What to do with old Peavey stack?

[Bob_Ross]

Any creative ideas on how to move this stack on to its next home?

I loaned* my enormous towering inferno big amp stack to a local recording studio so they could use it as the house bass amp. In exchange for that loan, I get pretty much unlimited free studio time there (so long as it fits around their scheduled bookings). It's win-win.

*tbh it's really more like donated, because I honestly do not foresee my ever needing to use that enormous rig again on any gig I do between now and my eventual demise.

The rig is still in my living room. Was jamming a bit last week and noticed a little rattle that I thought was my fireplace glass doors. But, turned out to be the horn tweeter in the 2x10 cabinet. Peavey had them in stock and reasonably priced. New one came in a few days and easily replaced in less than ten minutes. Perfect fit. Took the old one apart, no signs of abuse, I figure just the ravages of time. Everything else is tight as a drum.

Kudos to Peavey for having the parts list right on the website and in stock. They've generally been very good about long-term support for parts and service info.

I have to say, this is a really good sounding rig with amazing range of tone controls. The only down side is the weight. I'm "dad rock" age and hauling heavy stuff around is less appealing than it was 20 years ago.

OK so now it's gone from being in your way and not making money to actually starting to cost you money

if you're still trying to make it go away, i've had good luck on facebook marketplace;

that way you can check out the basic background of the person coming over, make sure they're not sketchy (unlike craigslist, no thank you)

For various reasons, I do not have a Facebook account, nor twitter or instagram or any other social media, so that's not in the cards for me.

On the fence about it. Cranking it up and really jamming on it, made me remember why I bought it in the first place. Peavey bass gear, at least from that era, was good stuff.

I don't think any other manufacturer has the service/support level that Peavey does.
