Hand cart would be best IMO, because you could use it for a lot of other gear as well. The only issue is stairs.

Ugh yeah, tried getting it out after a gig in a bar's basement, almost killed myself and my dad.
Did you check the bottom to see if the receptacles for the casters are already there? Most of the big amps and cabs came with casters from the factory. I think casters would be best as you don't have to worry about it falling off the cart and it makes it very easy to move. Doesn't affect the sound at all using it with the casters attached.
I'd still own this rig today if the head didn't weigh 93 lbs and each cab was another 90 lbs. This was one of the best sounding rigs I've ever owned.

ha ha yeah no doubt, I use a 1-15 Trace elliot cab and it is plenty loud, I don't even think using another cab stacked even makes any sense...I can't turn up past 2 as it is...and my gain is almost all the way down too, I've been told I'm too loud now. I'm sure adding a couple of 10s to it would round out my sound a little more, but then I have active eq for that. I'm good with my rig as it stands now..my next buy is going to be a compressor...
Thanks. It sounds great. Definitely a Thunderbird vibe to it. Very solid in the lo mids to mids with a bit of a modern type sizzle to it. It has a blend knob that seems almost like a 5 way switch. In the middle it is ts most Thunderbird-ish. Roll it just a smidge to the neck and it gets a little darker and then roll it all the way and it is P-bass like but pulling back the tone gets you closer to Gibson EB sounds. Turning the blend back to the bridge gives more of a Jazz tome and the bridge pickup solo is not too trebly but definitely less bassy.
Overall a very versatile bass. It feels like a short-scale even though it is 34" scale and is very light so no problems playing it all night. I love it.
I was on a trip to glacier this summer, and I got an idea while I was watching the traffic go by. I saw a lot of trucks with these kinds of screens on their front grills as a bug screen, and I thought to myself, "That'd look kind of cool on my Peavey's cover..."
Something like this:
I'm expecting some ridicule for this, but what do people think: Yea or Nay?

@murph7489 That bass is a Tune TWB something 5er. I got it for a steal of a deal because someone drilled holes in the top. Then one night the strap broke and the bass went flying and crashed off of the edge of the stage further "relicing" it! So it's my great sounding road dog bass ready for any old dive gig. I think these Tune basses are a bargain for the quality and tone they bring. I love the preamps in them. As good as any top notch pre and a little different flavor than my Audere or Bart Pres.

Around 2011 I gave my Acoustic B115 and my ‘80 Mark III to my nephew.
He wasn’t using it...I recently got it back.
I bought two of these heads in 1980, the one shown is one of them,

The mark bass didn't get a look in and was on top for backup duty. One for the peavey lovers 
still working on converting them here in Holland......
