I just stumbled upon this thread. I own one and love it. I considered using it live with the exact configuration as you did except I would have ran it through my SWR cabs. I own a GK800RB and when it had to go into the shop I just about bought a clean power amp and ran it as the preamp. Instead...

The specs are to entice those asking stupid questions like, "What is the loudest amp out there?" I bought the Nuke to replace a GK 800RB while it was in the shop cause it was affordable and I needed something with balls. Well the GK is out of the shop and it lives on the shelf for now. The Nuke...

Sounds like a great excuse to get a really good pick-up... sounds like an older pickup for that to happen... get something that kicks its ass and replace it.

Perhaps there is a little truth to this response... but I'd like to think we bassists aren't so shallow. I much prefer the sound of a 15 inch speaker for bass. But to answer you... and this is only my opinion. As I recall, it was the early 80's when all 10 inch cabs took off. The sales pitch...

I'm an aging musician with a bad back... this just looks stupid to me. Who's gonna pack that thing to a gig? But it most certainly does fit the bill of overkill.

This guy here is the most intelligent and experienced of you all. More volume won't make you rig heard any better if you are already saturating the room in the low frequencies. For some reason... guitarists like a "PHAT" sound... which interpreted correctly means they like lots of bass in their...

Why is everyone so down on Behringer stuff. I got their stuff in my studio and on the stage. I've no complaints at all. If its good enough for Alex Lifeson... its good enough for me.

I'm curious as to why the choice is one 15" and one 12" speaker. I'm assuming you are looking for something that will thump. Big speakers aren't necessarily the answer. What amp is going to drive these puppies? What kind of tone are you looking for? A 15 paired with 10's are a standard in most...

I must play louder than you... Everytime I put my beer on my amp it vibrates right off and onto the floor. But I hear ya man... the bass amp only has to tickle my balls, It's the soundman's job to tickle the audience.

Stage amps are becoming obsolete period. I remember years ago at a Ted Nugent concert... he had rows of Marshal amps stacked up and they were all just for him. I saw him a few years ago... the wall of Marshall amps were still there.... Except, they were just stage props. Before the concert...

Ever heard of washing the track? Any digital audio editing software worth its salt enables the user to wash the track and eliminate those types of hums and hisses. You'll get more humms and hisses from going DI from your AmpegSVT pro and miking it on a second track. You still have to wash the...

I'm completely dumb-founded. I can't even imagine not wanting to get better.

I bought my first V-amp (for guitar) Soon after a friend took his Line-6 POD back after letting me use it for a few months. I used it a lot for recording my guitar tracks. I was hooked on the technology so I went out and bought the V-amp 2. Immediately, I discovered the tones seemed much more...

Ok... I bought the Bugera Nuke bass head. Out of the box I was really impressed with the tone of my high notes. They seemed to sing. You could get all the low end too. It took some playing to figure out if I wanted to go mono bridged or bi-amp. I decided the bi-amp was the way to go with my SWR...

How strange it is that almost all of the people that badmouth Behringer have never owned one. I've got nothing but good things to say about the company. Things may change since they no longer have an office located in the US. I'm sure that's because the US economy is in the tank and soon we'll...
