hi,
im looking to buy the Ampeg Portaflex PF-350 Bass Head which runs 350w @ 4ohms, along with the Ampeg PF-115LF bass cab which runs 400W RMS power handling @ 8 ohms
iv tried to get my head around the difference between 4ohms and 8ohms, but dont really understand it all....
i just want to know how much power i will be getting out of this head and cab combo??
anyone who can help me out would be greatly appreciated.
cheers. |

| | | | you may be able to direct me in the right direction, as you can probably tell, i havent got a clue about bass amps....
im in a band that play an indie/britpop sound,
im currently playing through an old laney 160w combo which has seen better days, so im looking to buy a new set up...
iv got a bugget of £500-£600
we'r playing venues that range from capacities off 400 to outside festival stages.
what do you recomend i go for?? |

And I don't have the PF115lf and never plugged into one, but I've had the PF350 for a year and a half now, and it's a great little Ampeg sounding head.
