si, si. steve you say these things which i say 'si, these are true things.'
for me, first to do, i have make fumbling, pubescent love to my ibanez bass gitarre via the 'gibson super thor' bass amp. this amp, she was so very bad to be sub-peavey in her lovemaking! she was 2x15" speaker COMBO amp! haha! most funny of an amp to have ever.
so this super thor, 'on loan' from the hellsgate high school, she was maybe 100 gibson solid state watt, with very tired speakers this is maybe 70 peavey watts (or 10 ampeg watts). so i say to myself, 'little dude, you can do something with your money from xmas! you can buy the peavey TNT 130 at the music center!'
this i do. i go to music center, where work a man that we call 'rick peavey.' his christian name, she was not 'peavey,' and yet we call him 'rick peavey,' for his insistent flogging of the peavey line of amplificattore and gitarre, she was stuff of myth and mocking in missoula. i give to him some couple of hundreds of american dollar, and he give to me the TNT 130.
this was maybe in 1985? anyway, for this year, and for the years up until 1990, i wail only on this TNT 130! she was so wailing and terrible. she make the bass to be kind of clank and also boom, but not so clank as to make impressive noise to the ears. and not so boom to make the bowels to feel impact. only enough to suggest 'hrm, maybe the peavey, she is make a sound like a bass gitarre could make!' a suggestion of sound.
for the next of two years, 1990-92, having move away to seattle, italia--i have tried to make a true sound from the peavey. first, with the powered peavey 2x10" cab! to make the high note sound! haha! to add peavey to peavey, this is like to have too salty marinara, only to fix with sea water and vinegar!
still, with power cab, this was better than just TNT 130 by herself, but her wedding of peavey wail only in peavey sound way
then: to add the trace elliot preamp, on sale at seattle music! porco dio! is this better just than plain peavey?!?! to me, i think 'yes,' at this time. to think back on this, i think 'maybe no!' for trace elliot, she has magic 'soul-removing' graphic eq, to remove soul from all music.
but then i have to sell these things, for the peavey w/trace elliot, she is to bring me so far down in my desire to wail for truly. and then i have buy the 'rack of lights' bass amp, with these trace elliot preamp i have had and also a fancy mosfet power amp and a 2x15" cabinet (good purchase! the only one!) and a gigantic but terrible 2x10" cabinette with a tweeter, which i have blown in maybe five seconds after to buy her.
later, these amps, they have gone, in maybe 6mos, for ampeg svt. and the education of bassplayer (his odyssey, shared by most bassplayer) she was complete. for some change to other, kind of like svt amps, this is minor adjustment in future of bass life. not il change la mer like to go from peavey elliot to ampeg.
but...the rack of lights? she no bring to me the joy of wail so much as peavey. so many years, i wail on peavey, thru boss effect compressor and sometimes chorus or delay (1983-85)! as my friends, they wail on yamaha solid state amp and also roland jc120!
peavey, yes she is crap. but not so crap as trace elliot, or other rack of light, which so much more the money to cost me! salut, peavey! so cheap, so bad, and so long to break--never! so many year of cheap wailing to make with you! but you are crap! forever!
