Hey all! As the title suggests I am looking for a "smaller" rig to gig with when I don't want to bring my Ampeg V4B Reissue and cab. So far looking pretty enticing are the Fender Rumble 800, The GK Legacy 212, or Ampeg RB-210. We play covers with a punk rock/Power-pop twist. The basses consist...

Hey all!! As the title suggests I'm looking to upgrade from my 2012 MacBook Pro that is dying to a Mac Mini M4 for recording, mixing, etc. Not super heavy plugin use, a few here and there and say 30 tracks. Never hit that many, but I'd rather overshoot than understood. Wondering if 16gb RAM in a...

Hey all! Currently running an Ampeg V4B Reissue into a 212av, and damn...it's killer. Best recorded bass tone i have ever achieved l, hands down and love it live. However, I was wondering if anyone has real world experience with an Orange 4-Stroke. Curious about what as an alternative/backup. I...

Hey all! Looking at a secondary head to backup/be an alternate to my Ampeg V4B Reissue. Looking at 500w Solid State heads and wondering if that's safe to run into my 600w Ampeg 2x12av. Thanks!

Ok, looking to my GK fans out here. My main amp is an Ampeg V4B Reissue. Great for small gigs etc. My dilemma, the cost and potential scarcity of tubes in the not too distant future. That said, I'm looking for a change of pace and KNOW that the two mentioned GK Heads get (rightfully) a TON of...

Hey fellow low-enders! Looking to pick up either one, a CL or VR and wondering what your collective experiences are with them. For a bit of knowledge to give you guys and idea I am currently running a V4B Reissue through a 212av. I play exclusively P basses (one is a PJ but I solo the P 90% of...

I know the weight difference, so thats a non-factor here. Wondering if anyone has experience with both/either. Current amp is a V4B Reissue and looking to pick up a backup/alternate amp as well over time for instances where I wanna do something a little different or amp goes in for routine care...

Hapoy weekend everyone. Curious what your experiences are playing live. I play through an ampeg V4B Reissue and 212av and LOVE that tone. Wondering if the DI out to foh is a better route, OR grab something like a Neve DI and run it between my amp and speakers to get that power tube sound in...

What's up all?! I'm looking for some input here on a head to pair with my Ampeg 212av, which is a KILLER cab. Currently I'm using a V4B Reissue but at times finding myself wanting a little more thump. Not NECESSARILY volume but thump. I'm a committed ampeg lover and play a P or PJ in punk...

Hey all! I currently running the mentioned v4B reissue through an Ampeg 212av. Using it for power-pop isnpired punk rock. It sounds amazing, and I should have ditched my 610hlf a LOOOONG time ago for the 212av. That said, I have a chance to buy an SVT-CL from a studio that has produced some of...

Hey all! Know that the two are pretty similar, but the Pro-2 having a graphic EQ. Any things I should know of between one or the other? There's a used Pro-2 near me in great condition for $800. I love my V4B Reissue through my 212av but wondering if sometimes a bit more gut punch wouldn't be...

Hey all! Looking for a "backup/alternate" to my Custom PJ (which I predominantly play on just my P pup) and wondering what real world experience y'all have between the two? Play power-pop infused Punk Rock so a Precision is ALWAYS appropriate, nay, perfect. 🤣 Amp wise: Ampeg V4B Reissue and...

First band rehearsal with my new Ampeg 212av. This cab is absolutely killer, and a HUGE improvement over the 610hlf paired with my V4B Reissue. Should have pulled the trigger a LOOOOONG time ago, it's louder amd punchier than I would have expected for 2 12s vs the 6 10s. Love it...

Hey all! Wondering if anyone knows anything about these cabs. It's an ampeg 410-Pro, sealed cab, looks just like the 410he. Not much info around on them but one has surfaced near me. I'm looking to replace my 610hlf with something a little less exaggerated in the lows to pair with my v4b...

Hey TB'ers! So, as the title implies I am looking to add another bass to my stable. My current #1 is a custom PJ with Lindy Fralin P and 5% overwound J. Cops a GREAT P tone when J pup is rolled all the way out and the J adds a bit more snarl when in. It's the bass in my Pic and it's KILLER...

So...after a year or so and several gigs it's time to move away from my 610hlf with my V4B Reissue. I have found repeatedly that in a live situation for stage volume my lows turn into an undefined mess. No punch. The mids and highs still cut through fine and the preamp DI sounds great through...

Hey all, wondering which would you recommend for a power-pop/punk band doing mainly bars, some slightly bigger venues. Wondering if the SVT-CL is overkill at that point and the V4B Reissue would serve just as well. Two guitarists both using Orange 100w heads and 212 Cabs. Could also use the...

