You know, this has got me thinking (dangerous... I know :eek: ) but what if I hate the Bongo? I never played one, I've only heard one in person, and that was being played by a guy who plays waaaaaay different than me... he's good!

I mean, after all the begging for a lefty I did, all the joy I had when they started making them, after the pants wetting incident when i actually placed my order... what if I hate it??? Is it possable...


And... I've Owned A Peavy AMP!!! OHHHHHH NOOOOOOO!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:







but... but, I was a kid, i didn't know what I was doing, I... I, was a keyboard player then, a friend came in from out of town, I had a flat tire, I ran out of gas, I couldn't afford a better amp back then, the bridge was out, locust!!!


Will I ever say "Bongo's suck"??????




















I don't think so. :D :D

One of my first rigs was this new fangled bass called a StingRay back in the late 70's through a Peavey TNT60...do I miss the amp?? No. Do I wish I still owned my '77 Ray??? You decide.

I imagine that most of us that live in the states and are over 40 have owned something Peavey along the way. It was pretty popular in the '80s.

I had 2 TNT 130 BW combos and I also owned a Mark IV head with a 215 BW cab.

1982-ish:

Peavey Centurion head
2 1x15 Cerwin Vega cabs
Active crossover
450 watt Traynor power amp
2x15 Peavey cabinet

WAY too much amplification. WAY too little skill (I'd been playing, like, a year). Scary loud.

My only excuse is that the guitarist in the band (who we called "Dr. Distortion") had a 200 watt Peavey head and he insisted on using all of it.

I also owned a Peavey T40 back then. My shoulder still hurts.

Peavey was indeed very popular back in the day because it was good bang for the buck. There weren't a lot of options if you were a starving college student who couldn't afford something better.

Hey, Joe Nerve still gigs with a Peavey!

What happened to him, anyway? I think he was profoundly affected by those Russian girls and hasn't recovered yet.
