Has anyone owned this cabinet. If so I am trying to get some feedback before I buy one.
I have heard them used on some of my favorite bass players but I never hear anyone mention them on here. It is only the 810E or vintage.

Any feedback would be great. I am going to be using it with a SVT4pro and warwick thumb nt 5 string. I am looking for growley punch lows and mids with clear highs.

Thanks,
Dave

Go for it. I've played the 4x10's and they are great. The pro series cabs are built much better than Ampeg's classic line; they are baltic birch and have a great bedliner type coating instead of rat fur or tolex. I've seen some used ones that have held up very well. They are extremely heavy due to the construction, but what 8x10 isn't? Timmy C uses one of these 8x10's in his rig if that means anything. The 8x10's were discontinued probably since they didn't catch on due to weight/cost.

The lows are huge but tight - remind me a lot of Eden XLT cabs. I spent a lot of time comparing this to their Classic 410HLF cab and I eventually went with the Classic because it was so much cheaper. I recently sold that cab, but if I went back to Ampeg, I would go with this series because the construction is so much better. I think they are a good all around choice because they can go more modern or do the Classic thing with a bit more clarity and focus, which I is where I eventually found the 410HLF to be somewhat lacking.
