I owned one of these and yes, sold it because i found it heavy and impractical to own. All I can say is, after listening to old live recordings of my playing this cab, it has such a deep, rich tone that cuts through the mix beautifully, I would, if I still owned one, buy the correct speakers for...

check out the Schroeder 212L- weighs less than 40 pounds- rated at 800 watts 4 ohms, and it is the size of 1 110 cabinet. Bass Central carries them- google Bass Central then look for Schroeder or just Google Schroeder Bass Amps. Great cab, doesn't have the low end of a heavier cab but it will...

absolutely, forgot about Carvin, they make good stuff at very reasonable prices, their bass combos look very good.

Check our Schroeder/ They make a 212L that is the size of a 112 cabinet, weighs less than 40 pounds, fits in the passenger seat of my CIVIC and is rated at 800 watts, 4 ohms. I'm not going to say it can get as deep as my Ampeg or Bergantino cabinets but it has great tone and character all it's...

My bad, it's the Heritage B-15, not the porta flex that ampeg re introduced this year. They made a limited run, from what I've seen and heard, they sound obscenely great but are also obscenely expensive. Sorry about the bad info. I'd get one if I had the scratch.

you mentioned that you were a beginner so that's why I recommended combo. You do start pricing yourself out of your range when you are looking at separate amp/cab combinations. The GK we're recommending to you is a great next step. If you like that sound, and decide to buy it, when you're ready...

I gotta tell you the Tech 21 Sansamp RBI sounds really close to an SVT. If you have a good bass cabinet (I use SVT Classic 410 HLF or Bergantino HT322 or Schroeder 212L) a clean power amp (Stewart World 2.0) it gets amazing tube warmth & crunch. Great natural sounding over drive. You play...

He could buy one of the GK MB amps new; it's in his price range. As far as used, used stuff from Guitar Center is a pretty safe bet, they usually don't buy junk and they re sell it at a reasonable price. I find them to be pretty up front about their used stuff.

I want Tech 21 to make a rack unit that emulates a porta flex as well as the RBI emulates an SVT (the trick is you need a good ampeg cabinet with eminence speakers). I have the Tech21 VT stomp box and that come close but falls short. They make amazing stuff, their analogue pre amps sound as...

Ampeg re introduced the Porta flex this year, it is $4000. 25 watts but it sounds a good as anything you have ever heard in your entire life.

GK Makes the 2001 RB- rated at 1050 watts. I own one, it's amazing.

It depends on what you like, you should really go to a local music store and try out stuff in your price range. That being said, I recently got a GK MB112- it is a combo (just google GK MB112) and I like the fact you can get great tone (GK makes great sounding bass gear), it has a headphone...

i have heard that too, the placement of the compressor depends on the type of effects used. i used the MarkBass Compressore in front of my sansamp and it just added to the tube crunch to where i sounded like an SVT on steriods (in a good way). The mark bass is also a tube compressor and from...

To clear up the "uneven" comment I regrettably made, I should preface 2 things: 1) I've only had the Stewart 2.1 for a short time. I noticed that several times playing (once live) that the amp is very quick and can produce some volume variances that I did not feel were "attack" or "technique"...

I do use passive basses (Fender American Standard P and J Basses) but the sansamps have High Impedance inputs. I'm going to end up trying the compressor first and last and see what works best. Thanks for the input guys.
