Hey everyone once again have a little bit of a dilemma so I'll turn to the trusty TBer's. I have been keeping my eye out for a new bass head, however in the process of searching I came across a guy who is selling a Peavey 810TVX 8X10 bass cabinet for cheap and in good condition. From the research I have done through Google searches and such on that cab it seems to get great reviews and people saying it is very loud and sounds good (I am in a original rock band who likes to play loud). Here is the thing, I currently own and use a Mesa Powerhouse 6x10 cabinet, I love it, but also possibly selling this cab would allow me to buy the Peavey cab and have some extra money left over to put towards a new head later down the road when I find it. Now am I completely insane to consider selling my Mesa for the 8x10 Peavey? Fire away on your opinions.

I guess it's not 'insane', but I'd caution against it. If you're happy with the Mesa cab, selling it to buy another cab (which you may not like at all), just based on some online reviews, could leave you wishing you hadn't sold the Mesa, and now in the posession of gear you don't dig.

I've never tried the Peavey, but the Mesa 610 I tried sounded really nice.

I'd say to keep saving for a head that compliments the cab you already have and love, rather than just rolling the dice.....
