    Ampeg 50th Anniversary SVT

    Bias is ok on it. I'm just seeing if anyone else has one and can let me know what they run theirs at for comparison. It still gets loud and has room to get louder. I just don't want to chase a problem that isn't there, if that makes sense

    Ampeg 50th Anniversary SVT

    So I got my 50th anniversary SVT head and cab. The head got volume on each channel right about 8 O'clock. About 9-10 was more than enough for any indoor thing we were doing. That head unfortunately died and I got sent a replacement. The new one I have to turn up significantly more to get to gig...

    Backordered Ampeg Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT

    So I would like to mention, the '75 channel volume pot is slightly scratchy, but I'm sure some deoxit will set it right. Also, I put the amp in the trailer and at the first gig, 3 of the power amp screws in the bottom of the amp fell out during transport and the other two were very loose. Put...

    Cabinet options to get that SVT810 sound in a smaller, lighter, less powerful package

    I've played quite a few rigs and still drag the 810 around because I can (and it tends to scare guitar players, which I like). I'm going to save up for a barefaced Six10 and think it's going to fit the bill nicely. I hate moving 410 cabinets, personally, easier to move the 810. I liked the 212AV...

    Loudness issue

    Putting a Harley Benton head onto a barefaced cab is pretty hilarious. It's like putting Walmart tires on an AMG Mercedes. I would try a different amp on top, maybe borrow one and see if that fixes the problem. The sensitivity issue is certainly going to be a factor, but if you're going to drop...

    Backordered Ampeg Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT

    Well, the expected date for them to show up at sweetwater came and left with no amps showing up. Expecting 26th now

    How did sunburst become the "default" Fender colour?

    Agree 100%. I have never been a fan of sunburst. I have one sunburst guitar, a sterling SUB with the matte finish and it looks like flat black honestly. That one is getting refinished just because of how much I dislike sunburst. If other folks like it though, that's cool, different strokes and all

    Looking for an amp that sounds like....

    Maybe just toss this into the return of the effects loop of the GK? I have the 800 RB as well and it's a pretty colorful amp in my opinion, so running this pedal into the front of it would probably not do what you want.

    Help me decide - Shure GLDX16+ vs Sennheiser EW 500 G4-Ci1

    I've got the Shure previous model (less the "+") right before they stopped that model to produce the new one, unfortunately. Only unfortunate because I would have rather got the "+" model. I love this wireless system! The battery life is extraordinary and the pedal can mute when you turn on the...

    What's a good amp cab size?

    Gotta get you at least one of these 810s

    Another new member and new trying bassist

    You'll look back on this period of time and be amazed you thought it was difficult. That doesn't make it any better now, of course. Check out Victor Wooten's video on musicianship and improv and you might feel a bit better about starting out

    Backordered Ampeg Heritage 50th Anniversary SVT

    Sweetwater told me they're getting some this Friday (allegedly) and next week as well. They let me know that's just what Ampeg told them, but here's hoping! I will say, I just got my GK 800RB back and it sounds rather fantastic through the 50th 810

    Ported or Sealed Cabs for Outdoor Gigs

    I'm gonna say the thing, get an 810, love your sound. You only live once after all
