SVT II and Ibanez sr500

kurtthompson · #1 10-12-2011, 08:30 AM

Hey guys

I recently bought an SVT II off craigslist but as of now I play an Ibanez sr500 through an Egnater TM4212 guitar amp... I absolutely love the heavy overdrive sound but I'm trying to build a legitimate bass rig and need a fuller sound

As of now I'm missing the subs that would come from a bass amp but my problem is that I don't want to lose any mids because I'm in a three piece and its like I fill atleast 2/3 of the sound spectrum as my guitarist plays rather high.

I'm reading about ampeg hlf having scooped mids for example and maybe Hartke having some of the stronger mids?

I want the full low frequencies especially for my clean tone but almost more importantly I need that capability for in your face overdrive with heavy mids

What is your question? Which cab to pair it with?

I owned the Ampeg SVT 410 HLF and it was a really produced the lows as a stand alone cab.

+1 on the 410HLF. This cab matches up with most any powerful head ( esp. the IIPro and the other Ampeg's) . The best of course is the 810 which is the standard.....

I wouldn't say the 410HLF is all that scooped. Maybe a bit but they can be brought out with EQ. However, I agree with waleross that the 810e is THE Ampeg cab.

With an SVT II is ampeg's PN-410hlf pretty much a dream cab? what competes?

All of Ampeg's 410 and bigger cabs are pretty competitive. Haven't played them, but word I got from Ampeg about the PN series is that they sound like Ampeg but are a little tighter and clearer.
