    2x10 or 1x15?

    High end 115's are great, i'd go with the Ampeg pro neo 115, its light, great tone, powerful, and isnt super spendy. Between the two your lookin at i'd say the 115 would be better, i also play metal and 115's are better for tight low mids and bass. the best would be to get both 210 and 115, or...

    9 string basses???

    LOL, it seems like im gonna have to modify my 6 string or spend more for a custom, atleast if i get a custom i'll know that im getting what i want. but (sigh) conklins base price is $6200, and thats way too steep. theres a luthier that runs a shop locally, i've met him a few times and he seems...

    9 string basses???

    @5string5fingers $1500 would be awesome, but i might go as high as $2000, im not even sure if im gonna make the switch to 9-string cuz i like 6 soo much, i traded my german warwick corvette standard 4-string for an ibanez btb 6 string and im super happy, even tho my warwick was awesome. im...

    9 string basses???

    I was wondering if any knows of a company that has a 9-string bass, other than a custom shop. im looking for a "production" 9-string not a custom. I already own a 6-string and am looking for an extended range bass that matches up with an 8-string guitar tuned to drop E, however all or most of...

    ESP LTD B-206 SM ?????

    I was just wondering if this bass was worth owning or not, the neck looks a bit to thin for me, i play a warwick corvette standard 4-string and im gonna trade it for a 6-string. i was thinking the ESP LTD B-206 SM was a good trade. I know the quality of the warwick is much better but if this is...

    Maxon CP101 Compressor ? ? ?

    Thanks alot swift713, i kinda thought that the cp9 pro was gonna be a bit better. it's seems to have more options than the cp101, but it doesn't have a bunch of stuff i wont use or stuff that would color my tone in any way. im not looking for better tone, just compression, i do alot of tap stuff...

    Maxon CP101 Compressor ? ? ?

    I've listened to a load of sample tracks on the compressor, and all were great, however, all were for guitar. I was wondering if this pedel is worth the cash or if i should go with Maxons higher end models, like the 9 series comp or the true tube comp they offer. all the reviews on the thing are...

    Ampeg V4B manual???

    the whole reason for this post is so i can get to know my head and cab better. both my cab and my head are a bit older, and neither are in production any more so getting the manuals is a bit tricky. you've all been a big help. thanks

    Ampeg V4B manual???

    I just recently traded my ampeg svt 350h for an ampeg V4B. i love this amp and i think i did myself right by trading but i CANNOT find a manual for this amp. i found one for the V4, and that one might be the same as the one for the V4B, but im not sure. there was a post by Nighttrain1127 in 2007...

    70's Ampeg V4b VS Ampeg svt 350h

    this amp needs a new set of tubes and at least 3 new switches, the switches are poor quality to begin with and now they dont even click when you push them wich is a good sign that there goin out, but overall it's a solid head, the more i play it the more i like it, and with what you all said it...

    70's Ampeg V4b VS Ampeg svt 350h

    like i said i love tube heads, their great for metal, but i also like simple head both these heads are simple. however the V4B is quite a bit more simple that my 350h, and to me that means less grabage in my signal path. but i think ampeg did a good job on the EQ of the 350h and i like the...
