NAD: Welcome back, Mesa Walkabout!

[Lowbrow]

I’ve been periodically kicking myself for selling my WA head about 10 years ago, and I’ve finally made that right. Great example in excellent condition from GC’s used gear collection.
Welcome back, old friend!

Wow, that's great!

Congrats, that's a sweet head!

I have a tendency to bond to gear,

almost sold some at one time during a stretch between bands, but I took them off the market.

My band trailer became a nice little garden shed, so I hung on to that, lol...

I'm so glad now that I kept those things.

Out of all the amps I've ever owned (and there were many), I only miss the Walkabout and V4B.
I might have to get a WA again and use it with more efficient cabinets.
I wonder if parts will be available for much longer.

Nice! I love that Walkabout tone! I wrestled with the decision to get one or get the WD800. The WD has worked out great for me and is a better solution for the band I'm in, but I'm still a little jealous! Enjoy rocking that thing!

The WA with a cab like the Berg CN212 (4 Ohm) or another high efficiency 4 Ohm cab like the SW212 is precisely what I think most people were looking for when they said they needed just a little more clean volume (plus headroom) from their WA. There are a couple of us who think the CN212 is a well-voiced cab for the WA as it is a little less focussed on deep lows, but is plenty beefy.
