Mesa Boogie Subway D-800+ | Bass Head

Ladies and gentlemen, we are extremely excited to announce the re-introduction of Mesa Boogie amplifiers into the United Kingdom! Originally founded back in 1971, Mesa Boogie quickly established themselves as a real force to be reckoned with in the tube amp game. Under the careful guidance of legendary amp builder Randall Smith, Mesa Boogie would go on to drastically alter the world of music and quickly became the original "boutique" amplifier brand. When players like Carlos Santana, James Hetfield, John Petrucci and Dave Grohl choose your amps, you know you must be doing something right! Back in 2021, our friends over at Gibson acquired the Mesa Boogie brand and promised to take their iconic designs to new heights. Headed up by Master Designer Randall Smith, this new era of Mesa Boogie promises incredible tone and unprecedented reliability.

Are you a bass player who craves unparalleled tonal control and seamless integration with outboard signal processing? This powerhouse amplifier takes everything loved about the acclaimed D-800 model and takes it a step further.

What sets the D-800+ apart is its enhanced preamp features. With a comprehensive EQ section boasting Semi-Parametric sweepable LOW and HIGH MID Bands, you'll have unprecedented control over your bass tone. Whether you're dialling in deep, resonant lows or crisp, cutting highs, the D-800+ empowers you to sculpt your sound with precision.

But that's not all - the D-800+ also introduces exciting new additions to its arsenal. Avoid dull, lifeless tone with the BRIGHT switch, which adds a touch of sparkle and definition to your sound. Need to clean up your low-end or carve out space in the mix? The adjustable HIGH-PASS Filter lets you tailor your bass frequencies with ease, offering control from 30Hz to 150Hz.

And let's talk about connectivity. The Rear Panel of the D-800+ is a playground for bassists, featuring a Series Effects Loop, Tuner Output, and 1/4" MUTE footswitch jack. Whether you're incorporating effects pedals, tuning up between sets, or muting your signal on the fly, the D-800+ has you covered.

The fully-featured excellence of the D-800+ delivers in spades. Experience nuance-rich tone, staggering power and headroom, and a level of flexibility and portability that will ignite your musical inspiration.
