Hi SEAWOLF,

Thanks for your BGW input here. The 750 is indeed a beast, too large and heavy for my needs though.

On the other hand people here rarely talk about the original Crest Audio P-3500 with similar assets but in a two rack space unit. That also made some waves back then (late 70s-early 80s, long before it was purchased by Peavey) specially in the Touring market regarding rack space use on the road: packing more power in less space...

I'm already a convinced soul with regards to older BGW gear, 38 years of enjoyment on my part is a pretty long time... Same for the Spectro Acoustics preamp and EQ I had.

As for the newer Ashlys coming, well my post # 12 here did mention "Not sure though the newer amps will last as long as the BGW." Ashly usually makes good gear but my impression is i don't think they'll match the built like a tank of older BGW equipment in terms of longevity and reliability... The good old days seem gone. We'll see down the road how Ashly does.

Regards,

Richard
