| Anonymous | Brad - Brand new in packaging for 8 years now. Make offers with phone numbers or e-mails - Mon, 24 Mar 7:55am - $100 884-3061 - Mon, 24 Mar 10:10am Brad - Wait a sec, I purchased this amp from a peavey dealer in CA. Before I ever turned it on I took it to a peavey tech and had the preamp worked to Dave Mustains specs, retubed, and set it aside in the box it came in. I warmed it up for 30 minutes and played through it for another 30. It has been in the box untouched since. It's worth $400 to me just to keep for a possible recording project later. I thought maybe there is more value to it than $100. Also factory tube retainers were installed by the same tech. - Mon, 24 Mar 12:07pm - Dave Mustains specs ? on a peavey classic 20 ? you asked for offers, so i offered. The unfortunate thing is that you did all this work to a peavey amp, maybe if you bought a real amp you wouldnt of had to. So who are you recording with ? - Mon, 24 Mar 3:06pm - Ok forget it! There is a reason why some guitarist like a 16ohm transformer. Dave recorded 2 studio albums with the same mods. - Mon, 24 Mar 6:06pm - check around, several great rock guitarists use this amp for their recording. Sorry I got impatient, just seems like people dont know what I'm talking about here in Vic until I prove myself. - Mon, 24 Mar 6:09pm - most people buy them for between $175-$250 - Tue, 25 Mar 7:52am - Canadian or US dollars? - Tue, 25 Mar 11:39pm - New or used? - Tue, 25 Mar 11:40pm - Is the 5150 based on the classic series tube amps? - Tue, 25 Mar 11:40pm - no the 5150 is in a league of there own. The classic 20 is similar to a blues junior if i am correct, combo with 1x12 speaker configuration - Wed, 26 Mar 7:48am - the thing with peavey amps is they are not a good investment if you plan on selling them down the road. So if you buy one you better well be sure this is an amp you want to keep. whenever I see 5150 combo going for sale in this towns, its usually between $600-$700, and i think they are least $1800 new. - Wed, 26 Mar 7:49am - The blues jr has preamp gain of 2, the 5150 is a 5, and the classic 20 is a 3 from the factory and a 4 with slight tweaks and a 5 to 5 1/2 with mild circuit mods. The blues jr is very limited to mods and dynamic range. - Wed, 26 Mar 7:54am - the fender blues jr has a higher clean volume by far. - Wed, 26 Mar 7:57am - marshall jcm800 has a gain of 4 stock. Mesa's are 4 to 5. Plexi heads are a 2 unless modified or pushed hard to meet a 4 with eq tweaks. - Wed, 26 Mar 7:59am gibson - i love it how everyone shits on peaples forsale ads. that said. no matter what you think the amp is worth. it still a peavey and will never be a marshall,boogie,fender,hiwatt,orange. even a broken marshall etc. is worth more than a peavey. maybe some country western dude will buy it off you. - Wed, 26 Mar 10:40am - PEOPLE'S is the correct way to spell it! - Wed, 26 Mar 5:41pm dan conner - Whats wrong with peavy's? I'm using a peavy 158 rage as a practice amp... works alright. Dan Conner - Wed, 26 Mar 10:40pm meathead - Lita Ford recorded her last two CDs miking one of those little rage amps. - Thu, 27 Mar 6:02am - Thu, 27 Mar 2003 7:28pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Peavey's are fine, useful and reliable. They are also almost worthless to sell used; I turned down a 5150 for $300 (had no use for it). Their guitars are worth even less. I guess they just aren't cool enough or something. I have an early '70's PA head that I used for about 20 years that can run OK down to 2 ohms!! It was free, and it works great for practice. But I couldn't get $100 for it if I tried. - Sat, 29 Mar 2003 3:41pm | ||
| Anonymous | well if ya dont like doubling yer money zippgunn then turn down 5150's for $300 alot of people would pay $600 or more in a second oh well someone got a good deal - Sat, 29 Mar 2003 8:18pm | ||
| Brad | anyone else selling used peavey's? - Sat, 29 Mar 2003 10:46pm | ||
| Zippgunn | Well if I remember correct it sat there for a while until somebody traded some stuff for it. I think the store was asking $500 but got nary a nibble on it at that price. Plus I never speculate in gear; it's too much work and trouble, and somehow I feel bad making big bux off of some broke musician. - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 2:40pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Although I'm more of a musician then a hack, I can answer a few questions. For instance, I read somewhere that my Yamaha Pacifica electric was a jazz/blues guitar, it's got an OK sound, but I can't really judge with my Traynor practice amp (plus I'm a beginner). 5150 are what artists like Zakk Wylde use, I heard his new CD and it rocks. But wouldn't it be better to buy a Marshall amp and wire both up?!? Indeed, I have questions that need to be answered as well. Peace... - Wed, 2 Apr 2003 6:29pm | ||
