That is true. I do like the extra features the svt7 has.

The best part I get an employee discount. So I can get a brand new Bass Terror for the price of a used one lol. I also like the handle on top and the fact it weighs only 10lbs. I'm still not sure though. So many choices and I'm a horribly indecisive person lol.

Thank you for your input! I would preferably like to have an Ampeg head with an Ampeg cab. The svt7pro is light and compact and I do like the headspace on it. On the other hand my coworker is talking me into an Orange Bass terror. I work at a music store and we’re an Orange dealer. So now I’m...

There's just something magical about P basses. Out of all the basses I have ever owned I always come back to them and I'm here to stay. Back in February I had a local luthier assemble a Franken P bass for me. It has a Squier classic vibe 70's body and an Allparts jazz neck. I modeled it after a...

Last week a made a post getting opinions on what kind of head I should pair with an Ampeg AV212. I narrowed down my choices to the amps mentioned in the title. I have played both before but it has been a while since I had the chance to play them. I play classic metal/prog rock with a fender p...

I had a PF 500 before and I found it just wasn't loud enough for what I wanted. I'm now conflicted between the SVT 7 pro and the Aguilar TH700. Both are the same price new and used. I'll keep that in mind for the AV212. I haven't had the chance to play out with it yet.

Ah makes sense. We only have 1 GC out here.

Wow, really? I honestly would not have guessed. It's been a madhouse out here. Gear flys off the shelves as soon as we get it. I am also considering the aguilar tone hammer. That one was on my radar a couple of years ago.

I work at my cities local music go round. a few mesa boogies have come in and I didn’t like them when I tried them. I felt they were lacking that gritty punch I was looking for. After considering all the opinions I’m 99% certain I’m gonna get an SVT 7 pro.

I’m actually not too enthralled with Mesa Boogie heads. They remind me a lot of mark bass heads and not in a good way. I find both brands tones rubbery and cushy? If that makes any sense. I prefer a more punchy throaty kinda tone. I find I can get that sound a bit better with Ampeg.

Ah I see now. Definitely lightweight, I have bursitis in my left shoulder so anything under 20lbs is preferable. Budget wise I’m trying to stay under $1000. That’s why I’m not too interested in all tube heads. Hybrids and solid states are what I like. I take a bit after my heroes, Steve Harris...

Best for what I need. 4 piece band, I play p basses with flats, and play classic metal/prog rock.

I’m definitely leaning towards the 7 Pro or the portaflex 800. My guitarist isn’t an aggressive obnoxious player so volume isn’t in issue. In fact I’m always telling him to turn up! I’m not really interested in tube amps atm. They’re either too expensive or too heavy. Also tubes have gotten...

One day. Much too expensive for me right now.

That's true. People are more likely to share negative opinions than positive ones. I like the headroom to spare on the SVT 7. Enough power to keep up with any band.
