Mesa Boogie Subway Bass 800D Tube Amp Head
For fans of Mesa's historic bass amplifier heads, we have the Mesa Boogie Bass 800D. A powerful reimagining of Mesa's B400+ bass amp head, the 800D features a Class D power amp and tube preamp while following initial architecture cues from the 400+ with Boogie Channel topography from the Subway TT-800. The 800D is fitted for modern players seeking to have both their '80s and '90s-style tones and modern, boutique tube head functionality.
Mesa's Bass 400+ reigned supreme for all sorts of artists throughout the '80s and '90s. For the stage or studio, the 400+ dished out clear attack, pitch, and dynamics that could be shaped for any and every scenario. The 800D updates the Mesa classic to keep up with modern bass heads in every fashion.
The Mesa Boogie Bass 800D punches in with a powerful Class D power amp and a lone 12AT7 preamp tube. Together, these features summon massively expressive and shapeable bass tone that fits in just about any musical situation. Thick, punchy, and versatile, the 800D is effortlessly impressive. The 800D reformats past Mesa EQ designs with new, front-facing switches that offer up control over preamp gain (Low and High), "Deep", and "Bright", that shape signals simply and swiftly in lieu of the finicky nature extensive graphic EQs can call for. On top of this, Mesa introduces their popular high-pass rotary control that sculpts out the sub-lows that can crowd a mix or muddy the cohesiveness in overdrive.
Further upgrades to the Bass 800D over Mesa's 400+ include a speakON style locking speaker outputs and a comprehensive impedance switch that offers 2, 4, and 8-Ohm operation to cover all your cabinet bases. Connectivity expands with a headphone output, a mute remote-triggering jack, auxiliary in and tuner out jacks, as well as a handy USB device power jack. An included gig bag travels with this Mesa head.
With the 800D, Mesa treats us to Mesa's Bass 400+'s iconic tube tone and warm, musical character with added overdrive potential simultaneously with the Subway line's top Class D topology. These benefits all coalesce in a compact, travel-ready head that will stand up to the trials of touring. Mesa Boogie's Bass 800D brings forward the robust tube design of classic Mesas for a new generation of bassists.
