Members #6 Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 ok folks, thanks for bearing with me during this little amp shopping info binge... anyone have or have opinions on these? 200W, 1x15 Peavey TNT w/Black Widow. I know they weight approximately 3.5 metric tones, but how are they otherwise? This one I won't be able to play in advance, so please be descriptive.... Too good a deal to pass up maybe, even though I am leery of buying something i've never used... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BASSDAD Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 That'll do ya a little better than the other one you were looking at. Very solid amp. BW's are good too. As for how good a deal you didn't give us a price:poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P-Lyte Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I played a non-BW TNT115 back in the mid 90's. I'd describe it as a tank. Heavy as hell (80 lbs), but durable and relaible. I gigged about twice a week (and practiced a few times a week too) with it for 4 straight years without a problem. It never let me down. A nice combo amp, especially for the money. It had no problem keeping up with 2 guitars, keys and drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members g.ghost Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I had an older 150 watt model that had the BW speaker.It was HEAVEY. I put casters on it to help move it around.I bought it new and had it for about 5 years.After a while I became dissatisfied with the tone. Somewhat muddy. I wanted more hi-fi sound and just couldn't get it with the EQ.The volume was fine but not the greatest flexability tone wise. I guess I must have pushed it too hard as the output capacitors?? both blew on it. I'd try one locally to see if you can live with the tone before buying.

Members i_wanna_les_paul Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I played the 115S for a while. Since you're soliciting comments, I'll throw mine in even if it's now the BW version. Honestly, the tone is thumpy. To me, it sounds muffled with a definite lack of clarity. It just makes noise to my ears. Nothing special, but it gets the job done. Now I play with a GK head and a 1x12 cab, and that's the way I want my bass to sound. The Peavey got the job done, and it's good and loud, but it's not deep and not clear. Sounds nice for guitar with a stompbox, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P-Lyte Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 +1 to the comments about the sound being loud, thumpy and bit muddy. That was my experience as well, but I have no idea how different the Black Widow versions sound. As for price, I'd say that's not bad. Most I've seen are in the $200-$300 range used. You could probaly find a non-BW version for under $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done house parties and small gigs with it. The BW speaker will be a step up from the regular ones as well. I did see the PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
