Peavey MegaBass Club

[Count Bassie]

Way to go! Mine literally looks like it sat at the bottom of a pond for a few months. But it works great.

I joke the same way about the one I recently got and had fixed up...

I've got one, also had one years ago. I remember they have a signature I really like, I haven't played this one lately.
This one I got for dirt cheap from a guy out on the Cape who'd had it stored in a garage for ten years. I bright it to my amp guy and he installed a new Pulse Width Modulator Chip and cleaned it up. It's still got the old rusty jack nuts and screw heads.
Anyway I have too many amps and one of them is going... Either a GK 400RB or the Mega. I really miss the lush sound of the Megabass, and the GK doesn't really quite do that. But the GK does have that rail-hitting thing, and I've been playing with a lot of grit and growl lately.
Anyway, here's the old dawg...

I'm keeping the Mega. The GK will move to a new appreciative home, and I've still got the 700RB- I use that for the Doom project.
I have gone sentimental for the lush, punchy sound of the Megabass, with that cool signature.

I have had this since the late 80's paired it with the 1820 cabinet, left in storage for years recently sent it to Peavey for a check up , sounds amazing with the markbass cabinets.

Hi,
Require a MOSFET for my Peavey Megabass.

Can anybody assist or provide details of an alternative which can work for “frakenstein” conversion.
