Mog Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Trace Elliott and Peavey were the big dogs over here. My neighbour was (still is) a highly regarded pro and he used SWR. That thing sounded like glass even through concrete walls. I think it was a PB-200. He picked up a redhead as soon as they came out ('87 I think). IMO SWR redefined what bass amps could be and were THE brand to have back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBollock Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) [quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1382516057' post='2252982'] I had GAS for Trace gear during the 80's but only ever owned their GP11 pre amp which went into a Peavey power amp feeding a Peavey cab with (i think) 15" 10" & 6" speakers which was so heavy it spent most of it's life in a [b]big caged trolley we pinched for behind a supermarket![/b] Ended the 80's with a more sensible Peavey TNT 150 [/quote] I did that too! In my case it was for my 60s Marshall 4x12. My 13 year old self could only lift it 6 inches off the ground on my own. The local Co-Op had these really heavy duty trolleys that were exactly 6 inches high, short enough to wheel under their back gate. The damned thing squealed like crazy and I got a lot of looks as I pushed it to and from the local youth club for band rehearsals every week.
