Mesa Powerhouse 4x10”. Good match for a Walkabout head?

View attachment 3838167 Just surfing around today and ran into this deal within my area.

It’s used but the price is actually doable for me. I’m going on to check it out either later today or early tomorrow. I just called them for details and the pic is a stock photo. The cab in question is a former rental and shows it to a certain degree.

I’m not too anal about those things so barring it looking like something out the choadhammer thread it should be ok. They’re also going to hold it for me till tomorrow and I still can return it within 30 days if for some reason it doesn’t work out.

I would imagine that it would be a good match for the WA head. Does anyone here have or have had this setup? I know it would only be 1/2’ish power going into 8 ohms but that just allows future opportunity for growth (like a WD-800). Will it still sound good with only about 150w going into it? Probably.

I was looking around for a 210 but this is within $100 of a new Ampeg 210 so other than the increased schlep I see no downside to this. They are quite heavy though aren’t they? Oh well, that’s why it has casters.

 

Yep, volume isn’t an issue at all for most of my current needs. I’m currently bandless and just playing at home, in my yard, or very occasionally jamming with friends.

The cab would be most useful when jamming with the buds as they are quite loud with a heavy hitting drummer & a loud lead guitarist and at times the WA’s stock 1x12” Scout cabinet was barely cutting it for volume.

I also thought it would be good opportunity to try out a premium cab using 10” speakers as I haven’t done this yet on my tone journey and I started slapping about 18 months ago. I also have the SWR head so I could run it through this as well.

Will this cab be ok for the Motown/R&B/Disco/Funky/Bluesy stuff that I also like to do?

Gotta say. I’m getting pretty excited.

Now if only that Titan that was on for $700 a couple of weeks ago was still around...

 

Then I go do a little sniffing around within the province and... That Goliath is pretty interesting too...and to think this started with a search for an affordable 2x10 or two.

 

Thanks for your input guys but I have a question.

Is the Mesa good with the low B?

I feel like this is a bit of a dumb question and it likely is but I learned long ago not to ASSume anything...
