Well, second hand.
I play in a church music group, so tight/punchy is more important to me than loud. I currently have a Peavey 210 tx coupled with a MarkBass Little Mark II. Its been a while since I played so can't remember how I rate the sound. I used to have a Trace 4x10 which I loved, apart from the weight, so I sold that (regret that a bit now, but it was very impractical). I also have a 1x15 Trace which seems a little bit flabby - should really have sold that instead of the 4x10, but it seeming has better bass range than the 10".
So, a few questions.
The Peavey is still quite heavy - 25kg for 2x10 is not great in the modern era. What am I realistically looking at on sale of it? Good condition, had the single jack replaced by two 2p speakon connectors, one of which is a Speakon/Jack combo connector.
Having sold it, what do I replace it with? I started out thinking a MarkBass 4x10 - similar weight to the Peavey but a 4x10. Alternatively a MB 2x10 - lighter than the Peavey. Now some of the Barefaced stuff is getting my attention, as is the GK MBE410, one of which has recently sold. I play all over the neck - I don't like being told to just stick to 'bass' notes. Sod that for a lark. I have 24 frets for a reason. I am also looking at getting a 5 string, so will need to cope well with my bottom B.
I'm also quite cost conscious. I can probably add another £200 or so into the mix having sold the Peavey, but getting more than that from SWMBO (or more accurately, she who if not obeyed would become incredibly expensive in short order) might be tough. So I'm very much looking second hand.
Thoughts?
