Mesa Boogie Walkabout Mega-thread part Four!

[rnilson]

I had a chance to get a scout combo with a blown speaker on CL for $350. I didn't do it and I am kicking myself now.

Not to dog pile on you, but yeah, I'd be kicking you for that decision too.

 

[Chef]

put a new speaker in there, and you're looking at ~$500...that's not really a super deal, IMO.

For a functional Scout Combo? That sounds like a good deal to me. If anyone wants to sell me a Scout Combo for $500, I'm game!

 

[Chef]

ahhh...combo with head, yeah, good deal.

Seriously good deal IMHO.

Hey, I already know I'm stupid....You're not helping here.

You're not stupid, but rather altruistic, leaving that killer deal for another bass player to derive glee from

A few pre-gig shots of my setups with the Walkabout:

Like my amp stand?

Actually, I'm diggin' the surf green pilot light!

 

[MarkusBass]

DAMN YOU!!!! You had to show me that Headcase!!!

:scowl:

 

[rnilson]

Yeah the Walkabout in that head case is strait bass porn

I just bought a walkabout from a talkbass member, it's en route now (so pumped). I just had a quick question or two, to those of you that have a walkabout with an m6/m9... are you using both simultaneously or just one or the other for different venues?

On another note I'm thinking about pairing the WA with a PH210 and a PH115... I know people advise against mixing speaker sizes but I've played around with it and like the sound. However I obviously haven't owned the set-up personally, have any of you done something similar with good results? Thanks for any input.

 

[naturalkinds]

Looks great, Stingray!

Nice DI. I'm using the same right now. Noticed your WA has a green light. Mine's red. Are either of ours modded?

 

[sunbeast]

I think they all came stock with red lights, except maybe the newest ones with blue. I'd love a blue for mine!

 

[stingray56funk]

My Walkabout is stock other than I changed the light (I'm fickle...one month it will be orange, then purple, then green, then blue...) and tubes.

Sunbeast is correct...stock is a red jewel light.

 

[MarkusBass]

mine is blue/purple.

Are those head cases for the WA available to BUY ?? or does one have to buy a NEW WA in order to get one?

 

[Chef]

I don't use the walkabout and M9 together...

You can order it direct from Mesa, by itself.
