Your lucky if your Behringer stuff lasts in the bedroom. Take it on the road and it self destructs. I actually watched a Behringer bass amp go up in smoke. The power stages take a beating because they have to put out a lot of juice and still keep the headroom. Bass frequencies just eat up cheap power stages. I would avoid Behringer and Hartk like the plague. Especially if you are taking the stuff around to gigs. It just doesn't hold up.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I tired that new Carvin light weight bass head with the preamp tube you can switch in or out. The thing is great. You can nail any tone and it's $400. MADE IN USA too. I notice Peavey is making their stuff in China. A lot of it. Only the high end is USA made so I'm leaning to Carvin now. I've used their mixers and they are great. If you can't tell I'm in a MADE IN USA kick.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I watched an interview with Hartley and he said he could have sold Peavey off a long time ago and retired a rich man. He says he stays in the business because he still enjoys it. His philosophy is to use new technology to create a quality, affordable product that's useful. He's not so much into selling nostalgia or image. He's into technology and doing something different. I really don't think Gibson fits into Hartley's business model.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

In an interview he was showing the Peavey custom shop. He kind of seemed bored and said he had 45 years of tube amp building experience and it really wasn't anything new but customers are interested in boutique amps so they decided to get into the business of doing that. Where he clearly was excited was that new tube bass head with the switchable power supply. Also, the new light weight power amps. He's into new things and he was really excited about that new power supply technology which his engineer on his payroll exclusively designed for Peavey. He went into all the problems with such supplies and how it took them years to get it right and reliable.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Gibson is a nostalgia, high end brand. In a way, so is Fender. Those companies are about selling the old designs of the 50's and 60's. They may innovate those designs but it's still Les Paul's, SG's, Flying V's, Explorers, Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jazz Basses, Precision basses ect... They sell nostalgia. Harley Davidson did the same thing in their marketing. Take old technology and put a modern spin on it. It's basically selling childhood dreams and memories more than technology.No!
