After 15 years of playing a peavy mark VIII with a 4x10 woth NO problems. I have passed it on to my 16 y.o. son who is a chip off the ol' block.

A month ago I broke down and bought me a Mesa Boogie MPulse 600 with a road ready 6x10, I was nervous as a whore in church spending that kind of jack on a rig.
I deserve it. You are only as good as your equipment.
I will never be as good as this rig.
nor will I EVER want another amp.


I tried them all when I decided to buy. I tried Fender, Genz benz, Hughes and kettner, ampeg, blah blah blah...
I kept going back to the mesa asking why is its so expensive?
He said why do you think you keep coming back to it.
I have naver been taken aback, or really noticed the difference in tones between amps.
Its the sound I have been wanting all these years.
The tone on that mesa is like no other.
Thats the way bass is supposed to sound.

My basses...
4 str yamaha active
4 str fretless steinberger
5 str Anniv Sting Ray
5 str Fender jazz active made in AMERICA by Americans, by God
5 str fretless modulus
6 str conklin
6 str jb player
6 str ibanez sr506 w/bartolinis
6 str modulus quantum w/bartolinis

Believe it or not my fav out of the whole bunch is the yamaha, the ibanez, and of course the fender. The way I look at it, why take the high dollar ones out of the house, and worry about somebody ripping me off.
I do to show off from time to time, but I never let anyone play the quantum with out a $4000 deposit...LOL
I have maybe 3 bassist friends that I'll let play it.
I think I'd kill somebody over the quantum.
