    Ampeg PF350/500 Part V

    Can any of you make a recommendation here. I think I've found the rattle / noise problem with my cab. The foam surround on the speak has come lose in one area. I want to glue it back but not sure what to use. The original foam has sticky tape on it but I am being too logical in thinking that a...

    Ampeg PF350/500 Part V

    Thanks for the response. No the 115he gives me the lows but I wants the second cab to continue the sound whilst giving my more volume. The reason I thought to go for the LF can is because I often get vibration / rattling which I think comes from the flip lid. I've been told that it can't be...

    Ampeg PF350/500 Part V

    I'm looking at the Ampeg PF 115LF 1x15 Cab to go with my pf500 & the Ampeg PF 115HE 1x15 Bass Cab. I've looked at differing combinations of cabs / speakers but love the low end & depths. I know some players have gone for a 4 by 10 but not sure about the results. I feel that the 115LF would give...

    Ampeg PF350/500 Part V

    Just wanted to leave some positive feedback about my experiences with my of 500. I've gigged it several times now, the last one being outdoors. The band has 2 guitarist, drum & vocals & I've hand nothing but compliments about my bass sound. I am using it with am ampeg 115 & an old handmade...

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Six

    No it's classed as walnut. It's a limited run. Only 25 world wide. I was lucky to get hold of it & came away with an excellent deal. Thanks for the number & honoured to be part of the club. Still after advice on what string player use / prefer

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Six

    Got this yesterday. Not the best shot (on my phone) but it will do as a start. She plays great with a really rich sound. Still not sure about the strings yet. Totally converted to a Rick player. Can I get a number please

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Six

    I've been stalking this forum for a while now following a recommendation from a friend about Rickenbacker basses. I've been looking at 4003 for a while & finally tried one out. This was the bass for me!! I have a Fender MIA Jazz & a Gibson Thunderbird which are my main guitars, but I played a...

    Ampeg PF500/350, part 4

    I've started to run my effects through the fx loop but with the dial at noon. I'm using a eq ( because I've always eq every guitar I play) a big muff & a chorus. I have tried to set the effect so they just change the sound not the volume. I originally front ended them but felt I was loosing the...

    Thunderbird Club Pt III

    Has anyone bought or use a BaCHbird?. I've stumbled across them & really like their designs & prices. Experience & opinions welcome.

    Thunderbird Club Pt III

    After having a problem setting up my TBird with regards to the three way bridge I have made a bit of a mess with the tops of the three screws. I plan to use a small nail file to tidy up the tops but touching up the paint? Any recommendations? I thought black touch up paint used to cover...

    Ampeg PF500/PF350 - part 3, I think

    Ok! Think I've got it sorted. Sorry to monopolise the thread but I'm buying the 115cab, which is going for about £100 - that's in my budget at the moment - that why I haven't gone for a 2nd pf115, selling at £370 in the UK. I'll be mindful of the volume & the last time I played with a second cab...

    Thunderbird Club Pt III

    I have tried flats & never really got on with them. Decided that I would use rounds & foam under the strings if I ever needed that sound. I totally agree with you about the 'old' string. I'm never happy with the sound until 3 to 4 weeks & then just seem to get better. The best string I have used...

    Ampeg PF500/PF350 - part 3, I think

    But does that mean that if I would only use this as a second cab - 500 watts @ 4 ohms with a pf115 & SVT115 EN then It should handle it. I wouldn't use it as a single cab

    Ampeg PF500/PF350 - part 3, I think

    Thanks for the advice guys. I owe you a drink & if your down my way then give me a shout but I've spoken to the guy who selling them, told him I want the 115 & checked the label. The cab is a SVT 115 EN & as far as I know it's 400 programmable & 200 watts RMS with normal impedance of 8 ohms...
