Peavey Kilobass or Firebass 700

[Reload]

Who's used em? Why did they discontinue the Kilobass?..something wrong with
hybrid tube/solid state?.....then why is the T-Max for sale?.......maybe the
Kilobass was just too much cash!

I'm looking to trade for one. I've got a GK800RB with a 6 space SKB rack and
a Korg DT1-Pro tuner (rack mounted) to trade for the Kilobass......I may
trade the 800RB solely for the Firebass 700 as well......don't know! Fair
trade?

Does anyone know of any other high powered 600 watt + amps madde my peavey
that are either hybird or solid state......besides the T-max and the all
tube Classic 400?

Thanks in advance, it's appreciated :)

One more thing.......

I was planning on running the head at 4 ohms, I may try 2 ohms some
day.......just a little edgy on that low impedence though!

Any body know of any other heads that are as cheap and realiable and worth
the trade of a GK800RB? (I'm just not getting enough power out of the
GK....the GK 2000RB would probably be good but hard to find and no would
trade that for what I have!)

Thanks again!

Apparently, Peavey also discontinued the T-Max and the Classic 400, from
what I've heard. No idea why, but they certainly will have some replacement
models for them. I hope they're not leaving the Firebass as their sole
high-end bass amp, it's a nice amp, but it's not in the same class as the
T-Max.

I was going to buy a Firebass 700, until I came across a new Classic
400.
The 700 appears to be a great amp and i've only read and heard very good
comments on them. You might get a dealer in the Toronto area to trade
you a Firebass 700 for your GK-800RB. I know that Cosmo's Music Yonge
Street store in Richmond Hill have a couple of FB-700's in stock that
they'd entertain a trade for.
They have a website.

How is that Classic 400?

It's the all tube thing right?

How much was it? I guess it's supposed to compete with the Mesa 400+
and the SVT fans. Does it compare? Peavey has really come out with
some good stuff lately.

Thanks!!

A store near where I live carries a brand new T-max, Kilobass, and Classic
400. What are good prices to pay for these?
