Saying goodbye to 5150II

[Genius Gone Insane]

It was a fun road but the proper owner of my 5150II just asked for it back. I've had it for like 3 years now. Though it was inevitable, this is somewhat devastating. I don't really know what else to say. Sniff.

Buy your own?

I know a guy selling one in mint condition for 700...I think he lives in CA, too.

*edit*
well, technically it's a 6505+.

 

[colonel kurtz]

7 bills, huh?

*rubs chin*

 

[iamandy]

there was a band on my myspace selling one for £500!

If you're losing the mkII, why not take the opportunity to by an mkI?
They record so much better, and sound so much better in person IMO.

 

[nwright]

Dude selling it is about 90 minutes from the SF Bay Area, GeniusGoneInsane!

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

That's tempting

+1 there. Now that you're familiar with the Peavey sound, why not go for the original and best?

meh, debatable. I've owned 2 5150's and a 6505+...I kept the 6505+.

Because I owned a 5150 for 10 years and sold it for $600 a couple years ago.

If you buy one just remember... don't get it from Musician's Friend! Good Luck!

Aye, I have an mkII and I really regret not doing 5 minutes of extra research..
haha

Fair call, I suppose - different strokes once again. To me the MK1 is clearly a superior amp, every single time I've shot the two out side by side. It was also a clear winner to everyone else who happened to be in the room at the time. The original simply has more of that 5150 magic.

 

[poidaobi]

+ the stock peavey tubes. hehe

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

It's officially gone, handed it off yesterday. Really sucks!

 

[6in6flames6]

Haha, I can see the same thing happening to me and my bassist soon. We borrowed a 5150 II to do a quick recording in february and our mate hasn't mentioned it since. Not looking forward to the day he decides we're taking the piss a bit.

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

Good news -- I landed another 5150II...not for keeps but I get to hold onto it indefinitely.

Yay!!!

Moonlapse, any 5150 I vs. 6505 side by side?
