Well, just pointing that way. Acme is one of the better cabs around for modelers. Also strong for modeling are Duke LeJeune's cabs. Those are like my fEARfuls, capable of getting louder in a smaller lighter bundle than the Acmes, but as you say, if you are just at home that won't matter.

Gain Schmain

The "Silver Panel" (Fender Bassman) model is off the hook!

You can smash it with GAIN and it just sings, same with the "MoSound" (Ampeg B-15) model

Have any of you noticed the greatness of these and other GAIN-LOVIN' models?

Tip: First turn down/off the COMPRESSOR to hear the true effects of this V-AMP phenomenon

Cheers!

Thanks, mow!

Let me just say that I'm a happy guy :-)

The Ampeg PRO NEO cabs are a bit pricier, but cabs are one thing you do not want to skimp on when building a rig. The PN-410HLFs kill, weigh-in at 64-pounds a piece and are made in the U.S.A.

Dino Monoxelos, The Ampeg Guy, has YouTube videos on the PRO NEO series you should definitely check out

My picks for preamp and power amp are the V-AMP + Crown XLS DriveCore for the win, but I think you already know that

Cheers!

So..... Need a loudish rig. I have a Peavey IPR 1600 amp. I have a Mesa 1516b cab (needs a 15" cone.... just bought two 3015LFs for another project, may toss one in there). I think I need a Bass V-amp Pro. The only question, for me, is do I biamp the 1516, or run it full range. Not sure if this as sad or funny, but I bet a can't use one of those rack mounted guitar hangers to hold my bass. The rack, WITH my RF unit and all this stuff is likely gonna be too light! The bass will pull it right off the cab.

This should be a FUN rig. I have the GTR version, for noodling. THAT is a great unit

The Bass V-AMP pairs well with the new Class D power amps like the Peavey IPR 1600, but sorry, I can't help you on the Mesa cabs. Experiment and have some fun.

The bass hangers I've seen for those large cabs actually put the strain on the cabinet handle and not the rack up on top, so I still think you may have a chance there!

Cheers!

When you use such Hi-Fi cabs with modelers do you leave the cab simulations on?

Since you have an actual cab, you don't need cab simulation. Cab simulation is handy for someone like me where I play my V-Amp through the Synagogue's house system.

Or if you play through headphones, like me.

I'm fortunate enough to have a very nice pair of studio monitor headphones that I've been using when playing my bass through my V-AMP. Don't need to use my crappy sub-$100 combo amp anymore.

I have turned off cab simulation even in the house system, to see what it would sound like. In essence, allowing the house woofer to be my cab. It worked out well enough that I've turned off cab simulation on all of my presets.

At the second church I play at, I have a Peavey 1x15 cab

My personal favorite for home practice through my headphones is the "classic clean" model with liberal use of the "deep" and compressor knobs. Pretty minimal EQ, a minor cut to the bass, a minor boost to the mids and a moderate cut to the highs. Unlike Charlie who runs his with maxed out gain, my bass has stupid-high output so I have the gain knob right in the center.
