    Ampeg SVT-7 PRO, cutting out, brand new...

    Awesome, thanks for the update. I hope, like you, that my problem was just the loaner that I had. I too, don't gig out, but I've been known to turn it up a little in the house, when no one's home... he he

    Gibson, at least they're trying…Les Paul Junior Tribute Bass

    I've never owned a Gibson bass, but I've always been intrigued with their LOOK.. the old EB-0's and 4's had an AWESOME look to them, and I've picked up a couple, but they just never seemed to be serious about the bass side of their offerings, in my humble opinion. I'd like to hear from others...

    Ampeg SVT-7 PRO, cutting out, brand new...

    I brought home the new one several months ago, and I've cranked it a few times, no problems. And I have NOT insulated the head from the cab, to make sure that if vibration was the culprit, it would rear it's head (so to speak! :) and it has not.. so far, I'm pretty happy with it.

    Ampeg SVT-7 PRO, cutting out, brand new...

    So, just to follow up on this, I went ahead and bought a brand new SVT-7Pro and an 8/10 Classic cabinet... monstrous sound! I am unable to duplicate the head cutting out on this new one, but will try to keep everyone updated here at TB if I have any issues. I really don't play out live with this...

    Ampeg SVT-7 PRO, cutting out, brand new...

    Hey guys... I just brought home a (loaner) SVT-7 pro with a 410 stack. Evidently, Ampeg has just been sold (again) to Yamaha this time and the amp I ordered is on hold from the mfr. The power of this thing is UNBELIEVABLE, and goes well with my Rick. However, during play, it would cut out and...

    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    The first is my original '76 P Bass, which I bought new, and played the heck out of. Was considering restoring it so it would work right (still sounds pretty good though!) Second is my new 2017 Ric 4003s in Midnight Blue. I had the hardware powder coated black and replaced the stock white...
