I use a Ampeg 112.... I'm not competing with drums, but it is great for both practice and small gigs.

What do you consider a practice amp wattage-wise? What instruments do you need to compete with?

I ended up getting a Slap King that I'm pretty stoked about. I put some rotos on it and have been slapping for about a week now. I look forward to the journey ahead. Link Removed

Thanks for the advice guys... I've been gleaning everything I can from the internet thus far... and there is A LOT. I also have a few instructional dvds on the way in the mail that were suggested through a few forums. I have a few leads for instructors, but nothing set yet. If I can't...

I'm new to the upright world and I am on a quest to find a teacher that specializes in rockabilly in the Philadelphia area. Up to this point I've only found classical and jazz players.... who obviously could teach me A LOT, but I'm more interested in being a stylitically good player than an...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm passing on this guy... meeting today with a guy about a King that I'm pretty stoked on. I'll post pics if I end up with it.

I'm finally taking the plunge! I'm taking a trek tomorrow to see this guy: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I'd appreciate any feedback I can get before I make the drive regarding your thoughts on the bass and if there is anything I should be cautious or look for when seeing the...

I'm looking at adding another avatar cab to my rig.... Presently I'm playing an American '57 Reissue through an Ampeg SVT-4 with the Avatar 410 NEO cabinet (8 OHM). I mostly play in a hardcore band with a similar bass tone to Bryan Kienlen's (Bouncing Souls) tone in Anchors Away... but I on...

I contacted them and they don't do much custom aside from color. That's better than nothing, but I'm really looking for something more substantial.

I'm on a search for a custom rackmount case. I recently bought an Avatar 410 cabinet and will be ordering a matching 212 soon. The rackmount case I'm rolling with now is more than useable, but I would love to find someone that would make something to match the rest of the rig. Any...

FINALLY!

I had my cabinet shipped to my parents' house because I live in a crappy neighborhood... they got it last week and I haven't been able to make the 2 hour drive to pick up it up yet. I'm going crazy! I'll be picking it up either Friday or Saturday... can't wait!

Just ordered it this morning! B410 NEO 8 OHMs Blonde Tolex Wheat Grill Black Piping I'll post pics when it arrives!

I've been lurking on this site for years, but I figured I'd finally post something. My present rig is an Ampeg SVT-4 through an Ampeg 610... I love my svt4, but the 610 has annoyed me for quite a bit due to size, but it served its purpose and I had other priorities financially. Well... one...
