Well, I just added another Stingray to my arsenal... 2012 Ernie Ball Music Man Classic Stingray 4 (Butter Cream) * Flamed Maple Neck, Rosewood fretboard Man this thing is sweet! I can't put it down...it plays like a dream. It is amazing to me how different Stingray models can be. I used to...

Well, I traded in my latest Ampeg rig (SVT7PRO/SVT410HE x 2). I got it only about a year ago after trading in the vintage 1969 SVT810/SVT-CL rig I restored a couple of years ago...see my posts in this forum detailing that project. Anyway...I always thought I wanted a big heavy Ampeg rig to get...

Hi Guy's, I just picked up a new MarkBass rig: Little Mark III Head (2) Traveler 151P's I already had a MarkBass Traveler 210P so I was thinking that I would stack all (3) cab's to get the stack high enough so I can hear it easily while I stand in front of it on stage. At first I was just...

I'm 56 years old now...I've been playing bass since I was a kid. I've had just about every type of bass rig out there. I used to think that having a giant powerful rig would make me a better bass player...we all know that this is just not true. So I got rid of my SVT810/SVTCL and decided to go...

I've heard good things about the Ampeg PR-410HLF. Most say it sounds great but really heavy. I know that it's no longer available new but see them on Craigslist and ebay. Anyone have experience with this cab? I'd be using it with a SVT7PRO

Guys, I just got my new SVT7Pro and used it for the first time gigging last night. It sounds great with my Stingray And (2) SVT410HE's. I've not had an amp with a compression adjustment before and fooled around with it last night. Not sure what I'm adjusting...I hear some minimal changes in the...

Hi, I like that old school thick fat Motown warm tone. I thought when it's time to change my strings I would try a set of flat wound strings. I heard that flat wounds would help get me the tone I'm looking for. I always have the guitar tech at the Guitar Center change the strings when I have my...

Guys, I love my SVT7Pro/SVT410HLF Rig but I want to add a second cabinet. I have a SVT210 that I could use but that will lower the total ohm load to 2.7 ohms. The SVT7Pro says it only is good down to 4ohms. I already tried it and it sounded great! What will happen if I use it long term? I like...

Okay, I have a passive J-Bass and just got a MarkBass Little Mark II amp. Would it be better to use an outboard preamp like a MarkBass S1 or similar "Pedal Style" outboard preamp for my passive bass? The descreption for the MarkBass S1 outboard pre-amp says that it emulates the LittleMark...

I was an Ampeg fan through and through until my last summertime outdoor gig. It was HOT and the Ampeg gear (SVT-CL/SVT-810) was HEAVY! Some friends have been raving about the Markbass gear...how good it sounds and how light it is. So I went out and got a Markbass "Little Mark II" amp, 102p and...

Okay, I have (2) separate bass rigs: Rig #1 SVT-CL/SVT-810 Rig #2 B2RE/SVT-410HE plus SVT-1510HE I want to play through both rigs at the same time...setting up Rig#1 for lower end and Rig#2 for mid/higher end giving me a good well rounded tone over the entire bass range. I have a Line6...

I saw an Ampeg cabinet for sale recently that looked very interesting. I have never seen it before and I had thought that I had seen EVERYTHING Ampeg: Isovent 2 x 10's and 2 x 15's [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Does anyone have experience with this cabinet?

So I'm starting my next restoration project...this time it is a old B-15S Portaflex. They were made between 1968 and 1977. This one is missing the amp and has a EV replacement 15" speaker. Its in rough shape but not for long. I'll be doing some shoping on-line for a vintage correct amp and at...

Where is the best place to stand to dial in your rig when gigging or practicing...what I mean is when standing right in front of my rig I set it up to sound the way I like it in that spot. If I move a few feet in any direction it sounds DRAMATICALLY different. When I set it up (volume & Tone)...

So I just finished the ground up restoration of my 1969 Ampeg SVT-810. (See the attached before and after pics) Thanks to everyone who offered me advice here on talkbass as I went through the project. It really helped me out! Anyway I think it came out GREAT! I would post more pics but as...

Here are the dimensions of my 1969 Ampeg SVT-810 baffle board (See PDF)

I've been using some basic Ampeg gear for a while now: * B2RE * SVT-410HE * SVT-1510HE This stuff sounds good and I was happy but always wanted an SVT-810. So I looked on Craigs List until I found an old school SVT-810 the guy was asking $100 for. It was totally beat up so I offered him...

Okay, I have an Ampeg B2RE, SVT-1510, SVT-410HE and a SVT-210HE. I'd like to use all three cabinets but ampeg recommends not connecting more than two 8 ohm cabinets because they don't want you going lower than 4 ohms. What would be the best (2) cab combo...the 1510 with the 410? The 410 with the...

So, I've been using my 1981 Fender Bassman 135 tube amp and matching Bassman 2x15 cab and loving it. Man I couldn't wait till I finally was able to obtain both pieces...it took for ever searching Craigslist, ebay and pawn shops but I finally got it done. After a while I felt that my tone was all...
