    Can vibration when lugging tube amps damage the tubes?

    Basically the question in the title. I have an Ampeg SVT3 PRO with a PF115HE cab with the stock casters. I usually put the head on top of the cab and push it around when moving it or put both things in one of those convertible "hand trucks". I want to know if anyone has experienced any damage to...

    Poll: you gettin' a Venture head, cab or stack?

    So, any of you thinking of getting some of the new Venture gear. Me personally, I think I'd probably get just ahead as a replacement for my PF350 but stick to the PF115HE cab, because of import costs hehehe

    Any experience with rechargeable batteries?

    Does anyone have any experience using rechargeable 9v batteries with pedals or single or dual battery onboard preamps for active basses? if so, did they last enought or needed to be recharged quite frequently? I don't have any issue with recharging prior to every gig, but if I'll have a battery...

    What are the current "modern" features of basses (2022)?

    I feel the bass market is getting quite diverse since some people are going for tradicional or vintage sounding models like fenders or ricks, but I'm looking different features from other brands/players and that makes me think that what was "modern" the last decade might not be considered that...

    Have you ever tried/bought something just because of the artist(s) that use it?

    I'm assuming that is ther reason why companies have artist roster, to promote their products, but how many people actually end up buying stuff just because of the artist signature?

    What exactly is "tube warmth"?

    This must have been asked before, but I couldn't find any specific threads. I was checking some videos comparing class D and tube amps. And even the reviewers said that tube amps gave some type of "warmth" to the sound. I know what the word means, but I have trouble putting in context of sound...

    Is it harder to develop/improve technique at 40

    I'm not there yet, but kinda getting close. But has anyone had experience or know the intricacies of trying to develop or impprove stuff like speed or agility if you feel you are not quite great at it? Like athletes, they can't be as fast or agile beyond some age (for some is 30, for others 35...

    DI Hum or DI hiss from balanced out

    Hi, I have recently acquired an SVT3-PRO, have only used it a couple of times. I tried connecting to the DI balanced out and it was "hissing" so we pulled the ground lift switch but the technician said it didn't improve, so we went with a DI. My question is, if there's any way to get the preamp...

    What would Elon do if he bought your preferred instrument/amp company

    In my case, I think he would buy Fender, drop Squire and MIM instruments and focus on custom shop models.

    SVT3 PRO w PF115HE cab

    Hi, I have been searching in the forum but I couldn't find this exact combination. Currently I own a PF350 with 115HE cab. I would like to get an SVT and I found a SVT3PRO, I believe it is the "display" unit from the store so no box or manual and obviously with a discount. The other option i a...

    Using active passive switch as boost for solos

    Is someone around here (or has someone tried) using the active passive switch on their bass as some kind of booster instead of using a pedal? I have an American Deluxe Jazz that has the switch but I have found out that whe engaging the switch, and using the input pad in my ampeg PF350, hardly...

    Tonal versatility through different basses OR different amps?

    For those of us who work with several different genres, do you prefer to expand your tone arsenal through having different basses (P, Js, active, passives, etc.) or through having more than one amp? (like having an ampeg, and also a hartke or swr)?

    Pf350 with PF115HE + SVT210AV

    I know some people have compared this two cabinets but maybe someone has tried mixing both to get the full 350 from the head. I have a PF350 with 115HE cab and have seen an svt210av for sale near me. Been thinking about getting the extra cab for ocassions where I need a bit more power. It could...

    Adding cabinet to pf350 for full power

    Hi, I'm in a bit of a doubt. I have a PF350 with 115HE cab. Thinking of getting a new cabinet to get the full 350 watts when I'm on larger stages (not so common but a possibility). Would it be good or ok to get a cab from a different series? like the svt 210? or should I get another portaflex...
