That Peavey is sweet. Offer up $100 and see where it goes.
That Concert Lead is overpriced by about $200. Would not buy.

hell you don't have to worry about the concert lead, it got snagged up already. and honestly 200 is more than a fair price for them nowadays unless it's broken. They are regularly going for 300 and slowly going upwards from there.

This one guy is selling the head for 75.00
http://nashville.craigslist.org/msg/4610362296.html
I played around with my new set up and I'm actually digging it. Only problem is that my my mid pot is super dirty. I was told that I can clean the pots with some cleaner from radio shack. I'm going to try it this weekend...
Also I found out that the peavey 400 bass is 210 watts at 2 ohms. I have 4 16 ohm speakers wired to 4 ohms (parallel I think is what it's called)
A 2 ohm head will fry if I play it out of my cab, right?

The concert lead is still for sale I believe. Its not showing up on the link but when I check on craigslist it shows up.
Anyway the guy wants 500 for it. I thought that was the going price?
A guy is selling a coliseum bass for 400. I was thinking about that one but I read that for guitar it wasn't worth it... Any experience anyone?

If a solid state amp can go down to 2 ohms, your 4 ohm cab will be fine. The amp just won't have as much headroom.
Dixie dave uses that concert bass head. He gets pretty good lows. Of course he also rolls off all the treble.

That's an alright deal, I suppose. Not spectacular. I sold my '74 concert bass for $350 earlier this year.

Did you play guitar out of it? That's what I would be doing.
Or should I just wait for like a beta lead or beta bass?
For guitar that is...

Those Peavey ss heads are surprisingly awesome for the price. Lot of wattage too. Even at 4ohms you'd be running more than 100 watts. Though the Bass Mark IV heads run 300 at 2 ohms/210 at 4 (they have output for 4ohms too). I run a Beta Bass with guitar (basically same as Beta Lead without reverb) and love the shit out of it. All the lows. Sounds reeeeeeally good with the rat and muff combo too, though I run an FZ-2.

I had a chance to buy a beta bass with a 2x15 cab for 350 and I couldn't come up with the cash....
I still kick myself in the ass every time I think about it.
I passed up a fz-2 as well last week...
I need to just stop looking on craigslist unless I have money... Its depressing...
So I should pass on the concert bass? probably huh?
I'm trying to sell my schecter 7 string guitar to fund the concert lead but no one is biting....
I might have better luck on eBay or reverb huh?

No, I played bass out of it. It was a great head, I got rid of it in favor of a Plush 1060-S, cuz t00bz breh. I just found and locked down a Sunn Coliseum 880 at the local Guitar Center, so I'm not sure if I'll be holding onto the Plush much longer haha.

I had a century 170 randall and ive had the 200 and they're not all that bassy imo. that cabs already wired to 4 ohms so what I would do is find a 70s SS bass amp head for cheap (think kustom, acoustic, maybe sunn) or a modern ss bass head (carvin b500 is a GREAT pedal platform)
however this is my advice to run a cheap, loud and bassy as fuck pedal platform. if you want to build off of amp distortion and are stuck on trying to sqwwwwek every ounce of bass out of those I would grab a bass eq pedal before trying new fuzz IF you like the swollen pickle.
Me....im the other guy that would jump on them and hilariously...i got mine from Whiskey
Lady Lucks are fantastic speakers with lowend boom aplenty......unless your cab sucks total balls you has the lowend there. In fact if pushed to choose between Lady Lucks and Swamps.....Id pick the Lady Lucks because it has the lows of the Swamps with more mids. If i can ever get shop space ill have my 6x12 loaded with 2 each of v30s, swamps and lady lucks

Yeah I'm just discovering just how great they sound. The guy that owned the cab before me had it wired wrong. Now it matches my head (4 ohms to 4ohms).
A 6x12 cab with a mix of all those speakers would be the sweetest thing ever!
What about cannibis Rex speakers? I've read that those are ideal for doom/sludge/stoner rock...
