Peavey T-MAX - 900watts?

[obbm]

I'm in the proces of checking one of these over for another BCer and had a browse through eBay to see what they sell for when I found [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peavey-T-max-bass-amp-900-watt-Awesome-not-fender_W0QQitemZ200145009099QQihZ010QQcategoryZ58719QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]this[/url].

According to the manual these are 500w max output into 2-ohms and I'm not aware of a more powerful version.

Also according to the manual the consumption is 900watts.

Is he mixing his input with his output deliberately in order to hype up this modest little gem or can someone put me right?

I use a T-Max - fantastic amp!!

Its output is 500w at 2 ohms, 350w at 4 ohms and 200w at 8 ohms. You are correct - 900w is the power consumption.

This 'modest little gem' really doesnt need hyping up in the output stakes!!!

+1 for good amps and yes the op is 500 watts. The seller is obviously one of the missing knobs but it is a good price.

I'm watching this to see if it can be picked up for less than £130. I couldn't be bothered to mention it when I asked him about something.

[obbm]

What's the going rate for such a desirable bit of kit?

[G-bitch]

It's only desirable to those in the know

Between £120 and £160 is probably about right.

And that, my friends, would be a [i]brilliant[/i] bona-fide bang-for-buck bargain. How's that for a spot of early morning alliteration?
+1 for a terrific amp.

Extremely eloquent and excellent early morning exposition, I'd say!

Afternoon analysis of amazing alliterative agility..... bloody difficult to keep up!!

Why has he put not Fender in the heading? i know its not, its puzzling me.

[mike257]

It's a classic ebay trick. Stacks of people will search for Fender/Ampeg/Trace and suchlike... and wouldn't find the peavey. Stick "[i]not Fender/Ampeg/Trace[/i]" in the header, and it'll then be picked up in searches for those names, so the number of people who spot your amp increases instantly!! Magic

AKA keyword spamming, which I believe is now banned.

I wish I was as well informed as you. our zole.

I had one of these once too. My second (I think) proper rig. Good amp, I paid about £550 I think at the time. Shame the auction ended early. Wonder what it went for. Seem to remember selling mine with a Peavey 410tvx for about £500 2 or 3 years ago. Price seems to have come down quite a bit since.

Ive just sold mine in a 210 combo - really good amp! Shame to let it go but needed to fund a new rack!!!!
