As has been noted some of the TX/TVX cabs are on the heavy side compared to more modern cabs but if you are young and injury free, you can take a manual handling course with the money you save buying Peavey gear. I should qualify this by stating that I have owned a variety of Peavey gear over the years (inc' all of the OP suggestions with the exception of the newer Nitro/Firebass stuff) and tbh you'd be hard pushed to justify spending x4 the cash on 'better' stuff... saying that when you have the means, then you just do! [/quote] Totally agree with all of above and have been a peavey user myself in the past. Also to be considered,If they come up for sale, rack megabass head or T Maxx head.All will do a fine job for relatively little money.And always seem to be very reliable. Hope this helps.

An old SM400 with bi-amp and you can pick them up for reasonable money. You have 200watts per side into 4 ohms...so a bit low-powered maybe these days.. SM500 is 250 watt per side. Eden do the same as well..not sure of the models... or the pre-amp route, a DB680 with x-over outs into any stereo power amp That way you can control the freqs into which cab..upto a point from the amp..and also the power output..[/quote] Eden models WT600 and WT800 have in built variable crossover and stereo power amp sections.I use these features on my rig ,flipping in between full range and bi-amp,which normally gets the sound i want. Older peavey megabass rack heads had these facilities as well and can be picked for quite reasonable money.

Just a thought for some people who have active basses.I thought I had developed a new buzzing fault on low notes,thought I had speaker problems ............................. turns out it was a battery about to expire!two new batteries later and it sounds as lovely as it ever did.

I saw him at the last brighton bass day at the `portland`.An absolutely monster player,I picked up loads of chops and tips from that!Always worth a listen wherever he`s playing.If you have not heard of him check him out .............. you really will not be disappointed!

I`ve owned peavey 4 X 10 cab in past and they are great cabs for money! very reliable and don`t sound too bad either!! good luck!!

Loved his work with Roxy Music also[/quote] just another shout for alan spenner who also did greaseband/joe cocker but also the fantastic band `kokomo`

I use an eden 2 X 12 XLT now and then on its own.worth a look and my one is 4 ohms ...... just a suggestion! regards

Gumtree.com has a small artist /musician section which you can filter for your area.It`s relatively new but maybe there`s other musos nearer you ........... worth a try? good luck!
