    Hi Guys,

     

    I'm new to this forum, I have come across some bass amps found in a garage. Some are in questionable condition but seem okay enough.

     

    Please could you give some advice on what they are, if they are any good, and point me to any resources etc...

     

    List of amps:

    Peavey Backstage Plus 35 Watt Amp

    Laney Mighty Bass Amp

    Laney Pro Linebacker PL100 Bass Amp

    Mission Raven Student Bass Amp

     

    Also, how do you go about buying basses on this site? Do you do it all via direct messaging and then paypal?

     

    Thank you in advance for any replies.

    Might just be a bit of internet Petrol on an internet fire, but there’s been a bit of a buzz around 80’s Peavey guitar amps with the blue knob and saturation control, thanks to QOTSA. There are a few in the range with the same circuit, so might be a good find?

    They lost me a bit when they talked about the "air between the amps and mics" being responsible for the change in sound. That's too fairy dust for me. 


     I’ve got some jars of tone air if anyone is in the market.  My favourite is “charity shop” air - so much character.

    The headstock is not great - very anonymous and why do it in such a way that the strings have to go at such angles after the nut? 

    The headstock is something I like 😂. I saw it on Instagram the other day (just a shot of the rear of the headstock) and thought “that’s nice”.  Not in to the bendy metal thing though - I could see me bending it out of shape accidentally.

    Another resurrection - I found one for sale and snapped it up. Should be with me tomorrow/ mid week hopefully at which time I'll post photos and a review.

    Combo or bass?  Assuming combo.  I put a Beyma in mine - sounds lovely!

    This is my ampless and mains power free rig, works a treat

    Can you tell me more about the power pack please?  Freeing up another plug (and maybe ditching the amp/cab) sounds quite appealing.  Almost as little to set up as the brass section!

    It's not always ideal, but you can't deny that 'heads and breakables' is the reality of playing certain types of gigs when you're a certain type of band. In those circumstances, if you're the one that tips up with your full rig when you've been explicitly told that there's no time or room for it, or conversely doesn't tip up with an amp head because you're not risking it, it's also a good way to get dropped from future gigs with that promoter or venue because there are always other bands that will make their lives easier. We've played some of our best local support slots for touring bands not because we were always the best fit for the gig musically, but because we have a reputation with the stage manager of the local rock club for turning up when we're told, bringing and leaving what we're instructed, setting up and checking un-fussily, playing for as long as we're given, and clearing the stage quickly afterwards.

     

    In terms of where to go after your first combo, getting a loud little amp head and some cables in a bag can't be the worst advice going if it lets you access a really commonly found format for getting out there and playing some music with/to some people.

    I like this post.  Know your people.  It’s all about the people.
