Been working on these series 400 amps for a while I decided I should get some for myself, got the PA-600 a while ago for my DAWless setup, it’s still undergoing restoration, and got a solid deal on this MK III Musician with the 2x15 cab today, and had to scoop it up, it was the last piece I needed too to make a video about the series 400 amps which I’ve been planning. Now it’s time to queue it for the workbench and get it up and running and cleaned up!

Hey y'all, looking to see what would be a good price for this Peavey Bass Mark IV?

I saw this at a pawn and tested it out. It's fully functional and working. It has some cosmetic flaws, but nothing too bad. They're asking $300 and will go down to $250, since they just got it and won't negotiate any more.

I'm working about 3 hours away from my area and wondering if I should take it, or leave it to chance and wait a few till it goes down lower.

I don't NEED IT...but man, that would be cool AF in the corner of my studio to shake the walls.

Any opinions on this set up? Good price? As always, any response is always appreciated, thanks in advance!

P.S. that bad boy is heavy AF! 🤣🤣🤣

I got this from a pawn shop last year and cultists were kind with comments and suggestions.

I bought it loaded with a Fender special design speaker.

The guitar player in the band plugged in with his Schecter. The gain channel was engaged and we had heaven. We moved from a latest-era Bandit 112 to the Bravo immediately.

The bass player tech wizard gave it a once-over and said it looked solid though the circuit design meant it would eat tubes.

We practice weekly for a couple of hours.
We went to a studio for a weekend session. The Bravo was on - and dimed - for 5 hours. It sounded great, aggressive, with a 57 on the speaker.

Hurray for low-watt amps, tube or solid state!

I’ve never owned a Peavey and I’ve found this listed near me. Is it good for gigging psych/alt rock , is it a good pedal platform and is it similar to the Musician/Standard 400 series?

i didn’t get a crazy good deal or anything, but holy shit these XXXs are slept-on. i bought it off of a friend who was selling off some of his old backline gear and i’m not at all disappointed. i wasn’t sure it was for me at first when i tried it through my V30 cab with the damping on the tight setting— it was a little quacky, but i put it in the mid position and there i think it’ll likely stay. been mainly living on the “Crunch” channel, if you can really even call it that. not sure what preamp tubes are loaded in it, but it has a quad of Mesa 6L6GCs in the power section and it roars, plugged straight in! sounds especially ballsy through my 412MS with Sheffield 1290s.

i’ve heard so many times that Bandit 112 should be your first guitar amp, i’m looking forward to get my first guitar amp, and i just saw this post at marketplace, so i would like you to advice me if the actual condition worth the price, it’s about $200 USD.
If it is not, how much should i offer for it?

Scored this today, haven't tried to power it up yet. Supposedly has new tubes. Any info about it? Obviously the speakers aren't original. The fender any good? What is the other one?

Just picked up this amazing set-neck Impact, but it seems there is very little info on this version. I'm waiting for Peavey to get back to me with info from the serial, but I'm impatient (and wanted to share with y'all.)

I'm not quite sure what the zebra Schaller in the bridge is, but it looks like it might be a mid 80s Golden 50?

One man’s trash I guess. I picked up both for free, but the fender is actually trash in comparison.

Saw this listing on FB marketplace this afternoon. Couldn't pass it up. Didn't even bother testing other than seeing they both powered on. Have yet to plug in and play but had to show off the new gear. $80 CAD for both. Drove home like I stole it (feels like I did). I was only really after the century but the chorus is a cool bonus. Any tips for getting a good tone on either?

Just picked up this 1973 classic for $50 not working. 1 blown up cap later and it screams. Came with a pair of Phillips JAN 6L6wgbs, which were worth the asking price any day.

I needed another amp for smaller spaces where bringing a half stack wouldn't make sense. I've been looking for a silver stripe special 212, but I couldn't pass up this deal. No footswitch unfortunately. Where can I find the user manual for this model? All I can find is the one for the silverstripe

Hey everyone, just picked up this Transtube Supreme last week. Already played a show with it and it killed it.

Anyways, I’m wondering if I can use a normal 1 button footswitch instead of the 2 button that’s compatible? I only need to change channels, I don’t need to have a toggle for the effects loop for my purposes. Anyone know if this is possible? Looking to put my footswitch for the amp on my pedal board and would make a big difference in real estate using a 1 button vs a 2 button.

Also, anyone mod these cosmetically? Different grill cloth, knobs, etc? I’m thinking about swapping the knobs to white chicken head knobs like on the valveking or 3120.

Thanks for the advice!

Keep having an issue where I power in to play and the volume will randomly drop.

The. Randomly it’ll go back to normal and then drop again.

I had the power sponge to 1 since I live in a studio apt. But it will be at a decent level and start acting up.

Any suggestions? Is this a job for deoxit?
