Can someone point to where in the thread the noisy fan issue is dealth with? The WA is my practice amp for now and I'd enjoy it more without the constant noise. This little bugger is louder than my B1500! Anyway my search attempt was futile but I do remember reading about a mod or replacement long before I was a proud owner.

I'm thinking about ordering this fan. It's certainly a cheap experiment.

Ha, I love a band in Newcastle named the "Junco Partners", as I'm in New Orleans, play "Junco Partner" regularly at gigs, and my best pal who lived here for many years is from Newcastle!

Good tone by the way. A P with flats into a Walkabout is about as solid as it gets!

Cheers, NOLA!

If your friend went to see bands in Newcastle, he's probably familiar with The Juncos. They've been going since the 60s. :)

Does anyone know if replacenent/custom grills are available from Mesa for the WA scout.
If so how does one go about ordering one? Cost?

Thanks.

They sure are but watch your wallet. I think they were $200 - $250 ea. for the Scout 12 when I inquired a couple years ago.

*edit - I live in Canada so that price is probably inflated when compared to buying in the States. I went through a dealer.

looks great with a cane grill!!

FYI....this is the "wicker cane" grille. The others pictured above are "tan" grilles-they are the same fabric as the black ones but dyed tan. I believe they are cheaper.

That wine with wicker looks classy! As long as we're admiring the Tan and Wicker grills here's another pic:

ha, I usually don't care/think much about rig aesthetics very much, but damn, those tan grilles look great on the black WA's. Of course, the Wine/Wicker thing is killer looking too.

geez, now I need to go see what a set of these cost. :)
