    Best lightweight Ampeg amp with power

    Opinions? Something powerful enough to run a couple of 410's.

    Need replacement pickguard for Steve Harris signature bass (with rose wine orig. pickguard)

    Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? My rose wine finally cracked, and I'm thinking of getting a mirrored one. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thinking of changing my setup

    Currently use an Orange stack (2 SP410's with the TB1000 head) but have always been partial to GB. I play hard rock and am thinking of getting the Uber 1288T combined with the Uber 115. Any thoughts or input is appreciated.

    Thinking of changing my setup

    Currently use an Orange setup, but I've always liked the GB Uber series. Thinking of getting a Uber 1288 cab and eventually pair with the Uber 115. I have the GBE1200 and I know it's more than enough power so would have to be careful with it. I play hard rock (i.e Iron Maiden) and was wondering...

    Warm Up Rituals

    Before a gig, what do you use to warm up aside from scales and stretching? Maybe even a shot of whiskey?

    Quick Q on daisy chaining two 8 ohm cabs

    Amp > 8 ohm cab > 2nd 8 ohm cab = brings down impedance to 4 ohms? Amp is a GBE1200. This of course is out of a single channel if I choose. The GBE has dual channels, so if I hook up a cab to each one, impedance doesn't change. Just wanted to know if I use just one channel and daisy chain the...

    Ric O Sound stereo option on 4003

    Just wondering, how do you fully utilize this feature? Do you need to have two amps and/or cabs to get the full effect?

    Has anyone ordered or purchased anything from them? Website is davesguitar.com. They have some nice basses.

    Lots of pedals = lots of cables! Check them!

    I know that many of you use multiple effects/pedals. With all of the cables that you use, is there a good cable tester that's reliable or preferred over another? I think this would be good to have in my supply bag. Recommendations anyone? Thanks in advance.

    Mic cabs

    How many of you mic your cabs instead of a direct out? How does it work for you?

    Set list with standard and half-step down tuning

    Not sure if this is in the right forum, but here's my question: How do you deal with a set list for a performance that has both standard and half-step down tuning? Do you bring two basses or just tune up/down after a specific song? Do you just have a set portion of songs all with the same...

    Pulled another trigger

    Sometime next week, I should be getting my hands on a G&L Tribute L2000 Blueburst 4-stringer, maple neck. My first active bass. Free shipping from Amazon to Hawaii. Can't go wrong with that. Ebay sellers ask for at least $150 shipping for the same bass. That Blueburst is the most sexiest...

    Stacking cabs end-to-end

    Talking about two SP410's here. Aside from the obvious possibility of them toppling over, anyone see any issue with stacking these like an "l"?

    DBX__ - what does it really do for you?

    For those of us who do not have an opportunity to sample one these, what does the dbx compressor (whichever model) do for your sound/tone? Secondly, how would you incorporate this into a set up with a passive bass, VT Bass, and 4 PRO? I see a lot of discussion about "line level" and using the...

    Orange Dual Cab rig (the SMALL one)

    Wow, I finally got to try the SP410 + SP212 rig last night. Unbelievable sound and tone. Stacking not an issue (just put the "cube" on the 410) and placed the amp off to the side. I was using my P Bass with flats and I didn't need to turn the thing up past noon. With two hard rock guitarists...

    Please pardon this nutbag of a question..

    ..but again I'm new to all this effect stuff. What is the main difference between the VT Bass pedal (not the deluxe model) and the Sadowsky Outboard Preamp? What the heck is an Outboard Preamp anyway, a separate device to boost signals? Pros and cons? I like my VT, however I wonder what...

    For you finger pickers...

    Do you normally use two or three fingers? In my earlier days, I used three fingers but noticed I was unable to keep any sort of consistent temp, even with the use of a metronome. I changed to two fingers and have seen a HUGE improvement. A good practice song for me is Run to the Hills (Iron...

    Phasing issue using OBC410 + SP410?

    Anyone use this combo?

    Did I just screw myself up?

    Head unit is the 4 PRO, and its specs are as follows: OUTPUT POWER RATING 1600 Watts Mono-Bridged @ 4 Ohms (1200 Watts Continuous) 1200 Watts Mono-Bridged @ 8 Ohms (900 Watts Continuous) 2 x 900 Watts @ 2 Ohms (600 Watts Continuous) 2 x 625 Watts @ 4 Ohms (490 Watts Continuous) 2 x 350...

    That's it, I'm going for it.

    Just a pinch away from getting an OBC410 + SP212 to pair with my SVT 4 PRO. I got the amp head brand new at a major discount, so I couldn't pass that up. The bonus is that now that they're both 8 ohm cabs, it opens up a lot more possibilities if I need it. Bye bye, Epi and GB.

    8 ohm v 4 ohm

    If you have two 4x10 4 ohm cabs and replace them with two 4x10 8 ohms, how much of a difference in volume would be the result? Barely noticeable?

    Not sure if this is in the correct forum...

    ..but feel free to move if necessary, mods. Looking for a specific model rack case for an SVT 4 PRO that allows for adequate ventilation (it has slots on the sides of the amp). Would like to get a case that would allow me to add on a rack compressor if choose to do so down the road. Any...

    Digital recorders

    Looking for a recorder that can play back music at a slower pace with a loop feature. Something that I can download my music from my iTunes and also bring to live performances. Anyone recommendations?

    Boost pedal in relation to amp output

    If a boost pedal is used (i.e. Creation Audio Labs), does turning up the boost/volume pedal knob in any way put additional strain on your amp? I've heard good things about the CAL.

    Thinking of changing pickups on GL Fender

    It's a passive bass but thinking of going active for a bigger sound. I play in a hard rock band that does a lot of 80's stuff. What are your experiences for those that made this switch? I was checking out some Bartolini products as well.

    Tech 21 vt v2 pedal

    New to this, so please pardon. Did extensive research. Am I able to hook up this pedal to the fx loop send/return outputs on the back of my svt 4 pro? Not sure how to utilize that function even after reading the manual. If not, do I basically connect the input cord to the pedal and from the...

    Bass Compressor for that "tight" sound

    What do you use for the genre of music you play for a tight sounding harmony from your cabs?

    Optimum connection for these two 410's?

    Ok, coming down to the nitty gritty... SVT 4 PRO head and using Epi PS410 (4 ohm) and test driving an Ampeg 410HLF 8 ohm. Knowing that the Ampeg would sound a little softer due to the difference in impedance, what would be the ideal connections to the head to utilize its power and get the...

    Confused on xtended cab - looking for suggestions

    I'm waiting for my svt 4 pro to arrive any day now, and I want to pick up a 210 cab to pair with my 4 ohm ps410. I don't need another 410. Any suggestions? 4 or 8 ohms? My understanding is the 4 pro can handle 2 ohm loads but I'm not tech savvy whatsoever.

    Wow, 2nd thread - Extended cab suggestions

    I'm getting the hang of this finally. Head: SVT 4 PRO Cab: Epi PS410 (4 ohm) Music type: Rock. The hard stuff (i.e. 80's) Any suggestions for an extended cab? Can't really bust this thing out at home with the kids, but for gigs and practice I like to turn up the damn volume. I would...

    Newbie to the forum - cabinet question

    Greetings all, New to the forum. Looking for some advice. Will soon get a SVT 4 PRO (in a few days/on order already) for my 4 ohm Epifani PS 410 and looking to add on another cab. Looking at the Orange OBC410 which I know is 8 ohms. Would the combo put unnecessary strain on the head due to...
