      I do believe the 5150 and the later 6505 have changed the precipitation of Peavey among the younger crowd...... :p

        Yeah but they did their job when Lynard Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet blazed through them.

          Tell ya what, aside from weighing as much as a Volkswagen, they were pretty damned reliable. The 400 watt head and 9 speaker cabinet I used to play through could power just about anything, including a bass or keyboard. You could spill beer on 'em, drop them off the tailgate of the truck, generally beat the crap out of 'em until they landed on the stage, and would work wonderfully...unless that stupid little 19 cent overload fuse went bye-bye, and then you were pretty much on the fucked side. If you were smart, you'd remove the back panel and hope the damned thing would not overheat.

          Which pretty much explains why I had one of those Eckerd drugs oscillating fans behind my amp rig. I'd have hacks and boneheads asking me if that was where my deep sound of sludge came from. Shit, all they had to do was look at how I overloaded the bass, set the mids at 1/4th and rolled off the highs. My chords were majestic noise, my leads vaguely Ace Frehley/Tommy Iommi, with a little Jeff Beck sarcasm. Fuck it, I found that sound sometime circa 1976 or 77, and have used it ever since.

          Little did I know that Cheap Trick, The Clash and about 15 or 16 southern rock bands (Hello, Blackfoot, first in line along with Molly Hatchet) would steal my idea and make a pretty penny while doing so.
