    Guitar players corner!

    I’ll say playing some power chords through the DCX Bass set to overdrive and then into my Ampeg 1x15 sounds huge. But I am going to get Yamaha’s desktop guitar amp. Having a bunch of guitar amp/effect settings in the small package is probably going to be a better fit.

    Guitar players corner!

    I expect you'll have trouble hearing anything above roughly the 15th fret on the high strings through a bass amp, but it should hold you over while you look for a guitar amp. I also expect learning guitar will enhance your bass playing. Every instrument I pick up expands how my brain interacts...

    Guitar players corner!

    I decided to buy a guitar for the silly reason that I have free access to a comprehensive beginner guitar program. I figure I should take advantage. I'm not looking to become anything good on guitar, but I think it would be beneficial to learn a bit. I went with the Indonesian version of...

    Amp Guts Photos - Official Thread - Lets see those pics

    My newest purchase Ampeg Venture V7. I have to admit that I have never been big Ampeg fan but I really like the sound of this one. The layout is what you would expect from modern small form factor class D heads everything crammed in a pretty tight. But it looks clean overall and Appears to be...

    BEGINNER BASSIST

    I’d love to hear what you come up with. And don’t get too self conscious about gear. Geddy himself has used almost every big brand you can think of over his career and he always had a signature touch that everyone would listen and know who’s playing. He has had ampeg, Laney, Sunn, Yamaha, Trace...

    Looking for a small multi-use amp that will work for bass

    If memory serves me, I think it's a story of the lead engineer no longer being involved, and then things went downhill. These days I see brands that used to be exceptional innovators back in the 60's and early 70's on TV commercials, selling junk under that label after the brand name was bought...

    Looking for a small multi-use amp that will work for bass

    When I was upgrading from passive to powered PA monitors, I checked out the JBL's. They were pricey and no where near the value of the similar Mackie versions at a third less. Sad to see such a highly regarded brand drop in quality, at least Ampeg ended up with Yamaha, and Vox with Korg who...

    Thunderbird Club

    In the reviews I read the SGT seems to be an improvement on the SCR, which many liked. No doubt a Yamaha influence and a benefit for Ampeg overall. I expect good things from Ampeg with Yamaha in charge. They seem to do all things very well. Seems more pedals are moving away from batteries...

    Has anyone ever tested the Nordstrand Big Singles with Alnico V vs Alnico III?

    If you liked the feel of Hi Beams, you could go for the more mellow Sunbeams

    Has anyone ever tested the Nordstrand Big Singles with Alnico V vs Alnico III?

    Hello and thank you all for the advice. The very first I did when I got this bass a year ago was swap the strings to DR Hi Beams, and then the very second thing I did was swap off of DR Hi Beams 😂. I love DR Hi Beams, but in this application, it was a bit too much. I'm currently on NYXL's...

    SVTII-Pro Modern Equivalent: HSVT-CL? Other brand?

    There very well may be parts that are no longer available. Could relate to obsolete semi-conductors or possibly controls such as the EQ sliders. It's also possible all parts are available, but Ampeg no longer stocks certain items required by the 2-Pro. Any out of production amp can fall...

    SVTII-Pro Modern Equivalent: HSVT-CL? Other brand?

    They were discontinued when Yamaha took over Ampeg. Could find newer than early SLM era for sure, but you won’t find “new” models unless they’re older floor stock.

    the jhs bit crusher came today, still waiting on the ampeg amp handle applied to be Yamaha USA's product photographer after work, unfortunately I don't know anybody in their Calabasas office who could put in a good word guess i never thought about it, but Mani from the Stone Roses used a Mesa...

    Alright. Not sure if I want to do this but here we are. I'll have to do some research on the serial number but I picked this up in a local trade deal a couple of years ago while waiting for the right SVT to pop up. Once I got this, I never looked at another Ampeg. This thing is minty. And a...

    P pickups for very very classic P tone

    btw, for everyone insisting that "Ampeg" and/or "tubes" is a mandatory part of the sonic recipe: The absolute best Old Skool thumpy iconic P Bass tone I have ever gotten in person was played through a Yamaha B50-115 solid-state combo amp. ...it was however a genuine 1964 Fender Precision Bass...

    Have you ever tallied how many basses you have owned over the years?

    A few years ago--actually after reading this post in 2023--I sat down and wrote up a list of all the basses I had owned (up to that time). I've since kept that list up. I've been playing bass since I was 14, and I'm about to turn 64--so this is 50 years of basses. I look back on it with fond...

    How does a preamp affect a bass's tone?

    A lot of these subjective words are really tricky to pin down. I'll try my best to summarize my understanding of them, but that might be different than what other people think. hi-fi/clear/modern/detailed: full frequency range, no roll-off on high or low end. These terms all sort of refer to...

    People with multiple versions of the same bass—why?

