DISC Mesa Boogie M6 Carbine Bass Head

Full Description

Unleash Bass Power

Custom designed Mosfets give the amp its aggressive voicing, when used along with the preamp and driver section, you can acquire a very rich but focused tone – perfect for those Rock riffs. Shaping your sound has never been easier, with standardized controls – Bass, Mid, Treble – across the front panel via the preamp. The M6 has considerable power and can drive cabs to a very high level whilst still maintaining the tonal quality you need to Rock.

Hearing Voices

The M6 features Mesa Boogie’s brilliant VOICE tone control. For quick, effective changes during performances, use this feature to change global settings and give your bass playing the rich tone it deserves. Just like presets for your bass tone - you can fine-tune them to your heart's content.

For example, if you want to dip the Midrange then use options 1 and 2 for warm but fundamentally different tones. Perfect for Blues or Jazz, giving the rest of the band a low-end cushion to play along with. Voices 4 and 5 boost the Mids which makes it amazing at playing technically articulate Rock bass lines. These foundational controls give you a great position to start crafting your tone.

Push and Pull

The Pull Deep feature on the M6 gives you even more command over the bass frequencies. When it’s pushed in you get a tight tone and when it’s pulled out you get warm lows and highs. It changes the fundamental harmony of the Bass dial which means you can use it as a means to control the deepest part of your sound.

The DI and Master controls provide excellent output control over your tone. The DI Level gives you pre and post tone controls to help mixing desk tone shaping. The Master control is pull pot too, it mutes the amp especially for tuning when activated. Mesa Boogie have squeezed as much as they can into the M6.

The streamlined controls on the M6 set it apart from its contemporaries. It’s the perfect amp for obtaining the tone you want with ease and speed.
