i have always said...." a mexican fender bass or guitar just needs a little love to make 'em right". i own a 1994 mex p-bass. i bought it on ebay for $ 77.00 ( amazing huh>). when i got it, it was typical mexican guitar. i set it up, gave it a little love ( the neck was REALLY bad)...and...
im not really sure what these first act basses cost, but it has been my experiance that you get what you pay for. as the owner of 21 bass guitars (ranging from a cheepo lotus to the highest end spectors).... each has its own sound and personality and i really play all of them......sooooooooo...
the difference is....how much do you have to carry it?....i have an 810 cabinet,,,and a 410 cabinet.....i get the same volume from both. so it depends on how much muscle you want to build up !
dude,,,,,,,,i just picked up one of these today.....bought it for $250.00 from a dude on craigslist in Pittsburgh. it was a little dirty and needed cleaned up some...but MY GOD.... the sound it produces roxxxxxxxxxx!.....and NO...i dont wanna get rid of it lmao!
THESE CABINETS ARE BAD ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...i got mine hooked up to an AMPEG SVT PRO 4,,,,,i never heard such a tight sweet bass sound,,,,EVER ,,,,,go get one
the best bass amps on the market today and in the past are now ,and always be AMPEG SVT . pricey, but well worth the money ! behringer are more or less " throw away "...meaning,,,you cant fix them should something go wrong.
hope i helped you....warrin!
