Spent ages looking round on Saturday. Spoke to the staff who said Peavey are finding a UK distributor and shutting down the warehouse, will be a few weeks before they open a new repair centre but the impression I got was that the majority of stuff will be working. Lots was hire for festival-back line so it spends 8 months a year sitting about
General rule: amps in low lot numbers below about 400 are tatty and best avoided. Lot 460 (VB3 amp) is 120V so anybody tempted should avoid that one.
Most of the Trace gear is shooting up in price but to me it all looked in good condition visually.
Tested lot 1261 (VB-3 Michael Anthony signature + 2 cabs) myself with one of the 5-string basses, not my style as the head looks a bit tacky with the decals but it works alright. Probably would sound quite nice with a Fender P-bass but I the Peavey bass was awful.
