    Ampeg SVP-CL Preamp - Super clean!

    Is this one of the USA made SLM era units?

    QSC PLX2-1804 (Chicago)

    You can run just one speaker off this amp right? then have the ability to add another if the situation arises? Would I need 4 ohm cabs or 8 ohm cabs to do that? I'm looking at Avatar B410 Neos. I can't imagine me needing two Avatar B410's but like the idea of future expansion if needed.

    Dual preamps into one power amp?

    Ray, I am pretty much thinking your current setup is what I am looking to do with the addition of another preamp that way I could cover more tones. I was thinking the 1804 looked great but was worried it would be too much power for me but I really like the idea of being able to run one or both...

    Dual preamps into one power amp?

    Forgive my probably simple question but I don't know the answer, can I have 2 preamps (like an Ampeg and an Alembic) running into the inputs of one power amp like a QSC and just plug into which ever preamp suits the sound I'm after at that moment? I think haveing this ability and the ability to...

    Confused...too many choices!

    I have been away for a couple decades and upon my return I am floored with all the options out there for bass amps. Is it possible to have one amp that is able to cover blues/soul stuff with my tapewound strung precision and "hi Fi" modern slap/funk tones with my roundwound maple board Jazz...

    Bass VI/Baritone help!

    There is the coolest custom shop Fender Bass VI shell pink relic on EBAY right now, if I had the 3K it would be on its way here, barring that you can't go wrong with a Jerry Jones

    Motown thump on a P bass?

    I kinda think the covers look cool, is having that big chrome pickup cover in place a hinderance to hand position or playing technique? I'm just a beginner so I don't have any certain habits developed as to favorite hand position or anything yet so I may just go with the covers and foam trick. I...

    Motown thump on a P bass?

    I've got a brand new Am Std P on the way and a fresh set of Labella flats. I am thinking of installing a bridge cover and some foam like they used to to get that muted thump you hear on all the old records. Is this still the way to get that sound? Is it worth putting 2 holes in the bass to...

    Ampeg B100R line out?

    Oh....dang, so then I would need to buy a DI? The line out on this B100R is just a 1/4 female jack. Please forgive my lack of knowledge, I am an old dude and technology escapes me. Last time I was around this stuff 4 track recorders with cassettes were high tech!!

    Ampeg B100R line out?

    Hi guys, after reading through some threads here trying to figure out my first bass amp purchase, I decided on a very mint Ampeg B100R from the SLM era of Ampeg. I am new to all this and am wondering how the line out on this amp works, if I wanted to use it to go into small PA would I just use a...
