    Stingray Comparison

    Possibly. The question though is how good is a USA stingray compared to my imported one?

    Stingray Comparison

    I've been playing American Fenders for years, got 2 Ps and a J and I mostly play 90's skate punk through an Ampeg stack. With the pandemic and Lockdown, I've been suffering with a bit of GAS so I went to my local guitar shop and had a go on a sterling SUB Stingray 4 and instantly found it fun to...

    What was your first bass amp and how bad was it?

    My first bass amp was a Park GB15-10 practice amp and to be fair it was a good amp. I decided to buy a Marshall Bass state B150 combo - 15" Speaker and hybrid preamp with solid state power and built in compressor. It was ok except when the power switch failed. Oh and the compressor seemed to...

    Ampeg 810 Alternatives

    Hey Everyone I'm looking for an alternative to the Ampeg 810 cab to go with my V4B head. I'm currently using a Heritage 410 HLF, which is a great Cab but I'm now looking for a sound closer to the 810E without having to own or store one. Is there a sealed 410 in the Ampeg range and is it close...

    Ampeg tube amp for home recording

    Thanks for all the replies guys. Having weighed everything up, and having decided there really is no substitute for a P bass with Slinkys and an all tube amp, I bought myself a new V4B. I can honestly say it's fantastic. I stuck a new set of slinky on my '95 P and it's bang on the money...

    Ampeg tube amp for home recording

    I’m not bothered if I sell anything or not. I’m not an engineer either but I do have the UAD 1073 and 1176 plugins. I will undoubtedly be using the 1176 during mixdown but it’s not going to colour tone much.

    Ampeg tube amp for home recording

    I know exactly what you mean. When I’m tracking, I need to hear a raw sound as close to my final, mixed tone as possible. I’ve got a sansamp and I’ve used it with my SVT and it sounds great but recording directly, I’ve literally spent hours and not really got the sound I’m looking for. I’ve got...

    Ampeg tube amp for home recording

    I’m planning on having a mic’d track and a Di track. I’ve mixed with some really hot mix tracks before and my preference is to get it right coming out of the cab. I know it’s not really the done thing but if I’m listening to myself through the amp, I find my playing fits a bit better than when I...

    Does the P50t get dirty if you crank it a bit?

    Ampeg tube amp for home recording

    I'm basically trying to find something which I can drive but not deafen my neighbours, for home use but which can be driven to sound like a 300W SVT but without the volume. I've thought about an SVT3 Pro and V4B and I came across the low powered all tube Ampegs and it got me thinking. The...
