    Official Ampeg Portaflex Club

    It's two things. It's paying homage to the lead singer in Ploho who has one on his Roland JC120 in the Prosti music video. It's also there to help secure the amp in transit. I have to put one on the cab too, especially since it's on wheels.

    Official Ampeg Portaflex Club

    Just wanted to update you guys. The RB210 doesn't just look like it belongs on top of a PortaFlex, it sounds like it too. These are, truly, a match made in Basshala. I've actually never been happier with my sound than through this pair. I'd noticed that, paired with the BA210v2 (peaking out...

    The Official Ibanez TMB Talman Bass Club

    Hello. I just wanted to join the club and show off Felon and Felony. I've owned exclusively Talman basses since the TMB300 came out. Switched to 5 string with the TMB105. I now own the 405TA and 425B.

    Show me your living room rig

    Ibanez Talman TMB405TA, Ampeg RB210. Pedalboard has a Boss tuner/buffer, EHX Micro POG, Ibanez Bass Tube Screamer and EHX Bass Clone. My band has a practice space where I have an Ampeg BA210V2 and an Ampeg Portaflex PF210HE so all I pack is my bass and my pedalboard. Then I take the RB210 and...

    Official Ampeg Portaflex Club

    Anyone else feel like the new Rockets are intended to match the PFs? I know everything looked like B15s back in the day, but it just looks like the RBs are supposed to sit stop the PFs? And they sound amazing together.

    Open E Suddenly Very Quiet

    I was jamming into a DI box with our band's guitarist. We heard a crackling noise and then my open E is just quiet as hell. If I play a note on the E String it sounds fine. But open it's just not as loud. I've adjusted string height, changed the string itself. It's quiet in both pickups as...

    What's your rig of choice for this weekend? Part 2.

    Had two awesome practice sessions this weekend. Our band is called Dear Dark and it's really the best group of people I could have ever been in a band with. There's a ton of mutual respect, everyone is super complimentary, and everyone is heard. I've never had that in a band before. Anyway...

    Official Ampeg Portaflex Club

    That makes sense. So, I play exclusively Ibanez Talman basses and they have active preamps in them and they're HOT preamps. I can actually yell into the pickups and hear it. But, I set all of my nobs on the amp to 12-o-clock and have the volume at about 12:45. It's numbered 6 on the BA120...

    Official Ampeg Portaflex Club

    Are you playing a bass with active EQ? Like an Ibanez with a bass boost?

    Official Ampeg Portaflex Club

    That's an Ibanez Talman TMB 405TA. I had to have it. I have a TMB105 and am looking at the blacked out TMB425 and I want it soooooo bad. But yeah. The cab sounds so good. The BA210 is gonna live in the practice space with the PF and then I'm getting a RB210 for the house and live. I'm...

    Active vs. passive IRL

    So, I only own 5 string Ibanez Talman basses so I play actives for everything. They're all flat EQ, bridge pickup, tone rolled all the way off. Gives me that good throaty bass sound I like from prog bands and they take up chorus, octave and tube screamers really well. Plus the extremely hot...

    Official Ampeg Portaflex Club

    Just ordered a PF210 HE as an extension cab for my BA 210. I'll be part of the club starting Saturday.

    Portaflex Question

    I'm in a Goth-Rock band and the 10s give me better high end for my Chorus and Tube Screamer. Plus when I play clean I like the sound of 10s better than 15s. I think if I were in a heavier or bluesy or even a funkier band I'd slap a 15 on it. My main focus is just getting more surface area and...

    The Official Hartke Club Part 2

    Well. It would be 4x10" as it would have the extension cab. That's kind of what I'm comparing it to. I have a BA 210 and volume wise it keeps up, but it's going at full bore so it has no bottom end. It's also not mine anymore. My options are getting a cab for the BA and saving for an RB or...

    The Official Hartke Club Part 2

    Will this have the similar volume as something like an Ampeg RB 210 with a 2x10 extension cab? I know it's lower surface area, but I have to make a decision in the next week and one is significantly cheaper than the other and if I can get similar volume out of the Hartke, that's the direction...

    The Official Hartke Club Part 2

    I have a question about the Hartke 508. How is this using the 500 watts? It says 250 watts RMS and I'm confused what that means. Is it sending 250 to each pair or??? If it can't use all 500 watts, what's the point of having a 500 watt power amp? I know head room is important, but I paid for...

    Portaflex Question

    The PF 210HE is 8 ohm. It's why I'm considering that one specifically. Doubles my surface area and gives me my headroom back and matches the impedance of both amps.

    Portaflex Question

    In the practice room I can orient them any way I want. The RB is gonna stay at my pad, and when we go live I'll be taking the RB and the PF cab. It really all just depends on what I need in the future. If I like the RB and PF together and need more I'll just get a signal box and a second RB...

    Portaflex Question

    Yeah. That's what I need more than anything because I'm basically tapped at practice so I'm losing all of my bottom end.

    Portaflex Question

    Quick question. I have an Ampeg BA210 that used to be mine but isn't mine anymore but it lives in my bands practice space. Very complicated. I'm looking at getting an Ampeg RB 210. Would the Portaflex 210HE be a good extension cab for both of these amps?
