hey everybody. ive fallen on hard financial times, had to quit my weekend job so i dont have nearly as much income right now and i need to pay rent so im reluctantly selling some heads that have lived in my studio space since i bought them to play around with. The ampeg is an 88 or 89, good...

Hey everybody. Im starting a new band with some friends and the guitarist tunes to drop A. What setup changes do i need to make to my bass to tune down that low?

Has anybody ever used a splitter box to run their signal into both the normal and bright channels on an svt II? Is it bad for the amp? Does it improve the tone at all?

My roommate and i both have ampeg svt II's and we just retubed his last night so he would have it up and running for his show tonight. He took mine with him as a backup, and set it next to his cab while he ran his. But he had mine turned on in standby the entire set, and he didnt plug it into a...

hey everybody. im gonna go look at a powerhouse 4x12 today and was wondering if anybody has has any experience with running an svt through one, and also if anybody has had the chance to a/b an ampeg 810 with a mesa 4x12. i read the reviews on here and read through a bunch of threads and it...

Bought it used at guitar center earlier this spring. Works/sounds great, like it should. I got it to use as a practice amp and has never left our practice space. Some light scrape marks from being put in and out of racks but nothing deep enough to scratch the paint/metal. Just need money for...

So i got an svt II non pro yesterday. Gonna clean out the inputs/outputs with deoxit, and spray a little on the tube pins before i put emm back in. There is a healthy layer of dust on the inside of the amp, and i wanna clean it out properly but dont know what i should use to clean it. What would...

So i picked up a '04 american p bass on monday from a local store on monday and i loved just about everything about the thing, but i HATED the way the pickups sounded. Went back to the store today and traded it for a blacktop jazz and wow i love this thing. Fit and finish is great, set up was...

So one of my head, an ampeg svt 2 pro, has had a lot of power tube problems over the two years ive owned it. Over a year and a half, five power tubes have failed. They've always been on the right half of the power section (looking in from the rear). I know i set my rig up properly interms of...

I bought a used fender p bass today. MIA, came with the S1 switching system, string through, for 500. Its in near new condition, save for a few tiny cosmetic dings. My main bass is an 1976 ibanez p bass. I LOVE this bass, but the neck is a little chuncky and the action is a little slow. Got the...

I really like the tone of the new blacktop jazz bass with the two p pickups. If i replaced the jazz pup in my 90's p bass plus with another lace sensor p pup, would i get a similar tone?

Is there any way to run an eq pedal into a cl so that it works like the eq on a 2 pro? I have a 2 pro and have the opportunity to get a cl, but the only thing stopping me is that it doesnt have a graphic eq.

So Last week i was online looking for used mesa 810 cabs and came across one for sale at the Warwick, RI Guitar Center. It was an old Road Ready 810. Looked to be in decent condition. It was priced at around $750, so i got really excited. Called the store the next day and asked someone about it...

hey everybody. i have a 1976 ibanez "lawsuit" p bass. broke my e string again the other day (dont play so hard, i know, i know) and went to change the strings and had some trouble witht he tuning machine for the e string. it worked fine for the first couple turns, then all the sudden it would...

Hey everybody. picked up a 400+ at a local music go round a few weeks ago. sounds amazing! i was thinking about retubing it and keeping the tubes that came in it for back up since they still have some life in em. I opened her up and the power section is filled with JJ 6L6's. the preamp section...

Just picked up an old madison 810 off craigslist for $200. I saw it and decided it'd be a good place to start trying my hand at cab restoration/building. I have barely any knowledge about wiring speakers, but i can tell there's a lot wrong inside the cab. one of the tweeters is disconnected from...

So i picked up a Mesa SUS-4 6 space rack to put my 400+ in, and im not sure if ill need the extra two spaces. Just trying to see if anybody would want to trade me their Mesa SUS-4 4 space rack for my 6 space. I may also be interested in foam shock racks (4,5, or 6 spaces) depending on the...

Picked this beast up at a local shop a few days ago in a fit of GAS after selling some other gear (never go look at amps with $700 cash in your pocket ;)). Its one of the earlier 400+'s with 6 eq sliders and a fixed power cord. Dont know much about the service history (the guys at the shop...

Got this cab a little while ago from a shop outside of town. Sounds great, but i like my nv610s a little more, so i figured i should find this thing a good home with someone who will put her to good use. there are three small tears in the tolex on the back of the cab. other than that, everything...

