Details

F/S due to downsizing at work...

Mesa Walkabout Scout 12; 6 years old; fine condition.
I bought this from a gent who used it for double bass exclusively, most of it's use with me has been the same-tho it does quite well at electric as well!

Small, portable powerhouse, this is the 4 ohm version with a 12" neo speaker, horn and attenuator. Big power and tone, small portable package.
300 watts at 4 ohms, ~450 at 2.67 ohms (8 ohm extension cab) and ~550 watts at 2 ohms (4 ohm extension cab.

The head pops right out in about 30 seconds for use with other/bigger cabs; and I do have the Mesa carry bag for it (not pictured).

She has two new JJ 12ax7's in the preamp, and a mosfet power section. Running the input lower, and master higher yeilds a great fat tube tone. Running input higher and master lower starts to add more harmonic content, and eventually some nice juicy overdrive.

Controls are input gain, shelving bass, passive mid, a three band semi-parametric eq, shelving treble; DI; and master volume.

Comes with Mesa's cover, and all the factory paperwork.
She's in fine condition-although the stitched leather handle does show wear. I believe Mesa will replace tho free, upon request but I've not bothered as it's still perfectly serviceable.

$700+shipping, payment via paypal e-check or money order.
thanks-alan

side note:
I do have two Mesa Diesel 115's, both loaded with Eminence 3015 neo's. Sitting the Walkabout on top of one of these is devatating, and more than enough for any job I've ever done-big clubs, outdoors, etc. Using the Walkabout head with two of them...fuggetabout-it!

Trade for Markbass F1 and $100? I wish I could give you cash but I am having a work downsizing issue myself. :-(

Hi Chef, my deepest sympathies for you situation.

Wish I had the cash for this, but times are tough for me, too.:bawl:

If a sale doesn't go through, would you consider a trading for a Universal Audio M610 preamp?

No sire, that's a last-year-ish feature.
This one has the standard style rotary attenuator.

Chef, sorry to hear about the job sitch. Here's to landing on your feet (people still have to eat).

I have one of these and they sound great for most any kind of music. They can run @ 2ohms in my experience.

I run mine with 2x BE S-15s and it keeks arse. The combo is voiced great for fretless IMO.

Your price is good, hope this sells fast.

Sorry about your situation Chef. I hope you turn things around soon.

My own experiences with the Walkabout Scout are on many posts on TB, but someone should grab this one soon. There's isn't a better 1x12 portable combo amp that touches the Walkabout Scout for sound. That's a great price and the price for new ones keeps going up.

Yes, it can run as low as 2 ohms with no problems.

a few more pm's replied...

fwiw: shipping quotes have been right ~$30 for those who have asked.

thx-alan
 
I used my Scout at a blues jam last night... someone sat in for a few songs, so I got to listen from the front for a change.

No PA support, and it sounded great. As tubey and old-school as you like.

Sorry you have to sell, Chef... good luck with the sale!
