OldGit Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) A rare opportunity ... For sale: my really fabbo Peavey BAM 210 combo. My solid main rig since 2003 or so. Only now superseded by light stuff (MB / Schroeder) as my back is moaning... It's great but it's not the lightest combo on the block. 350 [b]Loud[/b] Peavey watts on its own or 500 with an extension cab. There's reams of info on this box as it is one of the best of the emulator combos when it was current. Very few made it to the UK and they very rarely come up for sale. Start here: [url="http://www.peavey.com/products/browse.cfm/action/detail/item/102868/number/00456360/cat/11/begin/1/BAM%3F+210.cfm"]Peavey Bam 210 Product page. [/url] The wheels are different on mine. It has the trolley dolly thing. [url="http://www.peavey.com/products/demos/bam210.cfm"]Stu Hamm demonstrates the stuff it can do on the Peavey Website[/url] [url="http://www.bgra.net/2004/review.php?id=312&type=combo"]BGRA review (by me in 2004 - warts and all)[/url] [url="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Peavey-Bam-210-Bass-Combo-?sku=481377&src=3SOSWXXA"]Musician's Friend Specs and reviews - it's discontinued though ...[/url] [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Bass+Amp/product/Peavey/BAM+210+Combo/10/1"]Harmony Central Reviews "I've been playing for 21 years .." etc[/url] It comes with 16 factory set channels and 16 user channels for your own settings. Each of these also has a "B" setting you can switch to. So that's like 32 channels. Oh and midi too ... It can do a very passable impression of many a great amp and cab including an SVT + 8x10, Acoustic 360 + 1x18 (outstanding!), Fliptop + 1x15 (James Jamerson's stage rig), Eden, Hartke, Redhead etc. or you can mix 'em up and have a 500 watt Fender bassman through a 8x10 try that with the real thing... The sounds are allegedly better than those from things like the Boss GT6B footboard as they are integrated into the combo and its "nutrally tuned" enclosure. This adds no colour to the sound and gives a closer emulation. It also has a tuner, loads of digital effects and a compressor built in, all with a sparkly and sometimes spectacular light show on the front panel. The whole lot is programmable and then switchable between 32 variations via the footboard that comes with it. It's also got the equally rare and exotic Peavey cover. No storage room and the need to pay for the Schroeder demands that this goes to a nice home where it will be appreciated - or just someone with the right amount of dosh. A review from the Musician's friend website: "A friend recommended the Bam 210 by Peavey to me & I have been blown away with the amount of amp this is for the money. The sound is so clean & amazing, the features are many. I needed a studio amp that I could hear over live drums. The bam keeps on delivering. I'm thrilled with it. I couldn't be happier. Stunning.

Russ Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Buy it... I was going to, but circumstances have dictated otherwise. They sound HUGE, there's an SVT, an Eden Navigator, an SWR SM-400 and any combination thereof in there... do the Old Git a favour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftySteve Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 As someone who has also owned one of these I can only say to anyone looking for a high power combo ... you will have to look long and hard to find one better than the BAM 210! This is modelling at it's best in my opinion and it would have ruled the world if only Peavey had not overpriced it at the time of release! Tempted?... you bet I am!
