LOL: This is how I first started out playing bass! That was 12 years ago and I never looked back since.

I went back to the store today, had one more look&listen and decided to buy the Crate stack. Very pleased with it! Thanx for the help!

Nice purchase, hope you enjoy it!

This is the cheapest rig I've come across so far. A decent head alone (by example a Genz Benz Streamliner) will cost EUR800,- or $1140,- I actually compared that to the bt-350. The Crate sounded better to me. How are the exchange rates these days... is the EUR still that strong?

I came across a nice second hand stack today (Crate BT-350+BE410H+B15). It sounded very good, with great lows and plenty of growl. Only thing I didn't like was the built-in chorus. The complete setup cost the same as just the SWR combo alone (EUR900,- or $1278,-). It may not be as high end as...

Thank you for the suggestions! So far I've noted the following to my list of amps to check out: - Ampeg SVT or Portabass - Ashdown Evo - Mesa Boogie Walkabout - Genz Benz Shuttle or Streamliner I haven't spotted an afordable Mesa or Genz-Benz yet (I normally don't buy my gear online, I want to...

Sound advice. I'll make sure to check out some of those Ampegs. But as I gathered from SWR: the older the better. Thanks for the help! Regards, Erik

Ok thanx! Still every answer raises more questions with me... Isn't the Goliath cab 8 ohm? That will only put out half the power (112,5 watts), as the combo internal speakers are 4 ohm. So I need a 4 ohm extension to get the full 2x225 watts right? Does the extension cab need to be a...

No idea (I was born in 1984, plus I'm not much of a gearhead). Maybe because the SVT 450H isn't a "real" SVT? (according to JimmyM) It wasn't a brand new Redhead, but a 1996 Super Redhead. So everyone has a different opinion of what "vintage" should sound like. I wasn't looking for a combo, I...

Thanks for the suggestion. I've played on a lot of 4x10 rigs, including the Ampeg. But why doesn't the 'Classic' line sound like the real 70's classics? Is it the head (SVT-450H) or the cab (SVT 410HE)? I've come across a second hand Mesa Walkabout M-Pulse, but it's the 300 watt over 4 ohm...

Hi there, I could use some amp advice. Here's the thing: I play in a cross-over rap/rock band and do a lot of live shows. Now I'm looking for a nice fat and gritty sound (guess you could say I like it 'old school') that is suitable for mid to large size stages, but does not require a grand...
