hehe well then what about...err...now im f*cked...what's that in english..err I'll take that from my dictionary, so don't blame me if i sound like an oxford snob

what about deferred payment? u know i got my first real amp like that...it cost like 500€ that time and i spend 100€ a month and got it then...might be worth of thinking about it in your situation.

also i have to say u must have a regular income of some sort. but i still think that is the best way for younger (or poorer ) ppl to get what they want...

LOL, yeah I read that, but I was more implying the size, cab, top etc...

anyways, if you want LOUD, you need to save up for a Firebass
or you could kill me and steal my Hughes and Kettner 400w tube with cabs. nah, don't do that

I can't tell you shit about the Peavey amp, except that the peaveys I played where all good value for their money, I didn't think they sounded exciting (but I'm an ass when it comes to tone!)

ohyeah I played on Stu Hamm's bass yesterday in Musik Productiv (german music store) lol, they told me I could take anything of the wall and play it, how was I supposed to know I couldn't play the signatured one's, lol.....

Im on my way over to the netherlands now.......

Hehe

nother thought crossed me mind..what about e-bay or used amps? if u have some1 u can trust and who knows stuff when it comes too amps so he can check them, suckbay or some used amp in a local music store might be the right choice...

i know a lot about all those amps... i work in ontario music ontario, california.
i personally own a carvin pb100-15 not pb100-10 but if you buy the pb100-10 you can basically get away with paying less money for something the exact same as another model. now i dont know about british money and how you convert it to american but if you want a best buy them buy the pb100-10 because its about $279 american. its a nice 100 watt package and youll say it was worth it if you decide to purchase it.

well that is reallly cheap for a 100 watter... how's the sound?

Well lads, heres my finalist

The beatiful sexy, loud, powerful, double horned Trace Elliot bfc, 1000 watter!!

Tatter3d, since you buy this amp to be able to do gigs properly, ask the other guys in the band if they'd be willing to lend you some money for the amp. I mean, it's their band too, so they will also hear comments about the bass being drowned, so they should care. Of course, I know nothing of your or the bands financial situation, but I think it might be worth a try.
