I thought id post a follow up in case anyones interested and finds this thread down the line.. I got the Ampeg Box 410HLF box and paired it with the Markbass Tube 800.. I had a number of problems and wasnt happy.. The heads master pot was crackling badly, it seemed a lot worse than other...

has anyone taken the front faceplate off a little mark 3 head ? I want to get a vinyl sticker made to cover up the front as i dont like the yellow.. It looks like the front plate is just held on by two allen key screws and the nut around the front of the input jack.. Anyone know if i unscrew...

thanks everyone for the ideas..

problem i found with lowering the pickups is the sound becomes more hollow, wouldnt raising the string be the same thing in reverse ? Also i dont want the action to get too high so raising the string would bring that into consideration also.. Id rather play a heavier guage stirng than what i am...

cool.. i'll give it a go, i would actually prefer a thicker guage playing wise so if it helps volume also its win/win..

i have problems with my E string being too loud relative to the other strings on my bass.. I know you can lower the pickup to reduce level but that also changes tone a bit, i was wondering if i change to a lighter guage string for just the E string and would that reduce its level ? I am getting...

i imagine the one i tried would be an asian made model as its new stock.. Im limited for options so i'm going to go that route and hope im not disaapointed. The Markbass cabs in Australia are $300-400 more expensive than what i can get the SVT410HLF for, also i dont like the yellow cones most...

Do you know if there is there any documentation online that shows frequncy reponse curves for the different ampeg boxes ?

thanks everyone for your input, this is exactly what i was hoping to find.. My problem with regards to HLF and cabinet choices is im really limited in what i can try out in stores here in Australia as nobody stocks much so its hard to get an idea.. Then there is the other limiters such as cost...

awesome... thanks for your help.. It seems like a reasonable option for what i want and can afford etc.. did you have any problems with the HLF cab and the Eden head ? Ive read a few things that an underpowered head dosnt push the box properly. If the Eden was only 260 watts just wondering...

anyone using this combination ? Im looking to buy some gear next week and unable to test these together. I like the tube 800 head the most out of everything ive seen (within my budget) but the markbass cabinet (CL104) that i was originally going to put it with has worked out too expensive...

cool thanks..

yeah im on ebay quite a bit.. i want to try and buy this rig within the next week or so if i can so at this stage im probably down to either the Ampeg or the Markbass options from the stores unless i get lucky on ebay in the meantime.. Ive at least been able to try both the 7pro/410hlf and the...

i liked the 7pro and 410hlf when i demoed today, i wouldnt be unhappy with it.. The only reservations i have is being a 4ohm box im stuck with that setup.. Also part of me thinks it would be cool to seek out some different avenues as Ampeg is so common in rock.. i want to keep a solid rock sound...

ahhh cool.. I should try and remember to read the manuals first also.. I always forget i can just download them.. I tried the 7pro out today... I liked it but i found when i dug in and played a bit more agressive the attack of the comp let a few too many transients through for my liking, it...
