**Trades on hold temporarily as something has come up that im looking to fund**

Just trying to be honest (under promise, over deliver) and all that. Particularly after I bought it as 'fully working and serviced' despite 4 of the power valves being useless!

Battered looking but fully functional and recently fully re-valved Peavey Alphbass 3u rackmountable bass head. 6 x 6L6GC (JJ) 3 x 12AX7 (NOS Brimar) 1 x 12AT7 (NOS Brimar Military spec yellow label) Putting out 160 watts into 4ohm or 2ohm. All the EQ slider tips are missing but all remain fully functional and present (none sheered off or anything). Knobs were all replaced with soft rubber replacements previously. Ive used this with an Ashdown 1510 cab and a flats loaded P bass and it sounds amazing. The volume goes from quiet, to loud, to wall rumbling, foundation moving levels. Fans a bit noisy at startup but not remotely noticeable once playing. Never let me down since ive had it. Good DI too that ive used to record several times. Some say these were Peaveys take on the Mesa D-180 I bought this for £250 off Reverb where it was described as ‘’fully working and serviced’’. When it arrived it was clear the power valves were ancient, 3 were loose on their bases and one had clearly lost its vacuum. The pre-amp valves were incorrect too as 2 of them were 12AT7’s and there was a 12AX7 in the position that should be 12AT7!!! I ordered a full matched set of JJ 6L6GC’s from Hotrox for about £120 (if memory serves) and loaded them in along with some NOS pre-amp valves (brimar - another £80) and fired it up. Worked flawlessly since and recently had our guitarist tech run it through his meter to get it fully biased up. Why am I selling - well, my band are embarking on a mini tour of rough pubs and clubs, shared backline, with minimal set up time and gear being stored in a van. Normally id buy a cheap back up ( I have something in the pipeline on here) and keep the Peavey but in all honesty I guess I just want something now that I can throw in the back of a car and not worry too much about valves and the little bit of extra 'molly coddling' that comes with a nice valve amp. Plus any residual funds left after the sale of this and buying of said cheaper amp can fund my GAS for a bison bass So, in summary - if you are looking for a pristine factory fresh valve amp, this isn’t for you. But if a “tour/roadworn” looking but fully functional 160w all valve amp for £350 collected from Bolton (or could deliver within reasonable distance) tickles your pickle then give me a shout. Few basic pics here and more to follow....

SOLD ELSEWHERE

if this can be collected or willing to meet within reasonable distance ill take £300 with it being so close to xmas :)

Price drop to £325 posted in UK or meet up if reasonably local. Also trade for a black epiphone jack casady (possibly the gold one at a push)

On hold for Mart

Have an "if you were closer id have this" bump

Ampeg SVT Tube DI Box (ex Kaiser Chiefs – not that ive factored that into the pricing, just a bit of cool history I guess). I used this to record, send signal to FOH live and also as a subtle ‘effect’ using the through option to warm up the sound into a solid state amp. Works perfectly and looks really cool to. I bought this directly from Simon Rix of the Kaiser Chiefs in a standard gear acquisition ‘motorway services meet up’. However, ive been using the DI on my valve amp recently and to fund a service of said amp this needs to go. This is the ‘Vacuum Tube Direct Injection’ one not the Microphone DI that you see more commonly. Nice weighty and sturdy bit of kit, be great for a home studio type set up. Couple of grazes but works perfectly. Comes with a Groove Tubes 12au7 and can throw in a kettle lead if needed. £200 - Collection from Bolton (though the pedal is currently at our rehearsal space in Chorley) preferred or could meet up within reasonable distance. If postage is required I can work out costings. Better/more pictures to follow

SOLD

Plonked this atop of our rehearsal rooms Ampeg 8x10 last night for a giggle. Holy Moly!!!!!!!!!!! Still picking bits of my ribs out of my lungs, what a sound! With my flats loaded P bass it was like a freight train to the chest! :) Would very much be open to trades/part ex on a black Epiphone Jack Casady bass....

Possibly, prefer cash but i am partial to precision basses and semi hollow basses

SOLD

Sorry for the delay in replying and getting pictures sorted, been away on my honeymoon for my sins 🤣 Please see pics, if collecting ill let the cab go for £100

New amp has arrived so I have packing materials if that makes this any more enticing? Can do £350 posted within UK?
