Good thinking! I'll probably sell my 2 pf210's & pf350 now and grab a pf410hlf, and another later when I get some more cash. I'm just wondering if this new amp doesnt mean a new cab coming, like a pf410 sealed ... hmm.. LOL :bassist:

OK, did some more testing of the pf800 with 2 pf210he's, pushed it a bit. Starts to "fart out" if you set both gain and volume >75% using pf210's (also f--king loud). I'd imagine an instantly blown cab if you tried both at 100% ***not even gonna try it *** This was never a danger with...

Got mine in, no issues so far with the pf210s! :) Definately louder than the pf350, in the 3db or so range anyway. Haven't had an opportunity to really push them yet however, it's too loud for an enclosed space. But the headroom is immediately apparent, even at low volumes it is noticeably...

Yep if nothing else, I've gotten that some common sense applies to the volume. I pressed the tech support guy some more and he's insistent you only need to worry about the RMS power, but he agrees you dont want the peak or limit constantly lighting up, only when you hit the bass harder than...

I got curious so I emailed tech support at ampeg, got this back: So I think there might be some false info floating around here. Dont mean this in a "told ya so" kind of way, just trying to keep things right.

If I blow them up I'll post and let you know! It says 450W RMS handling for each on the lit so I'm optimistic. Assuming they got the resistance just right.

Yea I am playing on an open air stage 1/month or so, and my 350 could use a bit more help. I dont always trust the sound guy to get it right in the stage mix (monitors) or even right in general. I like my bass loud and more headroom is always welcome.

Really, they are advertised as being a "perfect fit" for one, and they are dimensionally engineered for this line of cabs. They bear the same line name and are advertised on the same page. Dude, there couldnt be a more direction connection without permanently mounting on the cab (which you can...

Yea, ive read your posts saying such but is this from experience or just theory? I'd like to hear from an A/B tester. Just seems counter-intuitive that Ampeg would be selling an amp thats functionally no louder with the cabs in the same series as a lesser amp.

I've seen a few posts about this using search but doesnt seem to be as much talk about it as the pf350/500. Is it good, bad or ugly?? Got my finger on the trigger to buy! Mind you I'll be pairing it with existing pf210's, for which I had been using the pf350. I like but am looking for a...

I play a duo with my wife for fun mostly and we do it without drummer. It will vary, I've incorporated a lot of slap into songs, and she'll sometimes play the keyboard more percussively. However its difficult to do without the timing suffering at some point particularly if you both sing...

Took me a long time and everytime I think I've got it I learn just how wrong I am. Just remember you dont learn it "all at once", keep practicing and you get better and better. Dont punish yourself for not being perfect. Everytime you attempt it you add to your skill. I know this sounds like...

Thanks I'm using the live version as a starting point, since theres no bass line I can hear on the studio version. I've also thrown in the whistle part during the chorus on the bass too, and some walking lines between the two notes. Its not a hard song, but since we do songs exactly per the...

Thats a cool idea, might see how that sounds myself!

Guys help me out here... asked in the technique section but not sure it belongs there, you guys might be better to pick this out. One of our band wants me to play the bass track for Maroon 5's moves like jagger "like on the studio version". I'm telling him there is no bass guitar on the...
