Peavey TKO 60 vs Peavey Databass

[Kultovbelial]

I just got into playing bass a couple weeks ago and I am loving it. I will be playing with a drummer so I read I needed a 120W amp for that at least. Although I found this Peavey TKO 60 for $80. Many users from this site say they will keep it for years is loud and they have used it in small gigs. Consequently, I decided to go for it and got the amp. I feel very happy with my purchase; however, I checked the market again and found the Peavey Databass for only $50. Did I make a good purchase, any comparison between the two, pros and cons? Thank you guys.

That's a good deal on the TKO, but $50 for a Databass would be an AMAZING deal. It's a legendary sleeper of an amp.

I am proud that I did not spend over a hundred on it, but which one would be better in this case though?

Both are great amps

A Databass with the Black Widow is a lot of amp.
I forget the wattage, Geez I think its around 400 watts or something.

Would be much louder than the TKO

We are still talking single 15" combos.
But the Databass will push a Widow as far as it can go.

And usually a fair bit further It's not uncommon to find Databasses with replacement speakers, they have a reputation for destroying the stock BWs. Luckily, there are plenty of modern replacements that are up to the task.
