Well, I missed closing the old thread by about 500 posts, so, this is 2.5

Dammit! I was hoping it would at least make 2000!

Well Jimmy, I'll try to keep not paying attention...maybe this one will.

Why are there two of these II.5 threads?

I guess Chef is trying to make up for not starting part 2 sooner.

I figured he was hoping the threads would just die out on their own and save him the trouble

Nope, too much love for these PFs to quit now!

I read somewhere that a p-bass has to be played through 15's only, but I can't confirm that....

Oh great...now in two weeks, everyone's going to be saying that as gospel even though you meant it as a joke

So you can actually get a pretty decent deal with the Ampeg $50 rebate...

AND...the $100 off coupon with a $499 purchase from Guitar Center until 8/14/11.

That equates to a PF-350 & PF-115HE for $550.00...not bad.

I got the PF 500 + 15 about a month ago after reading through most of the old thread. Thanks to all the good advice by the way. Anyway, I played it for a couple hours at Sam Ash and decided to buy. They honored a $100 off coupon from guitar center so I got it for $699 plus tax.

I love the set up but I get some rattle when the gain and volume are cranked. Does this happen to anyone else? The rattle is coming from the head but I am hesitant to take anything apart.

I can't watch that again. Everytime I see it, I want to "borrow" your Ric...

I'm cashing in on this, already have my coupon printed and have a $100 gift card for a second PF115. I guess I'll have to get some other stuff to reach the $499 price point, but oh darn. Not like I don't have a list... lol

Why wait two weeks? P-bass = 15 inch. (or 2X12 or 4X12).
Seriously, though, I'm sure I've missed it in all the post about the new pf's, but has anyone tried (or direct me to comments) a 500 with both 115 and 210 together? I've the 115pf cab, but think it could use two or a 210.

Might be a good idea just to take a screwdriver and check to make sure all the screws are tight. Is the head mounted in fliptop fashion to the speaker cab? If so are the clamps nice and tight when its clipped down on the cab?
