a 400w Yorkville 410B.

Why "just no" on the 1510? I've played through one before and was impressed, although it wasn't through my head. As for DIY - I don't have much experience with electronics, but the bigger challenge is finding the time to work on it. I can barely work in the jam sessions as it is, haha.

Not so much in smalltown Canada, haha. Also, anything I could order online usually costs as much or more in shipping to get it here, so I'm kinda limited to what my local shop can order in.

I've got an Ampeg SVT 4 Pro, and it's too much power for my little old 410. No headroom and I want to be able to go mono bridged without fear of pushing it too hard. Got a baby on the way so my budget is limited on this one, otherwise I'd be going with a SVT 810AV. But, I gotta be...

Thanks guys. I think I might just go for it. I'll let you know how it works out. :)

Hmmm... Anyone else have any thoughts? I'm also considering the Ampeg 810E, which would probably be the best pairing for my SVT 4 Pro. I've never really used anything other than 10s and 15s, so my inclination is to stick with what I'm used to, but the 808 is an awesome deal comparatively.

Hey guys. I've been playing bass for about 15 years now, but to be honest I've always tried to keep it super simple effects-wise. I count myself in the Carlos D school of bass in terms of less is sometimes more (for my playing style anyways)... I use a compressor/sustainer and an eq and...

Hey guys. I can't seem to find any reviews anywhere for the Traynor TC 808. None of the gear stores I frequent ever have them either - it's a special order item, so I can't test it out myself. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this cab. I'm curious as to whether the 8" speakers...

Why are these cabs priced the same? In all honestly the 810 is probably more than I need (especially because it outweighs me). I mostly play in recording sessions and small-ish gigs using an SVT 4 Pro, so the 610 is appealing to me, but I can't help but think if I'm going to spend the money I...

Actually the cab is pretty new, problem free and sounds fine. The Trace has some issues, and belongs to one of my band mates, who shares it me (and another bassists) because my old Peavy bit the dust. The issue there is that every time I plug in the settings have changed since I last used it...

Hey folks, I'm looking at some new gear. I'm way overdue for a new bass head (and probably a new cab as well, but that can wait...) and I wanted to get some advice from the pros (you guys) So, right now I'm playing a Fender Vintage Series '62 Jazz Reissue, through a Trace Elliot GP12 SMX...
