New mesa subway amps and cabs!

[Funky Flunky]

Any of you folks have a suggestion for EQ settings on the WD-800 for a great P bass with flats tone? I have a new P bass on the way from Fender in a few weeks and am looking for a starting point.

That's what I play. I usually set the 6 eq dials at noon and bump the midrange and bass to about 2oclock, and turn the dampening knob to high.

The pre sets in the WD800 manual work well and should be great for a P Bass.

Thank you.

I'm intrigued, what are those?

Those are gripper pads - they can be had for less than $5...

Thank you! Added to my wish list to reference back when I want to try/need to use them.

Just came here after watching horrible demo reviews of the subway cabinets on YouTube. Can anyone here that’s done demos of the cabinets send me a link of their playing? I’d love to hear how they sound from a well rounded musician than listen to that dreadful YouTube video again..

Yep, this has been discussed multiple times, some like the videos, some hate them. I actually think they are just ok.

Headphones and a discerning ear can make use of the YouTube videos when listening closely. At least in my case.

Appreciate all these videos!

I’ve only gotten to page 10 last night of this thread before rehearsal so I’m still catching up @Lovep

So I had to chance to jam with a new drummer who also has a sound/production company. I was playing through the WD800 and 2-1x15s. I have a geezer pj set in my bass and Chrome flats. He was blown away by my tone and couldn’t stop talking about how good it sounded and how well it sat in the mix. That’s all

 

[sonojono]

I’m dead set on those 2x15’s as well. Can’t wait to try them out soon!

It better sit good in a mix, that's the result of ~40 years mixing FOH.

This is bad, I'm getting more and more curious about the 2x15. I love the cabs I've been using with the WD but curiosity is a creeping in.

Dying to get my hands on mine. The ETA from L&M was yesterday, still no ph call/email ( Long wait since the end of March.

Went to Hollywood for a session and never realized that there’s Mesa HQ lmao

I totally wasn’t expecting it! Tried their 2x15’s with my bass and WOW! I’m GASSED

 

[D Bopp]

Got my 2x15 today and played it tonight with the wd800. Wow!
