Members thriftyshirt Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hey yall, I'm a regular in the guitar/amp forums, but i fool around on bass sometimes. Since I'm not a serious bass player, i don't have a serious rig: Behringer BX3000T head into no-name ported 1x15 cab. However, I had a guy offer to sell me his bass rig because he's moving out of town and he can't take it. His rig is a Peavey Firebass 700 head and a Peavey 4x12 ported/horn cabinet. He offered to sell them both to me for $200. I've been able to find some info on the Firebass, and it seems like a nice mid-level bass head that is worth about $300(?) used. However, I'm not sure about the bass cabinet. I'm at work right now and didn't right down any of the info, so maybe one of you guys can help me identify it and figure out what its worth. Its a 4x12 cabinet, newer make, carpet covered, no casters, black metal grill, paper cone speakers, has the white peavey logo on the front and the Peavey triangle logo at the bottom. I haven't decided if i want to keep it or sell it. It would be nice to have a full sized rig around, but if its worth a lot of money, I'd rather sell it and get some more guitar crap. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zachoff Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 That cabinet is super bad ass and super heavy. So, if you don't mind schlepping it around that rig will be loud as {censored} and sound pretty f'n good. Don't expect much of a dirty tone with it but it does clean and deep real well.

Members thriftyshirt Posted June 28, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 Originally posted by lug JUMP ON THIS DEAL!!!! Well I already told him that I was going to buy it. And I borrowed it about a week ago, so its at my house, so I'm not worried about him selling it to anyone else. This thread just to find out what its worth. I know I'm getting a killer deal, I just want to know how killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know the model number? Or how much its worth used? I do love the sound of the rig, but its a hell of a lot more weight and space than I want to lug around all the time.

Members der oxenrig Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 It's probably a 412TX. Killer cabinet. They go for around 400 used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess $300 or so though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks exactly like it, but with carpet covering and no casters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lug Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 Originally posted by thriftyshirt That looks exactly like it, but with carpet covering and no casters. Then it would most likely be a 4X12 TXF. I have a 4X10 TXF (F is for felt, I think) which is the precurser to the TVX line. The difference in mine and the TVX is the type of covering and the protection circuit for the horn. The speakers and crossover are the same in both.

Members thriftyshirt Posted June 30, 2005 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2005 I checked it today, Its a 4x12 TXF. There is a knob on the back near the inputs. What does that do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if i turn it to zero it will have less highs, and 10 will be more? Sorry for the ignorance, I'm not really a bass player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero will be no highs above the crossover (typically about 2k, more or less); ten will be "regular." Tweeters are cut-only in dB (often written near the tweeter control, but sometimes not at all), usually zero is "minus infitine dB," whereas ten is "minus 0 dB."

No hassle? It would probably be close to $150 or more to ship the cab in the CONUS, not to mention the hassle of finding a way to pack it. I have gotten an offer for the head only that i am considering, because that can be shipped realistically, but I'm not sending the cab anywhere but local. (That is unless i decide to keep it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
