I've had numerous Peavey rigs over the years and can post pictures of previous ones if desired, but here is my current one:

Here are some older Peavey rigs I've had:
MegaBass with Headliner 410 and 410 TVX
VB-2 with 215D - wish I kept this one!
VB-2 with Pro Tour 410 (horrible cabinet) with Millennium 5 Plus
ProBass 1000 preamp
IPR1500 power amp with 410TVX (ADA MB1 preamp)

I use the little brother to this, the Tour 450; I'm happy with it. It's reasonably light enough and kicks well enough for any stage I play on when, FOH support isn't available.View attachment 3185282
Not mine, but I have played my Peavey bass through it a few times
It's for sale locally, I'd probably buy it if I had the cash.
Our sound guy has been using it to ease the load on his PA, it's certainly loud enough!
With the exception of a Crate amp 30 years ago, I've been using Peavey amps, PA's ever since. I've had a 1978 Mark 3 forever.. I ran it into a 412 until I let our guitarist use it (cab) and I moved to this 1810. My Max 115 is currently lending its service to my cousin who's learning. I miss my T-40. Weighed a ton.. I also had coated strings on it for awhile -Super smooth sound. Finally found my '400 recently and it's a true monster! Its my mid life crisis excuse
just saw a mace 212 combo that I'm interested in trying for a dirt tone along with my mesad800+ with either my peavey model212 scooped cab or gk neo 412 for clean
Very cool! I'm on the hunt for a VB-MA myself. If you ever want to sell...
I currently have my VB-3 and 2x10TVX for most gigs, but have a 4x10TVX and 1x15BVX stack for those whumpa thumpa gigs!
My very first bass amp was a TNT combo. I have definite soft spot for the 3620 and 1820 cabs but don't own any. This is a back up rig I've had for years but have never needed to use it. I just turn it on every now and then and make sure it works. If someone wanted any of it I could be persuaded.
Nice! Yeah played through many TNTs but never owned one. This is now my "backup rig" more so for the reason its simply too large for my needs, but would never sell it. It stays in the basement for the rehersal space!
Yo ho ho!

I bought this head 25 years ago and have been impressed with the amount of abuse it can handle.
I'm glad I was able to kick start this thread again. I love seeing all the Peavey rigs! Plus Im looking to buy a VB-MA so interacting with the Peavey enthusiasts on here is a big plus!
I recently scored a $50 Basic 112 amp that was making all sorts of buzzing which thankfully was a cold solder joint at the input jack.
After nearly 20 years with my MAX700, i took it apart to clean out the dust with my air compressor.
My main recording bass is a Grind 6 NTB with EMG 45DCs and BQS System running on 18VDC.

My first big rig was a Peavey Mark IV head and Peavey 2x15 cab. 3 years later, an Acoustic 370 head replaced the Peavey, and in the mid-'80s a pair of Music Man 1x15s replaced the cab.
In 2017, the leader of a band I was in found a pair of TNT combos in his neighbor's trash. One had a 15" speaker, and the other was smaller (a 12"?). The bigger one became his basement rehearsal space bass amp, and it sounded surprisingly good, once I got some wiring fixed.
Edit: I almost forgot... Almost 10 years after I sold it, I saw my Mark IV head sitting in a Boston music store, with my last name still stenciled on it! It was a little surreal. I almost bought it out of sentimentality, or because the bass gods were clearly telling me that I needed to use it again... But then I came to my senses and walked out.

Peavey rig porn ?? OK, I'll play. This was my rig for about a dozen years back when I wore a younger man's clothes . . . a Peavey Pro 500 head with a DBX noise gate into either (or both) a Pro 210 or Pro 410 cab.
