    Default Goodwill Score

    Peavey Mark IV Bass Head. For $75 I gave it a shot. Works great, three pots need lubrication or replacement. Going to open it soon to get the dust out & fix the pots. Anyone ever use one of these???

    Never heard one.
    Do you play bass at all.?
    Plug it into a guitar cab and see how it sounds with a guitar.
    Nothing ventured.....Nothing gained.

    no, but I was thinking of buying one at one point, certainly you found the right price point, and it should have enough wattage, every bassist knows they are a great deal and killer entry level head

    They sound decent but tend to be not the most reliable when used for work horse duty. They seem to go ok for 2 or 3 years then they start having heat problems. If your not planning on gigging heavy with it it should be fine. Even if you do gig heavy for 75 bucks it would be worth it if it lasted you only a year or 2

    My band's bassist uses one of those most of time. I think his amp is older than me.

    Yes, this is the one & it's plenty loud......BTW, I don't play bass but couldn't pass. My neighbor plays bass & we've been looking for a bigger bottom end.

    Goodwill doesn't have music stores. It's just luck & being there at the right moment... I'll start cleaning it today.
