I just happen to still have my 05/06 Mesa brochure sitting out: yes the Walkabout Scout page lists both the 1x15 and 1x12 models both having neo drivers.

Mesa Boogie Walkabout Mega-thread Part 10

OK - let's play the "how old is my Walkabout" game. I need some help from those who know how to date these things.
The serial number is WK-003330. Anyone know how old their WA is, and what the serial number is? Maybe we can triangulate this without too much BS&T.

That's my plan, but I was trying to get a general idea today. If you have an estimate, it will be seriously appreciated. I'll call CS tomorrow when they open.
If I look inside my WA, there are handwritten dates on a lot of the parts inside and mine actually has a date and initials in silver Sharpie on the back next to the serial number tag.
Seems like a lot of them have the writing throughout. Unfortunately, mine only has two sets of initials on the PCBs inside, but no dates.
No. Do you "want" a Walkabout? YES. Husky123 has (or had) both a Carbine M9 and a Walkabout. I haven't seem him post about the M9 in ages; only the Walkabout.
I'm selling one in the TB Classifieds right now; you can have a Walkabout cheap, which is another reason to get one.
Seriously, the Carbine amps are SOOOO clean-sounding and punchy; if you want an amp that has a parametric EQ and will allow you to dial in some tube dirt/distortion, you definitely "need' one!
$500 + shipping. I don't think I'm allowed to link the ad on here, but just search "walkabout" in the classifieds and look for my name/avatar.

Your only obvious need is earplugs,...Walkabout optional, but highly recommended!
The M9 for my purposes was a razor sharp, unforgiving scalpel. The WA had way more personality though.

Heads like the Carbines will absolutely highlight poor technique and sloppy playing. The WA leaves some room to sound quite good with less a lot less precision in your playing - at least IME.
You can link the ad in your sig, doesn't seem much different to link it in a post...
a-HA! Good idea. TB is a rule factory; they are forever coming up with new things NOT to do on here; I just don't wanna P.O. any of the babysitters. That being said, @Stan13 -see below:
So playing thrash metal, with two guitarists (mesa 412s), and a loud drummer, Ill be ok with the walkabout and two 8 ohm mesa ph410s?
