First gig with my H-410HLF is tomorrow night, I'll post my thoughts on it soon after. Weight-wise, it feels lighter than my Swr Goliath III cab. Had a really quick rehearsal with my band and there was noticeably more low end present. But our practice space is so small, I feel like I really couldn't see what it could do. The walls were definitely shaking more than usual, that's for sure. The handles are no longer spring-loaded on the cab I got. (#9)

Ampeg Heritage SVT410HLF
- Thread starter MingusBass
- Start date
A lot of low end!!!! I had to cut the bass frequency some in order to get a sound I was happy with. I like a good, deep, punchy bass, but with a tone that is still articulate. I'm starting to wish there was a heritage series sealed 6x10 cab. I have yet to try the infamous 8X10 yet. If a helluva lot of low end is what you crave, the 4X10HLF will not disappoint, that's for sure.
I have a Heritage 410HLF, and I love it. I also have a 810-AV. I use both of these cabs with my SVT-VR.
The sound of these cabs are, well, very different from one another. Both are good though. As others have said, the HLF has a very deep sound (when eq'd flat with the VR), and I love to use this cab when I'm doing more low gain, "intimate" gigs. It is a nice warm billowy sound that really feels everything out nicely. Not to say it doesn't do well in louder situations--I would just prefer my 810 for that, and I'm fortunate to have both available. The 810 has more midrange growl, and I never have to worry about having enough juice.
Quality: I took the grill frame off the front of the Heritage HLF once, and the quality looked really top notch. My 810AV is chinese, and looking at the 410 made me really want to sell the 810 and buy a Heritage 810.
Hope that helps somebody.

weighs 34kg because the wood used is 15mm thick whereas the classic is 18mm or something. picked up one the other week and absolutely love it. paired with a GK 1001RB II it can do pretty much anything I want 
just curious, since this is a limited edition cab thats made with better quality materials and made in usa, will it go up in value in years to come? only 150 made. mines 82/150
dont think i bought it just for this reason tho lol. thatd b pretty stupid

It's arrived one week ago ....mine is number 111 ..... really is it a limited editon cabs? Only 150 made?
Mines number 38. It's definately a great cab and to me its solid like a tank. But I'm starting to get GAS for a Pro Neo 410 HLF tho. I want a bit less low end. SVT410 HLFs tend to be quite boomy. The PN410HLF seems to have less boomy low ends and sounds quite warm.
My amp is an SVT7 Pro so that PN410HLF should be a great match.

The standard is similar to your description, but I've yet to hear the Heritage 410hlf. Bet it kills, though. Heritage 810e certainly does.
I've been eyeing this cab lately. Are you guys mainly using 4 string basses into it or any 5 string players? I see it has a freq. response of 28 hz. Since low B is 31 Hz I'm not sure of the exact rating of low A? Would it be fair to say this cab would be one of the better cabs out there for drop A players?
