I will be returning to Tanzania, Africa this fall from September 22nd through October 2nd with a small team from my church, Perimeter Church. It’s been four years since my last trip and I am grateful to have this opportunity to return and serve. On this trip I will be traveling with a medical team to provide wellness check-ups for about 300 children. We will also be partnering with the local government to assist with HIV/AIDS testing. Having this opportunity to return to Africa and serve is a privilege and a blessing.
I am inviting you to be a part of this journey by participating in a way that will directly impact the work I will be doing on this trip. I need not only your prayer support, but also your financial support as I raise the $3000 dollars necessary to cover my portion of the costs of our trip. Your $50, $100, $250, or larger contribution will go directly to the costs associated with this trip. Your contribution is tax-deductible.

So, I've been looking to reduce the weight of my bass rig. With the advent of all the "micro" bass heads that have hit the market in recent years, I figured I'd read all the reviews and pick one that worked for me. The Mark Bass, Genz Benz, and TC Electronic micro amps all look pretty good. However, in reviewing these, I noticed that they are all $800+ (the ones I liked), self-contained, with a pre amp, power amp, and even a tuner (TC Electronic). Not a problem except that I've used a SansAmp pre for years and I have no plans on replacing it. What I was really looking for is a lightweight power amp to replace my Ampeg B4 boat anchor that I've been lugging around.
I few more searches revealed the new Peavey IPR 1600 power amp. Plenty of clean power, only $300, and less than 7lbs! More powerful, and nearly 40lbs less than the Ampeg! My rack went from a two-fisted 62lbs to a one-handed 25lbs and can still push my 8x10 or 4x10 cabinets with ease.
My current 4x10 rig:
-
Furman power strip
-
SansAmp RBI
-
Korg tuner
