    Ampeg Venture Series - V7 or V12

    I recently purchased an Ampeg VB212 cabinet from Guitar Center, I'm saving up for a Venture head to pair with it currently. It's kind of my "goal rig" that I've been saving for quite a while to get, so I don't want to get it wrong. I talked to a guy that has a V7 head and he's running it...

    Mark Bass cab w/ Fender Head.

    Hi, everybody. I'm used to playing at home with a small 20W combo amp, which is fine for practice. I'm jamming with these guys in a studio and boy are they loud! My small combo is completely useless in there, and the house PA speakers just crap out the tone of my bass. We are planning to gig in...

    Eden D610 XLT with Darkglass MT900?

    Cabs similar to EBS?

    I have an EBS HD350 and my favourite pairing when I was overseas was with a EBS Proline 410 (4ohm). Unfortunately, I've moved back to Australia and it's pretty much impossible to source EBS cabs. So I'm searching for a similar (not necessarily "better") option. I'm thinking that SWR, Marcus...

    Experiences on connecting speakers.

    My amplifier has two Speakon outputs. I have two cabinets with Speakon inputs. What is the best way to connect them, each cabinet has its own connection to the amplifier? Or looping the cabinets through? What is your experience?

    Amp speakerout jack info

    I see in many amps: the speakerout for cabinet jack is like in the picture below (there are two of them on the left in green circles). (my amp doesn't have this kind of output, it has got a normal jack like the ones on the right in the picture) I'm wondering which kind of speaker cable to use...

    Are your cab and amp the same brand?

    I recently picked up a new Mesa WD-800 head and have been searching for a cab to go with it. I know the correct answer is to get whatever sounds best… But for now I’m just curious how many of you have mismatched brands for your amp and cabinet combo? I don’t know why but it bothers me a bit to...

    Double Bass GK MB150s discontinued. What to replace it with?

    I've been a user of these amps for 20 years and I don't know what to get to replace it. I don't love the Acoustic Image thing. I have a a small extension cab from GK that might work great with a little amp head. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

    AMPEG SVT18 with SVT212 or SVT410hlf

    Hello all. Hope you can give me some good feedback and advice. I started out with the SVT-CL with the 410hlf. Then upgraded 4 years later to the 4pro with the 410hlf+SVT18(the4ohm). That was my setup for another 4 to 5 years. But sadly I sold both cabs about 3 years ago because I took a break...

    Used sparingly at my home. Never gigged as I recently bought this a month ago in hopes to rehearse this with a band.

    Looking for new amp suggestions

    My SWR 500 has an internal ground loop problem that I can’t seem to figure out, so I decided it may finally be time to replace it. The cabs I’m currently using are the Mark Bass 2x10 and 115 travelers. I was considering the Mesa Boogie d800 plus but read somewhere that it didn’t play nice with...

    Help Me Choose A Cheap Amp Head!

    So recently, I was given a Fender BXR 300C from a friend that works to an extent, but the head is damaged, and with the missing knobs, broken high gain input jack, and frayed proprietary power cord. The combo amp is rated for 300W at 4 Ohms. I believe the speaker is a 1X15 as well. Since the...

    Is this a decent setup?

    I've been looking for a good bass head and cabinet without breaking the bank. Is the Hartke HA3500C with the Hartke 410XL a decent setup? I have a Sire v3 if that helps.
