amp ! I really dig the sound I got with mine. The tube-pre is clean, crystal-sounding lows and mids and the Fet-chan has some punchy low & infras. All the features it has are insane!
But I still hope the 600 is better

I traded my M2000 for a first-run M-P600. I didn't regret it in the least!
Also, was able to go by GC and get a reprint of my receipt- except I got home and it was the wrong cab......... 
I think I bought the broken cab at a different GC anyway so I'll check there on Thursday...

i actually traded my svt 4 for the M2000 and couldnt be happier! I won't get anything other than Mesa now. M2000 is at my bands jam space and my bandmate lets me borrow his Mpulse venture 115 for the apt 
Hey Mesa owners. I'm looking for a good practice/at home amp to pair with my Mesa 400+......do any of the not all tube Mesas have headphone jacks?
I'm not looking for a designated Headphone Amp as I want to practice with how the Mesa colors my effects and bass signal. Get it as close to uniform from headphone practice, to band practice, to onstage screaming volume as possible. I know none of the not all tube heads sound like the 400+.....but it would be close than a headphone amp.

I am using a "not all tube" M9 as my main gigging amp and as a backup and headphone amp, I was using a GK MB Fusion until recently.
$500 used, fits in a gig bag, has a headphone jack and sounds suprisingly like the Mesa Carbine amps.

How do you like your 212 (pros, cons, etc.)? I'm thinking about getting one.
I absolutely love that 212. I mostly retired the old Diesel cabs, but my all-time favorite tonal cab was that old 215. The closest tone I can to it get with a modern one is the PH212....bonus that it's lighter and more efficient.
Only con is they're hard to find. I want to get a matching one, that way I can stop dragging that 810 from show to show, I like the way the 12's sound better.

Updated Boogie pic.
So that's where all the good used Mesa gear has gone. That is impressive. Is that a V Twin pedal? How does it sound with a bass? I am interested in scooping one up to use as a headphone amp/OD pedal to run in front of a Buster 15 combo that I hope I can score. I want to go back to Mesa tubes, but I really don't want to lug around a D-180 or 400. The Buster should fit the bill nicely.
