    Should I be worried?

    Guys that play a 5 string...

    I play my low b open all the time, now I don't ride it or anything of that sort, but playing in a worship band, any song in the key of b usually sounds fantastic ending on that low b. Our guitarist also plays in drop d and im no fan of drop tuning, so when the drums are doing hits and he's over...

    Ampeg Svt 3 non-pro Questions

    Im currently eyeing a 4x10hlf on craigslist for 375$ which isn't bad at all. 4x10's and a 15' sounds good, but carrying around two cabs just doesn't sound appealing to me. So ittl probaly have to be just the 4x10hlf.(:
