Peavey Alphabass 160w valve amp - *SOLD* £350 Bolton

[Pow_22]

Peavey Alphabass - 160w valve bass amp with 2ohm and 4ohm ouputs.  Comes with Peavey rackbag.

I sourced original knobs for this as part of a restoration.  Power valves are matched JJ 6L6GC from hotrox and have around 5hrs use.  The preamp valves are original Brimars.  Amp works perfectly with an excellent DI for bigger venues (not that 160 valve watts should need FOH help!)

 

Pictures show fan removed as i have bought a rubber gasket to sit between the fan and amp shell to reduce noise.  This will all be fully fitted before collection for you.

 

Collection only from Bolton.  Trials welcome but you’ll need to bring your own suitable cab as mine is still at our locked down studio space.  Have basses to use tho.

 

Only selling as something special has come up. If that goes ill be withdrawing this

Outstanding amp.  Valves, 'Big Iron', vintage Peavey build quality and 'real human size' components that can be repaired (in the highly unlikely event). What is not to like?

....That’s a Whole Lotta Valves! (In a LED Zep Styley!)

BUMP!

[Pow_22]

 Certainly is, luckily 6L6GCs are reasonably cheap, this set set me back around £120 as opposed to the £200+ you are talking to revalve an SVT’s power section

[Pow_22]

My cab should be here in the next day or two (finally) so testing back to normal rather than lugging your cab over

Tempting, PM sent

Speculative Pm sent

I have my cab back from our lockup finally so the amp can be tested, heard, felt, sniffed (we all like sniffing hot valve amps right?) with my bass or yours. Offers always considered. No trades though im afraid.

 

just fired it up and its sounding righteous 👌

[Pow_22]

Few queries regarding its working condition. I filmed a short iphone vid showing the amp firing up from scratch. Couldnt play much whilst holding the phone but gives an idea of it working and giving an honest perception of the fan noise

On hold pending usual
