    Ampeg PF350/500 Part VI

    I love the Ampeg sound but the trials and defects scare me, would the newer 800 be a better design, better manufacturing plant ect and a better risk than the old ones? Just a thought but maybe China is not the place to put all ones eggs, not wanting to start a flame but is the new plant maybe...

    the Alembic "sound"?

    Sustain as much or as little as your technique can produce. Tone any thing is possible, really. Quality, YES Your technique better be good cause the Alembic is responsive to a fault. Its hard to make an Alembic thud, it always wants to sing, again technique. I love my cheap Persuader an 87...

    If the 15 is the gold standard what is the 18, more/less refined, just louder, thicker thinner, if you could have only one or the other which would you choose/ Are the EQ's different etc, etc? A vs B what you let you know which one you were listing to?
