New Used Amp Day

[Timothy Brosnan]

Bought a used Mesa Subway D-800 amp from right here at Talkbass. Running it through a Fender Rumble 2X10 cabinet.

Let me just say, this amp is fantastic! I can see why these get such love here!
A true, clear, to the point kind of amp. Basically, I can leave the knobs at noon, with a slight boost in the low mids. After that, the instrument tone control gives me all I need, along with where you pluck the strings.

This is the last amp I will ever buy!

Salud!

I never see Mesa bass amps here in Spain. I played one belonging to a French band on tour and it was really great. Lots of options and a great base sound.

Edit: Congrats!! Enjoy it!!!

Now, once I eventually get a Mesa Subway cabinet, I’ll definitely be all set!

I bought that same head a few months ago. It’s FANTASTIC. Best amp I’ve owned, and in 40 years I’ve had a bunch. Congrats!

Yes, I love the voicing control, the range of character it offers is just brilliant. What I like about that is, you can give yourself a baked in tone, or make it really flat and it works real well with pedals and active basses. I run this with Subway cabs and yeah, it kills. Previously, I had a Mesa M9 Carbine and a Powerhouse 6 x 10 cab. I changed it over to this rig for portability reasons, and on stage I’m not missing anything. It’s different but plenty powerful

The simplicity of this amp is what I really love about it. That, and the great tone of course.

The components are all top notch as well. No sloppy feeling knobs or switches on this.

The love is definitely well deserved.
