I simply don't associate the Peavey brand with expensive. Well built, functional, reliable, yes, but I suspect that anyone looking to spend that much money would have too much (US-built) choice to opt for the Peavey?
Feel free to make offers, I'm having something of a gear clear-out at present, and if you haven't used one of these before, they are extremely useful practice tools, and with a little bit of experimentation are also good for live and recording 👍
I'm very happy to take sensible offers on this as I'm looking to fully insulate/soundproof a cabin once this has gone, and over and above needing the unit out of the way (it's pretty big), I kinda need the proceeds from selling the booth it to pay for the cabin materials
Gigged my Ashdown Drophead 200 head with a Mesa 1x15 and Mesa 16 (1x10, 2x6) and if bandmates and audience are to be believed, the effect in the room was at times visceral. The Drophead is not the most versatile of units by comparison with my Mesa heads, but it does has something rather special lurking in the glass 👍
You don’t need to really - or at least it would be a lot of work for little real gain given that to manage output you can balance the G/D and A/E poles with PUP height, and in doing so some of the tone imbalance would at the same time be resolved (and of course by swapping PUP arrangement you’d probably introduce different tone issues) 👍
....I'd also let her know in no uncertain terms that, having first spoken to your solicitor, you will within the bounds of the law name and shame on social media
I'd get @d_g to do a light relic finish so that the bass retains a sense of 'well-played but generally well-maintained '74....', he's somewhere between a scientist and an artist when it comes to finishes 👍
