    Ampeg PF-500 and 115HE; A Cabinet of Dilemas

    All of this pretty much answers all my questions. I'll look into getting another as soon as I can. I have so much stuff to buy, but it's on my list. I'll post back when I do have the second cab (whenever that may be!) and we'll see how happy it makes me! Thanks guys!

    Ampeg PF-500 and 115HE; A Cabinet of Dilemas

    Do you recommend any 4x10s in particular? I see that they have one for the PF series already! Is that one good? It's the cabinet. I feel like the cabinet limits the speaker really horribly. I guess what I'm looking for is more headroom! I guess that is why you posted that I get a second...

    Ampeg PF-500 and 115HE; A Cabinet of Dilemas

    About a year ago, I was getting tired of my old ten watt Peavey combo amplifier for my bass. I wanted something bigger! Something better! Something louder! Something I could play a show with if ever given the opportunity! So I drove my butt down to the local music store and I was shown the Ampeg...

    Rickenbacker pickup dilema

    I know this thread is dead but I finally got my old password back and figured I'd update everyone - even if it is about six months late! I decided to take the cheapest and what I considered to be the smartest rout and have them rewound. I have yet to do this because I have started working and...

    Rickenbacker pickup dilema

    So after reading all of the suggestions ya'll posted, I'm strongly considering the Classic Amplification pickups. To be honest, the biggest deciding factor is how much they cost. I'm sure they're very good pickups, but I don't have the $250 to spend on them at the moment. :crying: However...

    Rickenbacker pickup dilema

    I didn't mean to come off like that, I'm sorry. Your comment about selling it wasn't exactly the nicest either. Just because I want to swap a pickup, doesn't mean I should sell the instrument. A lot of people swap out pickups in this bass, it doesn't mean they should sell it. I understand...

    Rickenbacker pickup dilema

    First off, I never said I was going to sell it one day. I plan on keeping this bass until my body is cold and lifeless in a hole in the ground. And second, it's just a direct replacement pickup. I want a direct replacement because I don't want to mod it. If I wanted to do modding, I would have...

    Rickenbacker pickup dilema

    Excuse me, but I do like it and I don't want to sell it. I just want a thicker sound, that's all. If they won't look at it just because I swap one pickup, then they can look away because that's what I want to do.

    Rickenbacker pickup dilema

    I looked up some sound clips of the HB-1 and I really like it! If I were to get the HB-1, would I have to mod anything to get it to fit onto my bass? If I don't I'm so going to get it!

    Rickenbacker pickup dilema

    I recently bought a Rickenbacker 4003 I love it. It's such a wonderful instrument, however my neck pickup isn't as thick as I'd like it. I'm also not really a fan of the humming I get when I'm using only one pickup. I do like the bridge pickup though. I know that if I switch, I'll most likely...

    Light string gauges?

    Okay! I'll look into them more! Thank you for the advice about the strings though! :)

    Light string gauges?

    Yay, another New Yorker! :) Interesting! The thing is though, I was highly considering changing the pickups in my Rickenbacker to the Bartolini replacements ones as I'd like a bit fatter of a tone. Another thing is that I was also considering putting them in my P-bass. Would I lose that...

    Light string gauges?

    Hello! (This is my first post on TalkBass by the way! :)) I have a question about string gauge! When I got my Rickenbacker 4003, I really liked how the D and A strings were really light. At the time, I was a big fan of Rotosound I quickly got it set up for Swing 66s and forgot all about my...
