sweet, is that a custom cab?

[ZephMan13]

sweet, is that a custom cab?

its a combo.

[savageshredder]

5150+5150 = 10300
these 2 heads combined with an A/B switch make some nice possibilities...

[slayerfan213]

that combo is even uglier than the Krank combos.

[Joe_Bradburry]

that combo is even uglier than the Krank combos.

yeah, but it'll still rip your fucking face off!

[Rex Rocker]

I don't see what's ugly about it... it looks like a combo...

what would you say is a pretty-looking combo, then?

[savageshredder]

that combo is even uglier than the Krank combos.

LOLZ ya got pwn3d

[ZephMan13]

Okay, go ahead and go play with your marshall, well have teh brootalz.

[Piney Hills Music]

teh brootalz you say? what is these br00talz you speeks of?

do tell... what br00talz you has..

my br00talz is a bugera 6262 half stack that behringer just gave me...

[Fordman65]

The only way I would own a Bugera is if it was given to me. I would never pay for that crap. Sorry just too many horror stories, I personally would rather pay the extra money and get the real deal 5150 and be happy.

[Matt Parsons]

Hey Piney Hills, could you open up a Bugera and take a lot of good pictures of the insides of a Bugera, and then compare it to the insides of a Peavey? Thanks!

Nice 5150 rig:hat

Bugeras are just ripped off Peavey designs made with low quality components
and questionable craftsmanship. The store I work at has sold four of them,
and three have been returned. Not a good track record. Out of the dozens of
Peavey amps we've sold in the past two years we had one get returned. A
JSX 2x12 with a bad input jack. Peavey slays Bugera.

[Piney Hills Music]

I have had 2 of them returned of the eight that I have sold , both from the same guy for the same reason, input jack broken. reason.. planet waves cables with the flanges, bugera has a plastic jack...(so I guess that makes 2 of 9)

Not supposed to be anything more than a cheaper alternative.

The Peavy Head is what 1200? the bugera is 800 for a half stack.. there is no way it could possible be made with anything other than cheap components. the workmanship is not questionable at all, we opened up one that had the broken jack to see how easy it is to work on, and everything is laid out nicley, with good solder joints, and the wires are tucked in nicely. Its made in China for prolly 100 dollars a piece, so you are getting what you pay for. but Behringer has a good warranty program, and this is nothing more than an entry level tube amp. They gave me one. so I am gonna hot rod it up. and see what I can do with it.
what would I rather have...

well lets see.. there are 2 Orange half stacks in my store, an ENGL Powerball, and 2 EVH 5150iiis in there too, along with a HIWATT HiGain 100ser....

Mat, if you had asked Thursday, I had one pulled apart. We were looking at the guts seeing how easy they would be to work on if there was a problem. My amp tech pulled it apart and took they guts out, and put them back in in less than 20 minutes.. with about 10 minutes looking at it. He said they were laid out easy for him to work on.

I have one only because they gave me one, but there havent been that many horror stories, they have only been on sale for 4 months, and the head of Marketing and Sales for Bugera was at my store last weekend and did a clinic. He said that thier overall returns was less than 1%. you just hear about the horor stories.
Thats why I told that kid to buy one, it allows him to have a good sounding (they do sound great) amp, until he can afford something really nice. Its a "first amp"

[Matt Parsons]

That's interesting. I saw a thread on HCAF where someone opened up a Bugera and it was made extremely poorly. The pics were deleted though.

I know its bad for your business for me to recommend it, but a used reliable amp would make a much better first amp than a new unreliable one.

[Piney Hills Music]

Its not gonna hurt my business man, its how you feel, and thats cool

I dont sell used amps and gear for 1 reason. accountability. I have to be acountable for what walks out my store. and I cant risked getting something bad.

the third week I was open, i hadnt made up my mind about used stuff, and this guy walks in my store wanting to know if I sold used amps, or in this case, bought them. I ask to see what he had. (remember I am a brand new store, so I am low on teh cash) He brings in an all tube ampeg amp from a decade or so ago, and wants 200 bux for it, he shows me that it turns on and everything. I think about it, look in the register, and at my bank balance, and I just didnt have enough to make it justifiable. when I finally put my foot down with the guy, he starts asking about where he could get it fixed. after 20 minutes of playing past 2 on volume, the amp would over head, and just shut off. IF it didnt blow a fuse, it wouldnt come back on for 2-3 hours. Imagine, I buy this for 200, sell it for say 250. some kid buys this and tests it im store, on 2 for maybe 10 minutes at a time, then gets it home cranks it, and BAM, I am on the hook for a bad amp. I know used stuff doesnt carry a warranty, but I woulnd be able to do that.

So I made up my mind that day to never risk it.

[Piney Hills Music]

I will see if I can get a picture of the guts for you.

[Piney Hills Music]

Krank.

your response confuses me... bucause

WE NEEDZ MOAR PRON!!!!

[Imperium]

Thats is sick dude!!!

If only Peavey made a new 6505 in a 1X12 combo, as well as a JSX 1X12 and a Valve King 1X10, one of whitch would get bought by me!!!

I think that companys should look into getting more 1X12 options for us who want the tone, but dont have the space and/or the finances to get the full setup. That would be comercial gold to me.

[the_emptier]

its a combo.

i know i was just joking :rollin

[Piney Hills Music]

I really like the thread title, thats funny as hell...

a low-wattatge 5150 would be an AWESOME deal... but if they ever did one, I guess it would be one of those 1x8 combos Peaevey loves... it could be cool, but I don't really like small speakers :\

[Justinschut]

Now I just gotta sell the combo, get the head modded from 110 to 230 Volts and get a cab.. After playing a gig on our drummer's Fireball yesterday, I kinda regret selling mine.. but the 5150 should do just as good or better.. Cant wait to blast it on some innocent bystanders :p

When TMPB was rehearsing and preparing for gigs, I had my Powerball and the other dude had a 5150. The combined tone was MONSTROUS.

[Justinschut]

Played the first gig with the 5150 head yesterday and the other guitarist played the drummer´s Fireball. 2xESP + ENGL + 5150 = kick ass :hat

[poidaobi]

I still say they're no good. I haven't really heard anything good about them, besides what you're saying. I just hear about them being returned all the time. I beleive Planeshift had just had one, and it gave out on him within a few weeks. I'd much rather save my cash and buy something descent rather then buying an $800 POS.

JMO.



EDIT-That amp setup is pretty sick dude, bet it sounds pretty badass.:hat

i played a 6260 half stack, it wasn't all that great...for the price and reliability, i would never buy a hunk of garbage.

[Justinschut]

arent the Bugera´s around the same price as the Spider Valves ? Those aren´t bad

[Imperium]

a low-wattatge 5150 would be an AWESOME deal... but if they ever did one, I guess it would be one of those 1x8 combos Peaevey loves... it could be cool, but I don't really like small speakers :\

I know, Ive just realised today that my ValveKing Royal 8 is perfect for John Fogerty/Creedance Clearwater Revival stuff. I need something that has a couple of channels and can do teh brootals at a low volume.

I think that manufacturers need to realise theres people out there that want the tone at lower voumes and in a smaller package, and i think that theres some out there that have or have just realised that, and have or are gonna cash in on that.

A 5150 1X12 60W with a half power switch would make me part with my cash.

[DeathrollJM]

eh for the price of a spider valve...id rather get a used 5150 or 6505, the line 6 amps are too processed sounding and not very transparent and defined, i find them muddy and lacking definition at even low gain compared to the real deal tubes amps in that price range.
