Why alot of Peavey Nashville 1000 for sale

[Mike Brown]

Well, I would comment on the weight vs. tube vs. costs, but I believe that this has been covered over and over again on this Forum so there is probably enough info for research. But, yes there are just a few players who want a tube steel amp, and yes there are a few who say that they would pay more for a tube amp but when the numbers come in, there are too few to maintain sufficient numbers to cover production costs, and yes these low numbers of players would drive the cost of the amp up. I guess that the bottom line is that manufacturing a steel amp is almost a "custom" request, which almost means "custom" prices.

We constantly research ideas for new products, but if there is not enough interest in certain products, we have to move on to better things. Case in point; we designed the Classic Series 120/120 stereo all tube power amp back in '96 and it wasn't as successful as we had wished, so it was removed from the product line.

Our latest steel amp, the Nashville 1000 is selling very well. However, there is always room for new ideas.
