Never thought I'd say this but I MISS my old Peavey TNT 115 combo. I just...utterly dislike my GK rig right now. It's just the head but the cabs are fine they sound awesome. The tonal freedom it gives me just blows! No matter how much I change it you can barely tell the difference.
I'm now looking for a peavey (or anything other than GK) head about 300-500 watts around Illinois and Indiana. If anyone could recommend a head, please don't hesitate.
And what gear have you all been missing, I know we all want back atleast our first bass

To the OP, sometimes I think we just get used a sound and then nothing else sounds like reverie.

I dislike the weight of my rigs, and that is about it. over 500 pounds to move all my PV gear. |

|  | was that a snowball? | | | | | The only piece of my rig I don't like is the cable that runs from my pedalboard to my head. It's five years old, and the plastic insulation is just as stiff as the day I bought it. It also has encapsulated plastic jacks that are well made, but look cheap. Easy enough to replace, but I can never think to pick up a different one... |

I used to have a Peavey T-MAX amp that was pretty beat up I got for cheap. It sounded great but looked like it survived a war....barely. Many knobs were broken off and I used a little nail to set some of the controls where they needed to be. I eventually sold it and man did I miss that thing. I eventually found another one in almost like new condition from a guy who took impeccably great care of his equipment. I bought it, still use it all the time and I miss nothing now. |

I gigged a pair of T-Max's for a couple of years, and they were great amps - one of Peavey's best, IMO...

Otherwise, absolutely love the Music Man + Mesa tone.
