Mesa Walkabout + TL806 special Retro look ...
- Thread starter Buzz Lightyear
- Start date
Unique...one of a kind visual.
- Retro meets Techno-Garage.
You'll make a very personal statement every time you plug in and present yourself.
Heck, you'll be creating a buzz even before you step on stage. That stand-alone stack will announce your presence just by being there.
Wonderfully Creative Design & Execution.
Great blend of Techno with graphic design.
Trashed up, just right...all with a touch of playfulness.
Enjoy playing that very personal rig.
Well done !

Nice attention to detail! The first 'relic' amp?
I agree with the poster who thinks you should send these pix to Mesa.

Impressive! Your rig deserves to be in the centerfold of the next issue of Bass Gear Magazine (are you listening, Tom?)

Thanks for the email, anderbass!
Now I'm waiting for a reaction ....

If you could get Mesa to do this, it would be more expensive than any of their custom covers, I would think, as it would probably be muuuuch more labor intensive.
Probably, you're right, Chef .... It was a lot (!)of work
But it is sooo nice! In my opinion, they can't ignore this design and first of all your reaction to it. Perhaps they like it for NAMM or other exhibitions, who knows?

Awesome work, that rig looks beyond fantastic. Knowing how great the WA head sounds, I'm sure that rig DOES sound as good as it looks. Nice job.
So Cool! I wouldn't call this relic'd or retro. Although some of the imagery is retro, the overall appearance is more reminiscent of dystopian futuristic films. "Techno-Garage" seems closer, but the only thing I can really call it is, art.
The grills are unique; wonder if they are re-purposed from a different use. And the printed material transfer is intriguing. Yup, a lot of time and talent on display here. And I imagine it sounds great too. Thanks for the post.

I want to thank you for all the posts!
They showed me, that my "new" design is ok and that it was no waste of time and energy!
Thanks for your positive and motivating feedback!
btw.: I heard nothing from Mesa, not one word ....

"Playing Reverend Basses on a Regular Basis"
Now we're talkin'. That's a cool, unique attitude there. Good solid piece of work it appears, too.
I have been wanting to build a TL806, I LOVE it for guitar, and recently switched back to bass. I play through a Mesa Bass 400+ and want to build a pair and load them with Eminence Delta Pro 12a so that even if I can only lug one it will be enough to handle my beast of an amp. Obviously this is no substitute for an Ampeg 810, but does it sound good?
