    Ampeg PF-115HE vs. PF-115LF when paired with PF-500

    I'm having the same dilemma. Definitely picking up a pf500 but cant decided whether to go 115he or lf. Would the 115he be considered more versatile due to the added horn? Or would the pf500 really benefit from being able to get a lower frequency from the 115lf? Although I'm certainly...

    Ampeg PF vs Hartke Lh

    Oh and as far as volume, pretty sure they could keep up with 3 guitarists and 2 drums!

    Ampeg PF vs Hartke Lh

    My lh500 got plenty bright and punchy but absolutely no way to get any grit or drive out of it. Hence why I flogged it for an ashdown abm.

    800RB's with 15" cabs.

    Sorry if this has been covered before, ive been wading through countless 800rb posts with no joy. What are the tonal differences between 1x15s and 4x10s whilst running an 800rb? What does an 800rb with 15" cones have that an 800rb with 4x10s doesn't? And vice versa? I'm considering getting 2...

    Is an 8 ohm cab acceptable for recording?

    Thanks my man. This will be our 5th time recording in this studio. I've always wanted to give mixing a di signal with micing but pur producer seems to think goin just mic will give a more natural sound. We get to go analogue instead of digital so I'm always happy to just trust him...though I...

    Is an 8 ohm cab acceptable for recording?

    Ok so the 1 speaker being mic'd will be loud and full enough while its not using the amp heads full wattage?

    Is an 8 ohm cab acceptable for recording?

    Sorry if this has been covered, but I have searched extensively. This weekend I'm back in the studio, only I've now got 2x 8 ohm 410h ashdown abm cabs. My question, is a single 8 ohm 410h cab going to sound 'full' enough? Or do I need to use the full stack and achieve 4 ohms to get good...

    Is it just me or is my Pbass seriously HOT?

    So you think my stock p pickups are just that much louder than a quarter poundered jazz?

    Is it just me or is my Pbass seriously HOT?

    I thought it might be a case of different quality electronics or something. But its only since getting this new amp that ive noticed the p isn't just hotter than the jazz, its really hot for the amp too. I'm sure I've read that the optimum input level is 3oclock for most people with this head...

    Is it just me or is my Pbass seriously HOT?

    The pickups are angled with the closest pole pieces about half an inch from the strings. No closer than the quarter pounders in the jazz.

    Is it just me or is my Pbass seriously HOT?

    So I've just gotten myself an Ashdown 500 abm evo ii and I played my MIM jazz through it (which has sd quarter pounders and a badass bridge installed), this had the input gain at about 2 o'clock and stayed nicely just out of the red zone on the dial. I then played my MIJ completely stock pbass...

    Has my MiM Jazz Bass got a blend knob?

    I've been doing some research on here and it seems everybody is saying Fender have never done volume/blend/tone on passive basses. I'm finding when I turn down my (neck) volume knob, then I'm getting no signal from the bass at all, even with the bridge knob all the way up. But when the neck...

    Ampeg PF500

    I'm strongly considering grabbing myself the pf500 as an upgrade to my hartke LH500. I'm unable to try before I buy so would that be a decent upgrade? I'm using a VT bass pedal with the hartke to get a nice driven grindy tone anyway so would the pf500 be a good addition to get that sweeeet ampeg...

    badass II fret buzz

    That's just it, I'm not even after what you could consider super low action, just a 'regular' action would suffice. I downloaded a set-up guide that somebody here posted a link too, and it says if pressing on the 1st and last frets then you should have between 0.3mm-1.0mm and no more between...
