anyone know anything about guitar amps?

[msina1]

iv had a peavey amp sitting in my room for quite some time now. havnt played in over a year, i recently noticed that a wire round the backs broken, its like, two black wires that connect to a little flat bit, then 2 orangish wires, one of the orange ones broken, if that doesnt explain it enough can post pics, any idea how much to fix, if possible?

Well how much was the amp when you first bought it? Otherwise it comes down to it will cost more to fix then it's worth. IF it was me i'd buy another one. Maybe one of Steve Vai signature models

You can't just solder together the broken wires? Maybe post a pic

Is the wire itself is actually broken or has the solder joint on the end just broken? Either I'd just take it a tech and get them to fix it, it shouldn't cost that much to replace the wire.

its the wire thats broken, will post a pic up later tonight or tommorow,
was just wondering cause i was thinking about selling it, no use for it anymore.

Like already has been said; just solder it up again then slip a small piece of heat shrink over it and no one would know the difference

yeah post up a pic, then we could be of assistance. depending on the model, it might be better for you to do the work, or get an amp guy to look at it.


i dont mind peavey gear, wouldnt mind buying some front of house speakers from them.

yer a pic will help man, but just solder the wires together and heatshrink.

off topic,

Who here plays??

im currently looking at upgrading from my Epiphone SG "Limited" to either an explorer or an esp, have to decide.

 

[old mate]

what model esp are you looking at? the esp models are really nicely finished off, but that being said, so are the gibson explorers.

what sort of stuff do you play?
