Look here, there's way more than what I posted. How much of it is speculation vs. what will come to pass is anyone's guess.

I can't go beyond the initial page (no instagram), but I'm impressed. I know it asking too much, but more colors would be nice. Pelham Blue seems to be a good seller on anything. But maybe thins indicates the start of some good thinking. Interesting about the 70s version and how those differ PU wise. Cool stuff. I hope most of it comes to pass.

If Gibson actually releases all of those models I am going to be forced to buy one of them. I did notice the the Gene $immon$ Bird is not listed there.
 
I'm going to have to somehow block you if you don't stop. You're killing me with all the Peavey. :laugh:

:D


Tell us the story, if you haven't and I just haven't got that far yet.

Some people make fun or and look down on Peavey, but any of the older stuff I had/used worked, was reliable and sounded good. What else is needed? And I still like the older classic cab look.

Found it on Craigslist; it's a '90s? Model-115bx BW. Or at least, it was.
P.o. got it in pieces, but with pieces missing, including the original speaker.

He put it back together with an 8-ohm Celestion Pulse 15, the same speaker I used in the older '80s cab, which is why I bought it. Well, that, and because he had it priced for about the same as what I have in the older one.:)


The two of them together sounds pretty great :thumbsup: , and I think I can finally get the Mark IV loud enough to hear it properly :laugh:
 
my favorite interaction with Traynors….:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Yes, I had a bunch of hifi and stereo stuff when I was a kid, Dynaco Stereo 70's, MkIIIs etc. I would still like to get a McIntosh MC-275 someday but unlikely, this pioneer stuff sounds really good though. Messy of course. I have modern speakers with it though, Monitor 500 Bronze with double 8" woofers, got to hear that bass :D

reel to reels really hold their market value because so many are used to digitize tape…fixed my buddy’s Studer when in europe last….swiss/german engineering….what beautiful machines….

It won't. That's not from Gibson. Just some guys' wishful thinking.
 
I find it hard to believe if these happen, they’ll be crazy enough not to use the Alnico pickup in the ‘21 NR. Scott’s opinion aside, I really like the new pickups. But if they don’t, one would only need to buy one Thunderbucker.

some really sweet stuff there if it’s legit.

Kara is just a prepper. She knows that nothing outlasts a Peavey, they are indestructible. She’s well on her way to building a bomb shelter out of Peavey bass cabs. Smart move considering all the global antics going on right now. :D

I don't think I played a Peavey cab since I got rid of my 2x15. Loved that cab with my Mk III.

I love multiple speakers. In fact, I almost don't like single speakers. I don't care if it's multiple cabs or speakers in a single cab. The sound is just bigger, and much to me better.

It's interesting and they may know more than is being let on - it's certainly interesting and with their new owners wjo's to say? I think the 2021 Non Reverse was a hit for Gibson and maybe that leads to more and better things in the future.