Hey all! As stated looking for a backup to my Ampeg V4B Reissue. Have a newer 610hlf and the combination is just killer. Playing power-pop/punk rock covers of well known tunes. Between an ampeg SVT7-Pro and SVT3-Pro which way would you guys lean...I play P-bassses/Custom PJ exclusively, just my...

Hey all! My main amp is an ampeg V4B Reissue that I play through an ampeg 610hlf. I'm looking to add a smaller cab for smaller gigs and wondering what thoughts are between these two. I'll probably add another head (eyeing an Orange 4-Stroke or OB1-500) because...I mean...why not right? I play...

Hey! Anyone with Ampeg expertise know how to date this cab? Wondering if this is of the "muddy/dark" era of the 610hlfs?

Hey All! Currently running an ampeg V4B Reissue into an older St. Louis 610hlf and the lows just well...get muddy. Particularly live, HOWEVER, love the volume of the 610. Of the two which would you suggest? Playing hard rock/pop punk/power pop twists on covers. Also, FWIW playing a custom P bass...

Hey all! So, I'm struggling with my rig and wondering which you'd recommend. I am currently running an ampeg V4B Reissue into a USA SLM Ampeg svt-610hlf. The volume is isbt an issue, but what I'm finding is my low end is not clear and punchy. Mids and highs are VERY present which is awesome but...

Hey all! Looking to pick up one of these two heads, a little wary of the 2-pro (Blue Letter era) as it's a hike to get to but seller says he'd take 500 bucks for it. Gotta be a trap right? Anyway, of the two which would you do? For context play punk rock/power pop with a custom PJ. Let's see...

Hey All! So, wondering what the group think is here. I am currently running an ampeg V4B reissue through a 610hlf (older cab, SLM days) and find it to be a bit...Undefined in the lows. Mids and highs actually come through nicely when hitting runs. Wondering what the consensus would be here...

Trying to decide which to pair with my Ampeg V4B reissue....any thoughts?

Hey all! Scouring for a bass cab and what say y'all. Currently running a 610hlf (US Made SLM), but have heard the newer Chinese made 610s actually sound better. I'm also open to possibly a Heritage 410hlf, but I remember my old SLM 410HLF being REALLY woofy. Mostly using my V4B Reissue with a...

Hey All! Looking at this 610HLF and wondering if there's a way to accurately date it. It is the US made version, and debating a new(er?) o verseas made as consensus is they are "better" sounding. So, multiple items here...date on this (see pic), or if the overseas made is "better" what is the...

Hey all!! Currently have a 410he with my V4B Reissue. I'm planning to add an SVT to the mix for larger gigs and wondering which cab you would suggest. 212AV, 610HLF, or add something like a 1x15 under the 410he. Playing hard rock and melodic punk rock. Keeping it Ampeg, and NOT going 8x10. CHEERS!

Finally, at long last it has arrived... Used it at band practice through my ampeg svt 410he and it is every bit what I had hoped for, plenty of punch and at 100w that all tube growl....YES INDEED!!

Hey TB community! Recently picked up and Ampeg v4BH, faceplate looks like the current SVT-CL. I was only able to give it a quick run through at rehearsal, and I found that I had to crank it up pretty good to sit well in the mix. Our guitarist was using a 50w Friedman Runt and 2x12 with v30s. I...

Scored this beauty for 600 bucks out the door....I'll post more pics later too! Gonna take it to rehearsal in about an hour to really stretch her legs but test play was shagin' ACES!! How'd I do?!

Hey everyone! After much searching I have narrowed in on an Ampeg V4B. I'm looking for experiences good/bad/indifferent with either or both! Played through a 4x10he. Playing 90s pop-punk/power pop. (Bands like Chicago heroes the Methadones, if you like good power-pop type stuff check 'em out..)...

Hey everyone! So, I play both guitar and bass, and am now in a new project playing power-pop/punk covers of classic songs. Looking for a great sounding head for that with my Custom PJ bass (see avatar!) with Fralin PJ set in it...so good. Playing through either a 4x10 or 2x12. Anyway its really...

Hey all! Wondering which direction would serve better in a power-pop cover band. Think early 90s Green Day, but doing covers. Basically power-trio playing well known songs with a twist. If given the two to choose from, which way would you go? Cheers!

Hey guys!! I not to long ago stepped up into a brand new American Standard P bass. LOVE IT!! Should have dropped the coin on it WAAAAY sooner. Anyway, she has the 62 custom shop in her, wondering pretty damn good for a stock PUP, but would a Duncan SPB-3 suit me better for harder rock. Also...

In the market for a new bass rig. It would either be the ampeg v4b with svt 410hlf classic or Fender Bassman 100T with a Pro Neo 410. Playing a punkish style in the vein of Social Distortion by little more up tempo, not by too much though. Thoughts in either direction?! Two guitars, one an...
