Mesa Boogie Walkabout Mega-thread Part 10

My question was pretty much in theory. “What if”.
Yeah -- got me thinkin' though!

Thanks to you, me, and @WoodyJ, legions of bassists, playing their Scout combos in posh living rooms and in wheatfields across the land, need suffer no longer from compromised cab tuning. I feel we've done a bona-fide public service, here.
 
Picked this up. Fair price I think and will give it a go at practice on Tuesday. Looking forward to it. Messed around a little and everything at noon was like perfect haha pretty surprising.

Looks like Mesa has finally run out of the slip covers, but they make a clickable recommendation for Studio Slips from the old store page. Slip Cover - 1x15 WalkAbout Scout Radiator Cabinet

*I have used LeCover for a set of covers for some bass cabinets... Bag End, not Mesa. They probably would make 'em though if you provide them dimensions.

I have had great success with Studio Slips for a variety of custom covers. They have them all (Mesa stuff) on there. I love my clamshells I had made for my Taurus pedals and Fender Bassman. I love the double padding options to.

Actually the combo versions (for both the 12/15) still show as “In Stock”. This must be the page for the extension cabs, which have the handle located on the side.
 
Hey guys & dolls,
I saw two used WA12's at N'Stuff Music in Pittsburgh this evening, if anyone's interested. :hyper:
One's a bit road-worn. The other looked pretty sweet. :bassist::bassist::bassist:
It's March Madness at N'Stuff, so maybe they'll cut 'yinz' a deal, n'at. :smug:
(FWIW, they thought of, er, "MM" before the NBA.) :cautious:

I'm not affiliated in anyway, except they're my favorite LMS.

March Madness is NCAA college basketball, not NBA, and has been called that since the 1930's. Of course, my sarcasm detection meter is not a well tuned instrument. :laugh:

So i was giving mine a run through at practice last night but does anyone have any helpful hints with EQ or settings that they like? my guitar is a Hallmark with a big neck humbucker so i know its different then your everyday p bass. Gonna mess with it some more and then do some recording. Just from the little i played with it it sounds HUGE and great with mostly everything flat.
Play in a surf band so going for some old schoolish tone but with a little bite.

Thanks!
