Mesa Subway D-350!

[agedhorse]

Manual is online, please read through it as many of the features are explained in detail.

I believe the carry bag is available through our customer service folks.

The bag that came with the D350 was the same bag for the D800. So it really doesn't fit that well. If you find that you need one, I believe that Gator makes a nice one for not that much $. I found a used SKB hard case on eBay that does a great job.

Thanks very much. I will look into the gator for sure!

Thanks just downloaded the manual. Very well written unlike some of the others I have come across.

Welcome to the D-350 "club!" Nice to see a post in the thread, it had been a while.

I was surprised to see that Mesa is no longer selling a D-350 cover bag. At least there is not one listed on the Bass Amplfier Slip Covers page. You should contact Mesa and ask if they have them. Their number is 707-778-6565.

On that page: "Should you own a product not listed or seek a custom made cover, please visit Studio Slips." Although Studio Slips does not list a D-350 cover on their Mesa-Boogie page, you can work with them to get one made, as I'm sure they've made them.

Another option is the good ol' Invalid Link Removed.

D-350 owners- post some other companies' bags that have worked for you.

A 350 watt head is plenty of power for my needs. My usual cabinet is an Ampeg 2x10 he, rated at 250. I've got two, so once or twice a year, both come along for an outdoor event. I'd love to see the damping control on it.

Flashing led’s might be super cool. Something groovy looking. Reminiscent of the old rumbles.

I am still very impressed with the D-350. An outstanding small footprint design by Andy. Paired with the Subway 115, it's quite capable.

Thanks for the great info! I wasn’t aware of the Studio Slips option but I did reach out to Mesa to see if they plan to restock the D350 bag in their website store. That gator or harbor freight option may be all I need as the D350 will see only occasional travel time outside my home studio

FYI, there is a Canadian company called COVERAMP.COM
They made a cover for my Aguilar SL112 and did a great job. They're now making one for my MarkBass combo amp. Quality and fair pricing.

I like that quilted Coveramp cover!

I used to gig frequently with a D350, the stock issued bag is from a bigger model amp, and its also thin. I would pack the whole thing in either my backpack or duffle bag, so clothes added protection.
If I was to need to buy a bag, I'd rather look at probably a mixer or dj bag from Gator, they're more padded.

Hey folks,

I recently picked up a used Mesa D-350 from the classifieds (had the amp, sold it, missed it and bought it back again after three years!).It works perfectly and sounds great, but when I lift or move it, I can hear something shifting or rolling inside the chassis.

The seller didn’t notice this previously, so it may have happened during shipping. I’ve attached a short Video with the sound.

Before opening it up or taking it to a tech, I wanted to ask if there are any common internal components (nuts, washers, brackets, etc.) that can come loose and cause this, and whether it’s something that should be addressed before continued use.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Andy (@agedhorse) would be best qualified to answer this question, but my advice is to not use it until you figure out what the noise is. If it is something as simple as a washer or nut you do not want a conductive metal part bridging between two components or traces that should not be connected. I come from the aviation and weapon system engineering world and we always play it safe.

Stop using it because it may be a screw or even something that entered through the vent slots. You don't want to create a new problem.

You can message me with pictures and I will help you get this sorted out.

Thank you! Just reached out to Andy via PM.

Is the D350 good at low volume? For bedroom playing.

Does it have a gradual increase in volume/gain with the Input pot, or a sharper step change in volume?

Thanks,

Thanks,

Taper is linear throughout the entire rotation of both the gain and master volume pots, so yes i behaves well at low volumes.

Volume is easy to control.
