| | | | I was just able to play it for a few hours and wow it sounds good. I like it a lot better than my ampeg 410hlf |

| | | | By looking at the serial number on the speakers I was able to determine its from 1985. |

| | | | Yeah I'm really enjoying it. Should I worry about running my ampeg pf-500 through it. The head is rated at 500 watts but the cab is only rated at 200? |

Perhaps time to go the whole hog and get a Superbass. |

that thing isn't really much more than a guitar cab. don't push it too hard with that amp, especially don't push too much super-low lows.

| | | | Ok thanks. Would an ampeg v4b work well with it? That's a head I've been looking at and wanting to get. And if not what heads (preferably tube) would go well with it?

| | | | Any tube heads? |

I have an earlier Marshall 4x12 Bass with 25 watter's, so at 100w total you have to tread carefully and as Walterw mentions go easy on the Lows, but at the end of a gig the speakers are hot and breaking into an incredible distortion, matched with a 4001 and the power tube distortion it's a snarling heaven. |

| | | | Thanks u very much that makes me very happy! Any other good tube heads that will match it well?
