THE WALKABOUT® SCOUT™ CONVERTIBLE BASS COMBO. IT’S A HEAD. IT’S A COMBO. IT’S BOTH. AND EITHER WAY, THE TONE IS HUGE
Yet this is one petite rig. Start with the WalkAbout® head: 300 watts, 13 lbs., an all-tube preamp and our proprietary Simul-State™ Power featuring a tube Driver and mosfet Power Block. Then, dock all that musical performance within our Scout™ Radiator Combo Cabinet and you have an incredible one-trip hybrid Bass rig offering the best of tube and mosfet characteristics in one super-versatile package. Warm, round, huge, old-school Tone may be its most-described attribute, but its portability is likely enjoyed by players just as much.
CONVERTIBLE; TONE FOR ALL SEASONS
In minutes, and armed with only a screwdriver, you can convert the WalkAbout Scout from a featherweight combo to a small gig-bag sized head. This flexibility allows you to configure your rig to the venue, the musical style and demands, or even just your mood, in short order…right up to sound check.
DOWN-FIRING PASSIVE RADIATOR; FILLS THE ROOM WITH BASS, NOT THE STAGE WITH GEAR
Scout™ cabs boast a unique down-firing Passive Radiator. The low-end down-force of the Scout Combo and Scout Extension Cabinets’ down-firing passive radiator amplifies the cabinet volume to produce a Bass sound of unusual size for a footprint this small. For great sound you need great speakers and in the Scout Line we use proprietary Scout drivers with unmistakable MESA® quality. The Scout Combo utilizes an 8” Passive Radiator while the extra space in the Scout Extension allows us to squeeze in a 10” Radiator.
PLAYER CONTROL™ NETWORK; HIGHS, YOUR WAY
The Scout Line of cabinetry features our versatile Player Control™ Network. This powerful voicing feature provides 3 selectable crossover points (3k / 4k / 5k), and a premium rotary Attenuator for the High Frequency Driver along with Instant Reset Horn Protection. Select the most appropriate region of harmonics and top-end accentuation for the musical style your playing, then dial in the desired amount of that region with the smoothly graduated Attenuator.
