Wow! Probably the best bass amp feature video I've ever seen. It's like a video manual with sound! Good variety of styles referenced & each knob & function of the amp is addressed quickly and clearly. Great job, folks! I dig the tuner outlet at the foot controller feature - smart! The no-load protection is cool as well in a tube amp.

Great Job in the demo! Now i know what I'm getting for Christmas!

I own one of these with a powerhouse 410. Magnificent! No complaint, it will give you everything tonally you could want.

I’m definitely getting one so when my friend come over they have something to keep themselves busy.

Holy crap, sounds immense with that jazz bass.

Great video, I liked KT88 tubes ever since ... Great sound....

Thanks, Caleb. It is a passive, cut only only control just like the rest of Mesa's original tube line.

I'm gonna buy one, after the summer when i have money from my summer job :D

Nice, +Tobias TK ! Rock on.

Despite my UK pricing moaning I gave in and bought one. Cor Blimey guvnor it's good! Excellent tone and very loud.

Good gawd that tone is delicious (nice basses to start)!

I love this amp...sounds spectacular with my Alembic basses!

The Prodigy really sounds great doing both clean and dirty, however combined with the F Bass BN5 in this vid the Prodigy sounds damn near flawless! One of the best amp demo vids I have seen, thanks Mesa!

i wish these tube heads would still be available new :) tones and power for eons :)

If I remember correctly, that's Tien's Aerodyne right? Great demo for a great amp.

It sounds and looks amazing, but I expect nothing less from Mesa. How exactly does the Mid control work? Is it strictly a cut?

Is the Strategy review coming soon?

@@bflo1000 i've figured out that power tubes cost roughly 1USD per watt. so per watt, kt-88's cost the same as any other power tube. it's just that they're 50 watts. you'd have to buy two 6l6's in their place. but that's something buyers need to bear in mind; replacing tubes on this amp in a year is going to cost every bit of 250 USD! Its why i wouldn't get a strategy, can't afford to replace tubes in it every year. lol. at least in the US. i assume tubes are more expensive in places like Australia and South America where everything is more expensive. actually some of those South American countries make some killer amps. looking at you Brazil and Panama!

​@@bflo1000 fair enough. it's definitely my dream bass amp. i love the breakup and saturation on it, but at it's price and upkeep expenses it's not for everyone. I'm also using it exclusively for studio work too. so our applications might be different. but bass tone is so important to be not just great sounding, but also the right sound for the right band or song. so i don't have any hard feelings about people picking different bass tones. I"m sure there's good reasons for you to pick something else.

@mesaboogie

Hiskrumian - This is very hard to say since it depends on so many different variables. The Prodigy is MUCH louder than what most people tend to expect from 250 watts. That said, you really have to audition the amp for yourself to make sure. Granted, anytime you have a bigger gig where there is a PA & monitors, it's easy to run a little extra bass into the monitors to make up for gigs where the amp doesn't have enough power or you don't have enough cabinet. Hope this helps!

Hi Daniel - Any of our cabinets are designed to work well with any of our amps. It's more a matter of what cab size you want and what kind of music you play, how loud you need to be etc. The bigger the cabinet, the better the sound in most cases but you can contact our customer service department to discuss it more in depth to help you with what might work best! www.mesaboogie.com/US/info.html

Could not incorporate them with the auto speaker connections that protect the amp from a no-load situation, IntelligentView. We most certainly otherwise would have but the no load protection was more important given that it's a tube amp with immense power. Hope this helps and thanks for your question. :)

Decent enough demonstration, besides the fact they never pushed the power amp tubes with the Master control, they never got it past 12:00. That's where the BALLS are man, that's why the two sound clips with the guys playing with pics sounded like real donkey. Got to push those power tubes. I would like to hear some real volume in this controlled sound environment. Freaking Sweet amp though i'm saving my Obama pennies.
