Bandit 65 Update and a Question.
So I posted here a few days ago about a pawn find Peavey Bandit 65 Solo Series, and got a lot of good feedback. Amazing group!
So this is just an update. I cleaned it out and had plans of cleaning her up extremely well, but...I found a Peavey Classic 50 4x10 and I fell in love. It's perfect for what I'm currently recording and shifting funds over that route.
I did open the Bandit up, cleaned everything on the inside, deoxit on the pots, the whole 9, but I veered off course and got "creative on some of the external shortcomings of this Bandit. Hit it with some rattle can I had from a previous project, but...I believe she looks decent. The red pops and added some TOAN GLYPHS on the Scorpion. Cleaned the cone and all the rat poop out. Put her back together and ugh...she sounds good. The sound from these amps is crazy. So I have her close to my Valve King and TWD guitar I picked up at a pawn too. Yes, I'm a Pawn Rat. 🤣
So now the question I have for y'all.
I hear a lot of y'all talk about colored stripes. I jumped into the Peavey game when they had the Delta on amps and cabs I used for DJing. Man, I love the equipment that when I jumped back into guitars...and found this sub, I had to start collecting. I'm just not too sure about the colored stripes. Teals, Red, Silver...Google states something about years, but I believe it's a little more than that. Would it be an upgraded version of a model or a better equipped model? Say Reg Mustang to a Cobra variant?
Again, I want to start collecting and I see old Peavey's that y'all post here, at the pawns for cheap, I just don't fully understand the whole stripes thing. Any knowledge would be great! thanks in advance!
