Members baracuda2004 Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 OMFG! it's so awesome 400 watts all tube i got it from my guitarist and drummers old bass player cause he started his own company and he doesn't have time to play anymore, i play it with a Soundgear SRX 300 Active eq bass, and ohhhhh man it's like an AMPEG on steroids i don't see why it was discontinued Oh yeah i paid $800 for the Classic 400 Head(in perfect condition) and a PEAVEY 410 TVX cab(few minor tears in the fabric on the bottom from dragging it before he got wheels for it). In your opinion did i get a good deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brake Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 cool! someone else here has one and posts a pic of it somewhat often that gets me GAS-ing pretty bad. Peavey gear = solid. My Mark 6 is still going strong, it'll outlive me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[snip]ohhhhh man it's like an AMPEG on steroids i don't see why it was discontinued I've been collecting info from some Peavey insiders and basically it wasn't marketed and didn't sell well. here is a thread on TB that talks about the amp quite a bit.http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=173588 Originally posted by baracuda2004 Oh yeah i paid $800 for the Classic 400 Head(in perfect condition) and a PEAVEY 410 TVX cab(few minor tears in the fabric on the bottom from dragging it before he got wheels for it). In your opinion did i get a good deal? Hell yeah! I paid $350 with a flight case and had to put $250 worth of tubes in it and $100 for the tech to bias it.... so $700 for just the head.

Members J. Posted August 3, 2005 Members Share Posted August 3, 2005 Cool deal. The Peavey classic series are some of the most underrated tube amps for both guitar and bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went tubes for the tone... the way it reacts to my playing and for the 3D quality the 6550/KT88 give to my sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jugghaid Posted August 3, 2005 Members Share Posted August 3, 2005 Nice score. Those are one of the most underrated and best sounding heads ever made. You got a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thornton Davis Posted August 4, 2005 Members Share Posted August 4, 2005 Here's mine. These are great amps. But Peavey put inexpensive Chinese made tubes in them that need to be replaced. Once that's done, there's no looking back. Last time I had it on the meter, the RMS output was 443 watts. TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members baracuda2004 Posted August 11, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2005 i just figured out that we don't need to mic me anymore i just crank this baby up to 3 and i'm heard all over the place :eek: . i'm thinking about taking out the front plate to get the glow effect and paint the grill blue or something like that. this amp amazes me everytime i plug it in, maybe there wasn't a high request for them when they were on the market but now alot of people want them, i hope they try and bring them back to the market that would be f*ing awesome. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baracuda2004 Posted August 11, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2005 oh yeah it maybe a little heavy but i wouldn't let that be a reason for not buying it, for you that play punk-pop it might be too heavy but well i'm in metal so i just pop out a power stance and dead lift it onto my 410 but i might need a little help when i order my new 1x15 if you have any doubts then you're a complete idiot i've put many hours on the ampegs 300 watt tube amps and their solid state amps at Matt's Music here and well i wouldn't trade the CLASSIC400 head alone for an AMPEG tube head and a 8x10 cab i just like it that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phyrexian Posted August 11, 2005 Members Share Posted August 11, 2005 Pfff I want one. How's the distortion channel sounding, guys? I like the fact that this 2nd channel 's got its own EQ... my V8's got a distortion channel but no additional EQ. Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
