| | | | Best cab configuration for an SVT3 Pro?
Hi.
What would be the ideal cab configuration for an SVT3 Pro? I currently have 1 SVT-15E.
I play loud, heavy rock, live.
I'm looking to fully utilize the head for the best, loudest sound I can get out of that amp.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thank you! |

Don't mix a 1X15 with a 4X10
Also agree with disregarding the EQ'ing advice - Don't scoop the mids

| | | | Can you explain why I shouldn't mix cabs? I've seen plenty of bass 'stacks' that had a 1x15 and a 4x10 on top. If they work out with respect to impedence, shouldn't that be ok? |

Why the re-hashing of the same question?

Would rather have you understand the answer, than expect you to just follow direction.

The B series is budget gear from Ampeg - it's not bad stuff, but if you are constantly re-coning speakers, you need to make a LARGE upgrade. I have NEVER need to re-cone or replace a speaker in my 10 years of playing.
Look in the used market, buy from a local bass player. You can tell in minutes if the guy actually took care of his gear. Post back stuff you find on craigslist.org and we will help you decide. Visit Guitar Center on a weekday afternoon - if possible - when no one is around. Take your bass, 3 PRO, and plug into every cabinet they have until you find something better. Then get two of those cabs. |

I'd suggest a 2x15, 610, or 810. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
