Actually, now that I've watched a few demos of them, these babies sound great! Sustain for days and a wide variety of tonal options. Now, I'm starting to seriously GAS for one of these. Thanks a lot, guys!

I'm 1971, so I'm thinking I'll have to get one of these Ampeg Dan Armstrong lucite basses, before I pass from this plane. Always loved the '70s lucite guitars and from the looks of the prices on Reverb, they're not even that expensive. That's probably because they play like poo and no one wants...

Is that Hunter S. Thompson on the drums?! :D

The Ampeg BA210 v2 is right at $500...a little less with a GC 10% off coupon. I love mine, but I've only had it for 2 weeks. It lays back 60 degrees, has the ability to add an extension cab and includes all the other modern features you want, such as headphone jack and media player inputs. I...

That's awesome! What I wouldn't give to have been born 10-15 years earlier than I was, as in 1956-61 instead of 1971. That way, I would've been able to see my heroes in their heydays. My one and only Dead show was in Vegas in 1993. While it was certainly no '70s vintage show, at least I got to...

That's a killer Blues for Allah t-shirt, McG! That's my second favorite Dead studio album, after American Beauty. Of course, Europe '72 is their greatest album, period, but I'm sure you know that already. ;)

Exactly! It only took me lugging it to and from a couple of practices to realize the one strap wasn't going to cut it. A couple of straps would make things much easier when you're getting it in and out of the car. Yes, I'm loving the tone I'm getting out of this thing! I know better gear...

Haha, don't worry! I've lurked around here long enough to know better than to step in that bear trap.

Ha! I actually realized my mistake, after I created the thread, but I was only able to edit the thread body, not the title. I had no idea it was a beaver! I was probably thinking of the oil, originally, hehe.

Thanks for the quick replies, guys, and the welcome, @two fingers! That cart does look handy and 25 bucks is a pretty reasonable price, as long as it doesn't wear out too quickly.

Hey, guys, first time poster, longtime lurker. Last week, I purchased a new Ampeg BA210 v2. I love the amp itself and couldn’t be happier with the purchase. The only “problem” I’m having with it is the weight. While 48 pounds isn’t horrendously heavy, I’m beginning to realize that it’s quickly...
