I slap a little on my NV610. My tone is punchy, growly, and edgy, with tubey grit sprinkled on top... and I absolutely love it, especially when my strings are fresh. Sure, clean sounds thru the NV610 -- it gets pretty bright -- but with no tweeter it lacks the über-high-end 'ping' (7kHz and above) that some modern slappers prefer.

FYI I think Flea-type slap works great thru it, and I think Marcus Miller style would probably work too, but the NV cabs would not work for, say, the squeaky-clean Ken Smith style slap tones.

Agreed.
I slap 'n pop a little on my NV425, and it gives me enough with what I need.
With my MTD though I can add in some "zing" if needs be.

Right Now I have an ampeg 610hlf run with an svt4pro, usin my modulus Q5 with bart electronics. I was guaranteed a new cabinet for xmas from my grandmother, bless the lady, what would you guys recommend, as I was thinking bergantino this time. SHould i Get the 2x15 or the 4x12, or would u recommend another 610. What i really want in sound is more bottom end you can feel in your stomach. the ampeg 610 is so amazingly clear and punchy, but i feel it gets lost in the mix on longer sustained notes, as u can only hear the great sounding initial punch. I was even thinking a 1x18 but im not sure, what would you guys do??

If you want to punch through a mix, the NV610 is the way to go. If you want to get under the mix, but do so without any "holes", the NV215 is awesome.

Tom.
