I play through an american made Ampeg SVT-CL with a Berg NV-610. I've noticed my active basses which I used to prefer when I played solid state equip don't sound as good as my passive ones. I realize it can be 1000 different factors and I have tried several basses and played with the eq a bunch...

Ampeg SVT-CL - American Made NV610 First off the NV610 totally blows away the Ampeg 810E. The guys in my band loved the sound. They all said it was the best bass sound they had played with and they are all very seasoned players. I tried lots of cabs, swr, edens, peavey, gk. 4x10, 2x15...

Not sure, but I will ask and see if he remembers. The cab was actually sold and the guy returned it a few days later said he didn't like it. They took it back and upon checking it out noticed it had EDEN speakers in it. They called AMPEG and they told them it was special made for B.S. and they...

As long as it sounds good, that's what matters. A close friend of mine works at a local music store and recently they accidentally were shipped from AMPEG a custom 8x10 cab meant for Billy Sheehan. So what was custom about it? Ampeg put EDEN speakers in it for him. So the name on the...

The Groove Shop came back to me and said the free shipping they gave me from my online order was an error, and I had to pay an additional $70 for shipping. I expected to pay the shipping charge to start but that was kind of crappy to come back after I made the purchase online and say they had to...

Not talking about the Ampeg 6x10 but the Bergantino NV6x10

I just ordered the NV610 from The Groove Shop online. $1099 shipping was free.:D I read about 1000 reviews of the NV610 until I got so hyped up I whipped out the credit card and ordered it. I will post my impression of it after I get it and put it to the test. You guys just cost Guitar...

Shawn Green with Basson Sound tells me this: "Yeah our cabs just require a certain level of power to operate properly. Our B810B would just not give you the sound you want to get, with that amp(SVT-CL). If you had another power source and the tube amp as a pre amp, that might work." He...

ok, so what's the best/cheapest way to get one these nv610 cabs if i am far away from their dealers? Is their a good way to mail order one or should I just make the road trip to find one?

I just purchased a 2 month old USA made Ampeg SVT-CL what cab should i put with it? Should I just get the matching Ampeg 8x10 cab and be done with it? I'm into old school tones and bands. Someone is selling a used Basson 8x10 cab near me, but the specs say to use 1500 watts min to push...

I'm a longtime metalhead - The cookie monster vocals make me laugh and can be entertaining. Some bands pull it off better than others but overall it has hurt the popularity of metal in my opinion. I think the #1 reason for it is this. Their are lots more rock/metal musicians today because of...

Why do we: park in driveways drive on parkways old Gallagher bit

so size does matter? if that's true why do the Berg cabs that everyone on here raves about have less cubic feet than most comparable cabs. The Mesa cabs seems to be larger than most common brands. The Mesa 8x10 and 4x12 in particular.

I just bought an Ampeg SVT-CL and am trying to figure out what cab to buy too. The NV-215 or NV-610 look great but I would have to drive 250-300 miles to find their nearest dealer. Some others that I'm considering. The Aguilar 4x12 The Genz-Benz 610T-XB2 (top of the list so far) Ampeg...

Invalid Link Removed I follow what the last few are saying but what stumps me is I then look at the Genz-Benz 610t-XB2 that says it's useable to 25hz. It has a bigger cab with more ports than most others. Not knowing any better I would think this cab would give me everything? Would a good...
