    Peavey VTA 400 Super Festival amp head

    Peavey VTA 400 Super Festival Series Tube Amp 1975 | Reverb I've always liked the idea of having one of these, but only recently have I even considered spending the money, so I don't really know the value. Does this one look like a reasonable price? I know these vintage amps are rising in...

    Should I get a new amp?

    Here recently, I made a post about wanting to buy an extension cabinet for my Peavey TNT combo. When I bought it, I got a really good deal at $150. If I were to sell it instead, I figure I'd get my money back 2x or so. With the money from that plus the budget for the extension cab together, I...

    Looking for the right extension cab

    I have a Peavey TNT combo, 1x15. It has the option for hooking up an extension cabinet, to use the full power of the amp. I have a number of questions regarding this. The amp is labeled as 600 watts. I haven't been able to find if this is RMS or peak. Does this mean that all 600 is being...

    Has anyone played the Stash Stainless Bass?

    I heard about this bass a long time ago when it was still in development, and it looked really interesting, so I took a screenshot with my iPhone, and today I was going through my photos and saw it there. I went over to their website, and I found that they are available for purchase now. For no...

    Matching Heads with Cabs

    For a solid state set up, it is all fairly self explanatory, as far as wattage goes. You want a cab that has a higher wattage rating than the amp, commonly said to be about twice as much to be safe. My question is when dealing with tube amplifiers, knowing they are louder per watt than solid...

    Slapping issues

    I've been playing bass for about 2 years, and only in the last 3 months or so have I played around with slapping. I started super simple--octaves on E and D strings. After that, I moved to the A and G strings, and that's where I started having issues. I keep practicing it, but no matter what I...

    DiMarzio DP12s vs Seymour Duncan SJB-2s

    Looking to replace the stock pickups in my 2011 MIM Jazz bass, and I have narrowed it down between these two. They both would be about the same price, and from what I can tell, are pretty similar in tone, and would fit my needs perfectly. Before I made the decision, I wanted to ask any of you...

    Recommended reading for learning how to build my own amplifiers?

    I have a very limited understanding of both amplifiers and the internet. So it has proven difficult for me to educate myself on building amplifiers. If anyone knows of some really thorough, detailed videos or articles or threads, any help is appreciated.

    Slave Amp Question

    I have been playing bass for a couple years now, and just the other day someone was talking about amp slaving. This is the first time I had heard of it. I have two questions about this that I hope you guys could clear up. 1.) Theoretically, would I be getting the same results if I used 2 of...

    Need Help Determining Value of Vintage Find

    A few months ago, I found this beauty of a bass, an old Peavey T-40, in it's original case, and it's in really great shape. It looks like it hasn't been taken out of that case in years. I usually see these things going for $400 or so, but I feel like this one may be more valuable, as it has the...
