    painting luthite

    i have an ibanez EDB690 ergodyne. they stopped making them as of 2006. i find its a gem in my collection and i want to repaint it. the crappy "wood grain" design they put on it is entirely rubbed off in some sections and underneath is orange. that being said my questions are: what types of...

    quick connection question

    is it safe or okay to run everything(rbi+tuner+compressor) off the svt4pro...like just use it as a power amp? i know its not meant to be ran like that, but i have limited rack space and am kind of lazy to sell the svt and buy a power amp (if i had to get one it would be the swr 750) but they are...

    quick connection question

    okay so then it goes bass>sansamp>fx loop return of svt then the fx loop send goes to channel 1 input of 266xl? yeah a lot of rockers seem to prefer the 810, it does push a solid block of air. i'm thinking of switching it for an ashdown mag 410 and 115 so it makes transportation easier. the...

    quick connection question

    when it comes to running the following through an 8x10 classic: -svt 4 pro -sansamp rbi -dbx 266xl compressor now before i begin i just wanna say that the tone i get from just my bass, the 8x10 and the svt4pro im not impressed with at all. notes have limited bottom end and the mid range...

    ashdown cabs with svt.. opinions?

    "Also, make sure that whatever you get equals 4 ohms. SVT's aren't meant to run at 8 ohms." thats why they put a mono-bridge to stereo switch on the back of the svt 4 pro. pending on cab preference...8x10's are normally mono-bridged for full output power, thats the way i was running it with my...

    ashdown cabs with svt.. opinions?

    well the 8x10 pumps..i'll give it that...AND ampeg sounds best with ampeg...is it necessary? no. i only REALLY need a 4x10...if ashdown mags deliver a pretty solid bass tone, then the head or preamplifcation shouldnt really matter. (granted the svt4 pumps 1600 watts so i should watch my levels)...

    ashdown cabs with svt.. opinions?

    thanks for the replies! yeah i know the mags aren't the best of ashdown, but for my price range it seems to fit. what i really wanna do is biamp the lows from the svt to the 1x15 and the highs to the full range 4x10...then texture everything with a sansamp rbi to make the highs crystal clear and...

    ashdown cabs with svt.. opinions?

    so i have an svt 4pro with an ampeg 8x10..sadly being in a band that tours i've decided to let go of the holy beast and switch to something a little more light weight and portable. i know ampeg svt's probably sound best through ampeg cabs...does anyone think ashdown cabs are good...

    sansamp rbi to svt4pro

    ya thats what im thinkin, im bored of the svt by itself so i thought to pump it up a tiny a bit to make the tone cut and make it even more svt-ish lol what outputs and inputs should i use on both the rbi and the svt to ensure the best sound?
