    Firebase vs Tour 700 vs MiniMega

    Thanks everyone. I pulled the trigger on the miniMega last night. As luck would have it I might also be making a trade for a VB2!

    Firebase vs Tour 700 vs MiniMega

    I'm leaning mega right now. The only thing that is holding me back is I liked my Firebass tone and I am thinking the Tour 700 might have more of that Peavey tone as I read in the Mini Mega thread that the engineer designed the Mega based on the tone in his head, and I have no idea what that...

    Firebase vs Tour 700 vs MiniMega

    I'm curious to see what others think about this. Which amp is better? Firebass, Tour 700, or MiniMega. I owned a Firebass. I loved it, but sold it because at the time I needed more than 275 watts @ 8 ohms. I've always been more on the vintage Ampeg side of sound... I'm gassing for another...

    Does the SVT-3 PRO have a problem with active basses?

    Hello TalkBASS. I am a long time reader, Player of 20 year, but I just finally joined...I am hoping you will share your vast wealth of knowledge with me. I have an issue. I saw one other user made a thread like this in 2004 but there was not a reply, so I figured I'd try again as I need to know...
