Hi OldNewb

The bass sounded fine to me as it was. I had my Tyros mixer set in the typical v positions, the lo, mid and hi adjusted on the PA head along with about a 9 band eq adjusted. It made for some very nice fine tuning. I by no means had the bass turned up full either.

I think it would take a lot to convince me to use a sub, as I really don't need or like boom-boom, thump-thump. Plus the extra gear.

I see you're from Milwaukee. I came from Jefferson, Wis. I used to have a full line music store in Watertown.

The store I went was here in Pensacola. Here's their site, but I don't see Peavey listed there.
