What are some of the best examples of the classic SVT sound? Who are the guys you think of and what are the best recorded eaxamples?
Gene Simmons on ALIVE is one of the best examples to me. Im not even a big fan of his but that sound is undeniable. Massive. VH1 is showing a KISS show from 1998 and his sound is still the same. Good stuff.
Who else? |

I don't see the Ampeg badge on the head but his rig appears to be an SVT on top of two 810's stacked horizontally. |

| | | | I would have never thought of that guy! Any track in particular? All the RATM stuff sounds like a Stingray to me. Im not familiar with the Audioslave stuff. |

| | | | Chris Wood's tone when he plays his P-bass in Medeski Martin & Wood is a damn nice SVT sound.

Who else? | Well, I was thinking Cliff Williams, but I saw these two videos and I agree that Gene Simmons is a very good example!
The first one is good but I think the second one is the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SDryjBnaxM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vhsg1BtO54 | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
