    Should I just purchase a new Ampeg Venture V12, or look for used SVT Pro? I need to buy within 1 week.

    Hi everyone, first post here. Disclaimer! I'm not a bass player. I play guitar, and have done so for decades. I'd call myself well-versed on everything related to guitars, guitar amps, and bass guitar - but when it comes to bass amps, I'm quite clueless. Back to the topic - I'm the head of...

    Lou Barlow bass tone

    I went to see Dinosaur Jr. in Glasgow last week and looking for a bit of advice on how to get his live bass tone. Don’t really have any worthwhile video from the gig but he was playing a music man, into an Ampeg SVT and had a pretty sweet driven tone. Thinking it’s nothing too complicated-...

    Ampeg SVT CL strange problem

    Hello! My Ampeg SVT CL does the following. When I start playing, it sounds normal. Great! However, few notes in (usually if I dig in a little bit) the sound changes on its own. It goes from EQ at noon to almost a smiley face EQ type of sound, with hissing included. Not great! And then it goes...

    Fender Rumble 800 Combo set flat - Sounding like Sansamp VT/Ampeg SVT

    I have a Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig 2 and there is a Character button that when pushed changes the SansAmp section from the VT to (pushed) Bass Driver. I've never owned an Ampeg SVT so I have no reference to what it sounds like. My understanding is the VT is supposed to sound like the classic SVT...

    P-Bass + Cranked SVT = Bliss

    We re-amped my DI track through a cranked SVT for the latest single of my band Ashmakers. There’s some extra processing going on, but the SVT provided some punchy growl that (imo) fits the track incredibly well. Specially during the verses, because the bass line carries the song there.
