  • Mesa Big Block Head

    Mesa says, "750 Watts of Crushing Low End!"



    (click images for larger view)

    From the Mesa Website:

    The Big Block 750™ from Mesa Engineering

    Bassists who Rock gotta have the Big Block. And here it is...

    Answering your demands for a rig bad enough to anchor our Recto’s wall of gain, here is 750 watts of crushing fundamental. Pure and Mean.

    Simplicity rules this front panel. No high-tech overkill between you and fast, fat tone. Straight-ahead circuitry delivers instant attack with massive authority. Just the brutal, potent truth, served up with mighty attitude.

    Our exclusive Simul-State™ technology provides all-tube performance from Input jack right up to the dual MOSFET power blocks.



    A classic all-tube tone stack is augmented by an additional Active Mid with a sweepable Frequency control. This lets you zero in on the precise region of attack to let you drive the band where it needs to go.
