Peavey TNT 100

[thunderbird&eb-3_564]

Local music store is selling one for $90 and I need a bigger amp and I'm on a pretty tight budget, anyways I played it with my p bass( string with flats) and a jazz bass they had and it sounded decent but before I decide on whether to get it or not I wanted hear what people think about it that have used one live and with a band before thanks in advance!

Go for it. Used Peavey combos are the best bang for the buck out there.

I have one I bought back in 1978. A bad solder connection came loose in 1984, and it hasn't had a problem since. Moved to 7 different states, tough as a tank. You can't go wrong with them!!

My first bass amp ever was one of those heavy old peavey combos. A TNT 115 if I remember correctly.

It was awesome! If you can deal with the weight they are fantastic amps.

Ok I'm going to get it I just can't pass it up for $90 hopefully I can get at least a years worth of heavy use out of it, and who knows I might use it longer then I plan to if it gets the job done each time I need to rely on it!

I played a TNT-150 for years before it was stolen best amp I ever played through If I come across one I am snatching it up you cant go wrong here. 50 watts less won't be that much of a difference go for it

I gigged a TNT150 for years,dropped it down a huge staircase and it worked without a hiccup.
I wish I had thought to put castors on it though...

I agree with everyone else. I got called to sub at a gig a few weeks ago and they had an old TNT 100 combo for me to play. It was great. I've played through a bunch of them (never owned one) and even when eq knobs pop or the Volume pots are scratchy it doesn't matter. The ones that are really trashed might need a good hard kick to come to life, but when they do you've got it made.

A friend of mine used to use one in a metal band that had 2 guitar players with Gibson sg's and marshall half stacks and I always heard him over those amps...

The old Peavey combos are really great for the price, for 90 bucks you can't lose.
My practice amp in the early 90's was a TKO 80 and it was one tough amp.
It probably is still working for some bassist out there.

My first (real) bass amp was a TNT 160. That thing was an unstoppable beast. The only negative thing that I can think of is that mine was unbelievably heavy for the size of the cabinet, and it only had one handle on the top.

As for performance, I've played through my 160, a 100 and a 130. All of them sounded good and solid. It could be the best bass gear purchase of under $100 that you will EVER make.