    Why not? Sorry. I am bit incensed by this sort of question . People like what they like, and it's not really explainable in a way that will truly make your understand. Either you get it, or you don't. I will offer this: IME most basses tend to exhibit a unique personality. Back in the...

    Ampeg PF-500 head and PF-115HE for a gig?

    O.P., Since your limited to what's available to you just before your house gig, I'd suggest your making due with the PF500 and 115HE cabinet for this one job.....but take that 50 watt practice amp as a backup, atleast that'll get you through the job. The PF500's were very problem prone, (I...

    Ampeg RB210 reliability?

    I would get the Ampeg RB210 if you are looking to save weight. It's a nice all in one package and probably the best combo I've ever owned and I've owned many nice combos (Yamaha RB112, Fender Rumble 60, 100c, 500c, Hartke KB15, Bugera BXD15A, Trace Elliot Elf 1x10, Markbass CMD151p combo...

    20 Years of Talkbass

    I joined June 6th of 2006. Gas was about $2.50 to $3 a gallon. I had just quit college after running out of money. The country was teetering on whispers of a pending recession. I had been playing semi professionally for a few years with a couple bands but was the stereotypical struggling...

    Expensive Bass and Cheap rig or Mid Level Bass and Higher End Rig? Which way to go?

    If this wasn't a Spector bass.... the logical thing to do for any bassist... beginner, intermediate or advanced... is buy the best high-end amp you can afford (Mesa Boogie, Aguilar, Fender, Ampeg, etc) and get an affordable ($250-$600 range) Indonesian-made bass like a Squire, Ibanez, Yamaha...

    Feedback-input on new rig: DG e500

    My main gigging rig used to be a Yamaha PB-1/Crown xls1500/Ampeg 810, that rig basically stays at the practice space these days. Current gigging rig is a Puma 900/custom 212 3-way (Bill Fitz designed Omni TallBoy) great rig but still a little cumbersome to move sometimes. I am now building a...

    Ampeg SVT-6 Pro - new in a shop?

    Hi everyone, I have owned 3 Ampeg SVT 6 Pros's, the first was a USA made (pre-Loud) version, which I sold then regretted and secondly purchased a Korean Made version which lasted one rhsl! I had that repaired and sold soon afterwards I loved the sound of the 6 pro and stumbled across another...

    New Ampeg Venture Series

    Ya know, I have read this whole thread and while there are certainly some people sharing their direct impressions of the cabs, I find so much of this thread consists of talking around and speculating about the Venture product line, especially the whole wattage matching issue (overblown) and the...

    Genzler Kinetix vs ampeg venture

    I hear you there - aside from my old GK 700rbii that I keep around, the only other brands I let in for heads are Mesa and Genzler. 800D and MG800. IMO they are at the top of the amplifier echelon. I don’t necessarily buy into the class D vs everything else war, but I can say that they understand...

    Lightweight passive monitor wedge

    I do the same with my Ampeg BA110 and it works fine but I eventually will want something more low profile. In my area, many people are getting rid of their Yamaha floor monitors, this could become my favorite option for spare change.

    What do you play your modelers through at home?

    ha! me too! I'm running an Anagram into a Scarlett 18i20 => Beyer DT 770 Pro's for a lot of things. I also run the Anagram into a Mesa Walkabout (set about as flat as that amp gets) => Berg NV 212t for some stuff. I need to try the Anagram into the FX return of the Mesa just to check that out. I...

    Double Bass Anyone only ever play EUB?

    The Yamaha silent bass is pretty good. If I am not able to have a DB like work or housing situation changes then sure, I'll get the Yamaha There's something about the sound radiating from the body of the instrument. Something about this resonant chamber. Also really hard to duplicate that...

    Sadowsky or Fender

    Much of your post is on target; but, you have also missed the value of this thread to a significant extent. Musical performance, as you know, requires concentration. So, playing an instrument which promotes concentration on the playing is preferred. Who want to perform with a distracting...

    Sadowsky or Fender

    Warning - unpopular opinion incoming….. My brother leads a local church band and I sub for the bassist occasionally. The production level is good, the room is well-treated acoustically and the sound crew helpful. Almost all modern Christian music calls for a low-B string and I can choose from a...

    Ampeg RB-115

    140 watts to internal speaker, likely the ampeg is louder than the Hartke because the box is larger, speaker cab is likely the factor. I did swap my 15" for an eminence CA154 which put the full 200 watts internal but the volume difference was minimal ( +- 3db) and the tone wasn't as warm so I...

    What Bass Was The Biggest Disappointment For You?

    I have few disappointed experiences. Might make some ppl mad lol but hey it's my experience tho. Original Elrick. I think it was 5 string single cut bass. Soundwise it's just not that good imo. Yamaha BB series. That lower horn really dug my lap so badly. Its sound was extremely good though. It...
