You know sometimes I'll crank my 400+ up and put my head against the top edge of my top cab and just let my bass feedback, it's cathartic.

my band mates hate it when I do this. Your right though its very cathartic/therapeutic.

300 watts to us is a practice amp.


I'm a bassist, but I don't need a 300w amp... Maybe three stacks of 100w each :cool:

Peavey Classic 400 bass head. All-tube, 400 watts, sounds like a vintage Ampeg SVT...Perfect for my the bass sound in my band.

My band used to be a 2 piece (bassitar/drums), and we had 7 cabs (4 4x12's, 2 8x10's, and 1 2x15) and 5 amps totalling roughly 2000 watts for a while...that was pretty loud. We toured with this band Beast In The Field who had more than us...we bummed out a lot of sound guys on that jaunt.

And then there's Jucifer...

Dude, you have no idea how awesome it gets. Being a fuzzhead such as myself, my friend tells me you can my bass down the road, around the corner,down the other road, and inside his house.

Some kids out in Kalamazoo, MI turned me onto Beast in the Field, pretty cool stuff.

I used to play guitar through one of those Fender 300t Sunn-ripoffs into an Ampeg 4x10 and an Ampeg 1x15, sounded alright. Pretty loud.

I also tried to buy one of those Fender 400PS amps, got really really really excited, then the deal fell through (after I paid, adlkfjaldfl;jkadf).

I don't even need 25 watts!

Is there any justifiable reason for 300 watt...1000+ watt amps?!?
