Advice

[DonaldBort]

I have a slight dilemma and would like to query the masses to see what others would do.
My TSL 100 is out of commission and not worth putting the money in to bring it back to life....So I am in the market for a new head.

I came across a peavey 6505+ (1 year old) with a 6 month old marshall 1960 4x12 (w/75's) cab. the price is way to good to pass up and so good I don't even want to mention it on this forum.

Now the dilemma is when the TSL died I had my sights set on a JVM 210h.

I don't have the $$$$ for both the JVM and the 6505+ right now, however I do not need another cab. Marshall Cabs in my local area just aren't flying off the shelves as there are many out there and the 6505+ was not my first choice in a head, but I can make it work...

Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated... what would you do, go with the great deal that does not come around all that often, or spend the extra 500 bucks and get the JVM???????

Thanks in advance everyone

Go ask the same question on the Peavey forum

You could send the TSL to me...

JVM, but you may be able to buy this one, sell the cab (even if it's cheap), and come up with enough cash later to buy the JVM. Or, buy it and resell it for a profit if it's that good of a deal.

Go for the JVM. They are great. Go for a 420h IF you can afford it.

I bet you could get some $ for your TSL as is. eg I'd take it on as a project if the price was right (if it was near me though!) and i bet others would too.

i'd get that pV/1960 deal, but only if you think you could sell it for at least the same later, othewise, the JVM.

Broken amps have valve. Tv's and DVD players you throw out. Tube amps you fix or sell to somebody as a project.

Sell the TSL and get the JVM.

Your TSL must have really went down hard not to want to fix it ??
Sorry to hear that ....

 

[newbies]

Jvm, you can get good metal tones as well as versatility!!

 

[Micky]

Really. How much to ship me the TSL?

 

[DonaldBort]

Okay this is the deal.... The 6505+ head and 1960b cab I can take home for 750.00.
I am looking at this as a business decision and not a sway in AMP loyalty.
I am sure I can sell this head for 750 itself and still have a new cab...

I would have offered up the TSL but a friend of mine locally took it already to play around with.

I agree with the JVM's versatility, this is what attracted me to it. Whereas the 6505+ is, in so many words a 2 note head.
However it's the price that has me considering it...and the 6505+ (if purchased) will only delay the purchase of the JVM and not take the place of.

Thanks for the responses

Do you have a link to this model??? I am not familiar

I type faster than I think....that was supposed to be value!

I'm sure it's a typo...

Marshall Amps :: JVM410H

JVM = series
4 = channels
10 = 100 watt
H = head

other designations
2= channels
05 = 50 watts
C = combo

there's no 200 watt model, so the "20" is most likely just a mis-type.
