How much power does that thing have?
To top it all off, Marco's site said that he uses The 810 TVX cabs with that monster rack!

Have you seen Vince Hornsby's (Sevendust) setup?! He has just about the same setup, but he uses 4 8x10's!
I used to own a TNT130 and I basically hated it, then I bought a 2/10 combo and I basically hated that as well, I agree with earlier posts that described the Peavey tone as lifeless. I bought a SessionBass head as a backup to my SWR SM500 a year ago and I love it. It is loud and it has great tone and flexable EQ.

I read about Vince's setup in the Peavey Monitor magazine. If I recall correctly, he uses the MAX preamp with about three DPC 1400X power amps and those 4 810s that you mentioned. How can he stand in front of that setup?
Peavey amps can be good. But never great.
I had a mk3, my first bass head, which really had no bottom to speak of. I sold it, got an ampeg, then a sunn 300t. Also have a mesa buster. Anything but peavey, please!

PV=HEAVY Too!!
Hey Ebozz, I just tried the BAM210 the other day. I was skeptical going in, but that thing is pretty cool. Not for me, but still cool.

stubi,
My 1000 watt KiloBass head only weighs 15 pounds.
What impressed me about the BAM was how good it sounds without using the effects and amp/cab modeling. It smokes just as 210 combo.
how much do you wanna spend on it. u ,may be lookin for a reel expensive thing but behringer do a 60 watt bass amp fpr like £129
count me in on the peavey club. i've been using a firebass head all year, i've played 7 shows with it and it always amazes me how much i'm getting for how little i paid.

I see a lot of people saying Peavey's have no tonal character and such...
I have failed to notice that.
With my TNT, which I have had about nine months, I can get just about anysound I want out of it, and I am playing a Squier P and an Ibanez GSR200.
When I need a stack, it is probably going to be a Peavey 4x10, 1x15, and a Firebass head.
Peavey 0wnz jo0!

yeah, good point... The only peavey's I've played through are TNT and TKO combos which I really didn't like. Just like finding a Peavey Cirrus bass and judging it just because its 'peavey' I love the cirrus'sOriginally posted by ebozzz
Try the BAM 210 combo and then tell me that your assessment holds true.
I think that you would probably like the T-MAX combo also. Too bad they're not in production any longer. That Combo 115 doesn't sound to bad either. It's not as good as the T-MAX or BAM but it's good.
Here's another vote for the BAM210.
I used to own a TNT130, and had to EQ it to the max to get my 'sound'.
I was an Eden user until my Metro got stolen. The thing that I really liked about Eden was that the 'flat' sound was pretty close to what I liked, so it required very little EQ to get my sound.
I have owned my BAM for about a month now. It sounds more dynamic and musical than the Metro ever did. And, it requires very little tweaking to get my sound. The flat setting is pretty close to what I like.

Peavey man here, well speakers, got a PV 4X10 and PV 2X10. Sound ALRIGHT. I really hate their heads and guitars though.
Actually does anyone think running a PV speaker off an ABM EVO 500 is kinda wasting a good amp on less than worthy speakers?

If/when I ever get a band going, count me in on the Peavey club. I'm looking at the Firebass head and the TVX 412 cab. Nothing like low mids.
