| Played an opry type show about 100+ from my home and my Steel amp died. With less than an hour to start,and not enough time to get another amp from home, somebody brought in a Peavey Combo Bass Amp for me to use. I had my Profex 2 to help my sound and I have to say it Worked, and it saved the day. I had to play a couple of instrumentals during the show and I was impressed at the tone I was getting. |

Kurt--I've been using a bass amp, a Carvin PB150 with 1x15, for three years and it works great! I put an old Fender reverb unit between my carter D-10 and the amp and get that full sound that I can't get with a guitar amp.

Kurt,
I have a new Peavey TKO15 Bass Amp that I use with my Fender Pecision. I've tried this amp with my Sierra 12 and had good results with my lower (bass) strings but found it lacking on the high strings...even with the use of the equalizers. What Peavey combo model were you using and what were your settings?
thanks!

Well, FWIW, for several years back in the 1950's and early 1960's the Fender tweed Bassman with the 4-10" speakers was the road amp of choice for a number of pro players. They worked well for steel guitar, electric guitar, bass, and fiddle. Guitar and steel guitar players often used a Fender reverb unit or an Echoplex with these amps. The great Bob Wills ran his fiddle through a tweed Bassman with considerable success.
Guess it would depend on what kind of bass amp it was, but I've heard some bass amps that can cover some pretty high frequencies and might work good with a steel guitar.

| For years, I used two Ampeg B15 amps with my Bigsby T-10. |

A few years back my Session 500 bit the big one so while it was in the shop I used my wife's Peavy TNT 130 Bass Amp and the thing really smoked. I liked it better that the 500. She won't let me have it though so I bought a Nashville 400 but I still think the bass amp sounds better.