SOLD FOR $800+SHIPPINGSo i am the proud owner of two Bergantino NV610s. Sold my ampeg 810 to purchase these. Love the way they sound together, but im starting to miss my 810. Just want to see if anyone is down to trade their 810 for my 610. they are both about two months old, purchased brand new...

The mere thought of selling my rig pains me, but its time for a change, so here it goes. The SVT 2 Pro was retubed earlier this month with 6 Tung Sol 6550s and a few new preamp tubes. Bought it from its original owner about a year and a half ago. It appears to have been dropped during shipping...

will a small hole drilled into the side of a sealed speaker cab cause any problems? and if it will, can i just put a screw in it to seal it? there are two small holes drilled in the side of a speaker cab i have that used to hold rubber feet which are no longer on the cab. just wondering if this...

At practice tonight, i turned the amp on, left it on standby for about 10 minutes, took it off standby, checked the bias lights as i always do and everything was fine. after about an hour of playing, i heard a very faint clicking/scraping sound coming from the speakers. i checked to make sure...

there is a 215e (older one from the 70's, usual worn condition) for sale in my area and the owner says he has replaced the original speakers with eminence kilomax 15s. arent these pa speakers? i recently bout a head from the guy and played through the cab and it sounded good, but im worried...

So ill start off by saying that i love the tone of the mti svt. when i played through it before i bought it, it was hooked up to the seller's ampeg 215 with kilomax speakers in it and it sounded heavenly. got it back to the space, had some technical difficulties (which are now sorted out) and i...

So i just had my MTI era svt cleaned and given a clean bill of health by a "tech" who was recommended to me by a friend. He works out of a record store basement and im not sure how experienced he is, but the thing looks really clean and all the pots sound a lot cleaner. Before i brought it in...

just picked up an mti era svt. sounded amazing when i was playing through it at the guy's house before i took it home. got to the practice space, plugged in, let her warm up on standby for a bit, then my jaw dropped as i played a couple notes. it sounded like a crappy fuzz box. it also sounded...

How would a vintage ampeg svt head handle a heavily overdriven signal as opposed to a newer ampeg head (such as the svt 2 pro)? or would there be much of a difference at all? ive heard of certain amps not sounding as good/handling lots of effects as other amps do. or is this just another case of...

has anybody ever tried running a sunn concert lead through an svt 2 pro? or run any sunn head with an ampeg head? i really like the distortion from old sunn amps, and was just wondering what it would sound like to run one with my 2 pro.

ive already read through a bunch of threads, and seen lots of different cab configurations, but havent seen anybody who ran a bassman 1200 pro at 4 ohms through an 810e. will the 810 be able to take it? or would it be a good idea to get another cab? there is an ampeg 215 for sale near me with...

:eek:so after practice yesterday i forgot to turn my amp off, and it was on standby for about 18 or 19 hours until my roommate got to the practice space and noticed it was on. he turned it off and tried turning it on and playing through it before he left and said it sounded fine. did i just make...

So, i love my current rig (SVT 2 Pro, 810E) but I recently made the mistake of trying this 1970's SVT that's been for sale in a local shop for a couple months. The SVT sounds amazing! Ive only had my 2 Pro for about a year and its already been in the shop twice, which is the main reason I'm...

my band has tuned down to dgcf and the DR HiBeams im using dont quite sound right. Are DR DDT's the way to go? if so what gauge? any other suggestions? i should also probably mention that i play a 1976 ibanez "lawsuit" p bass through a boss ODB3 and a sansamp bassdriver. pretty dirty and distorted.

Anybody know anything about the specs on sonic 810 cabs? or had any experience with them? someone in my area is selling one and he doesnt seem to know much about it at all.

So after taking my 2 pro into the tech and having the tubes replaced and some circuitry fixed, everything was working fine for about a week. Apparently the problem was that a bad tube or two had damaged something else inside the amp. now, after only a week of having it back, the right bias light...

Hey guys. so ive been searching for the perfect metal/punk bass tone and just picked up a sansamp bass driver after seeing a couple bands using them along with other distortion/overdrive pedals. when i got home i was comparing the sansamp and the odb-3 im currently using, and then tried them...

Hey everybody. Im currently playing an Ampeg SVT 2 Pro through an Ampeg 610 HLF cab and have been thinking about getting another 215 cabinet to put next to it. Any suggestions on a good match? There's an older peavey on craigslist right now for a pretty reasonable price....
