Anyone ever heard/seen/played one of these. I didn't even know they existed. Im a guitarists but our bassist is trying to find a new sound - he plays a Kustom Groove Bass 2x10/Horn 600w combo - badass nonetheless but he wants a change. If you have ANY information on this or any Idea, please give me a shout, or let us all know. Thanks In Advance,

Josh - L.C.

I could only find the Peavey VB-2. A 225 watt all tube bass head.

Special order here, but claim that they can get it fast. If this is what you want, I'd call and try to get a better handle on what "fast" means.

In fact, you should call and ask if they know about a 400 watt all tube head from peavey.

I don't think they do anymore, and talk/reviews is all I can find about....no clips, no nothing. I wanna hear it in action!

OH MY GOD! That was some funny sh!t. How can go from bashing the head, to praising the head. And then say that a cab is a head and that 400 TUBE WATTS is only good for acoustic?????????? Maybe I should contact this kid.....lol! Good find OG
