    CPB-60s Compact Bass P-Bass model CPB-60s 3TS

    I've seen these short scale p-basses on [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] with not a review to be found. Anyone here have one? opinions? I've been wanting a short scale bass, and at 300$ - it might be worth considering

    Opinions on the SVT 212 AV vs SVT 810 - not for volume, but for tone?

    an important factor of the 810 is the ear level speakers. you don't get that with your 212 down at your knees.

    I've a NV412. Should I get an SVT810E?

    The first one I had was a 2006 810e, it was made of 5/8" chipboard and had a 7 ply baffle. Then I bought a second hand 2005 810AV because it would match my head, it was made of 3/4" particle board but had an 11ply baffle. I owned them both for a while and it was an easy decision to sell the...

    Why is it better to overpower than to underpower a speaker?

    My Ampeg SVT Classic keeps going into emergency standby mode?

    measure your wall voltage and report back. (and consider driving your amp will reduce the voltage even more) Does the Classic have the same safety feature as the SVT-VR (going into standby with low voltage)?
