I need a cheap loud head. I was thinking a Peavey Mark VIII. What else should I look for, ILF?

i thought i was gonna end up with a peavey though
cheap and loud was my criteria as well
peavey seemed to be the consensus

that concert bass would do the trick nicely. when you can find them, the ampeg v6b is usually around $200. did you get that one you were looking at ryan?

Yeah, I had an HA3500 and it sounded both awesome and LOUD. Really, really loud if needed.
Only thing I disliked about it was that the preamp kinda farted out if driven too hard. This is why I like my Peavey 400 Series, sounds a-okay if you smack it.

Another rec for peavey/acoustic stuff, it mostly sounds pretty good and they're all loud.

Score either an Acoustic 370 or a Coliseum series Sunn. They lack no equal in terms of cheap related to loud. Though, fucking Coliseums are expensive now. So, really, get the Acoustic.
