Converts Between a Combo and Head!

Here's a slick idea: Mesa/Boogie's brilliant Walkabout Scout is everything you need and nothing you don't. True, it's a 300-watt bass combo stunner that's packed with all of those pure tube bass tones you love. Yet, when all you need is the head, the Walkabout Scout is totally convertible. With only a screwdriver, you can quickly take the featherweight 13 lb. amp head with you. A knock-out blend of small size, huge sound, and total flexibility, you're going be crazy about the Mesa/Boogie Walkabout Scout.

Mesa/Boogie Walkabout Scout 300-watt 1x12" Bass Amplifier Combo/Convertible Bass Head at a Glance:
  • Breakthrough convertible combo/head design
  • Loaded with the latest in Mesa/Boogie's bass know-how

Breakthrough convertible combo/head design
Okay, so the Mesa/Boogie Walkabout Scout is loaded up with 300 watts of that luscious tube tone you've been wanting — but it offers it up with a cool twist. You can use the Mesa/Boogie Walkabout Scout as the potent 1x12" bass combo amplifier that it is — perfect for gigging, recording, jamming... whatever you want. But when the moment calls for a blistering 300-watt bass combo head, you're ready for it. That's because, with just a screwdriver you can quickly take the Mesa/Boogie Walkabout Scout's head out of the base, freeing you for direct recording or full-stack madness. How cool is that?

Loaded with the latest in Mesa/Boogie's bass know-how
As if the innovative head/combo trick wasn't enough, Mesa/Boogie went ahead and loaded the Walkabout Scout with all of their rave-worthy bass technology. Inside, is their high-performance tube-driven MOSFET power block, and their unique down-firing Passive Radiator for shocking hugeness. You can take charge of your sound using Mesa's Player Control Network, which features a selectable 3-point crossover (3k/3k/5k), a horn attenuator, and instant-reset horn protection. Add everything together, and you'll be thinking nothing but Walkabout Scout.

The Mesa Scout has been around a few years now and there were a lot of reviews out there to read, virtually all favorable. For a small 112 cabinet this thing kicks it out better than anything else its size, and has no trouble keeping up with a drummer and two moderately loud guitarists. For bigger gigs, buy a bigger amp. But this will serve you well for everything else. It's expensive but very well made and an amp you'll want to keep. close [-]

I bought my Mesa bass amp 12 years ago after playing everything on the market. Only the Mesa delivered the tone and power I need for the diverse styles I play.
