Dead Peaveys on Clist

[tedmich]

Local guy on Clist (who does pretty work) will re-cover a 5150/6505 head shell in std. PV skin for $125, while Shannon at PV parts department just priced a new covered head shell
93000155- CABINET, COVERED $108.07 ea
quite the bargain even with shipping...

[Enzo]

I do love the PV folks.

Are the prices for the same thing? I forget, are there tolex covered front or rear panels that might not come with the factory new shell?

[tedmich]

I don't know Enzo, Shannon said it was a naked covered head shell so I imagine its just the wood shell and the tolex stuck to it. Those panels disappear on a very regular basis and I've never seen replacements, even for the much hated (and expensive CNC machined!?) Mudflap girl...


the old Ultra 120 could really use a new shell

like this old VTM

as the wood really doesn't need to be 1.5" of ply and particle board

YUCK!

Wonders of large scale production.

And probably low China wages.

[Enzo]

Yeah, I am just curious.

If you order a new Fender Twin cab, it won't include the two rear cover panels, some do not include the grille/baffle. Just wondering if there were any parallels here. I guess the front and rear panels are not "covered", in the sense of no tolex. So probably a non-issue.

Hmmmm the foot switch cable the guy gave me only has 5 pins, not the 7 typical ones
its also a thicker cable than the 6505+ cable on the right... I cannot find any PV cable with 5 pins but I wonder what this one is for. Needless to say it doesn't work on the XXX, now I need to get the unused pin 2 to light a yellow LED on the footswitch for the Crunch channel...

The amp RAGES! Huge breathing distortion and sustain! I LOVE it! What a gain monster!

My experience selling gear in the SF bay area is that most musicians don't have any money ("collectors" of gear are far and few between) - though there is a sweet spot price where you can turn gear around quickly.

I'm finding that out after trying to sell off my accumulated gear with mixed success (in the SF south bay). Anything between $30 and $60 will sell quickly. Otherwise, good luck with kids with no driver's license/car, low ballers etc etc. Basically, ye olde CL experience.

Investing in broken Fender, Marshall, Mesa will probably make more money.

If time equals money, then it's hard to imagine making much money trying to chase down problems in a dead Mesa.

Yep. "hmmm, nobody seems to like opto's that much... I know lets put them in stacks!"

[tedmich]

and then lets Peter North Decorate the whole thing with hot melt....

Mesa has fluffers?

Wow...


I think I will wander down the road to a different bar....

That you even GET the drift of the names and terms implies that you just sit back down and drink your beer. We're all friends and no ones getting man love weird or anything.
