Show your amps! Part 2

Tom

Tell us more about the Carvin amp, please!

Well, not much to say, really. 500w into 4 ohm, 800w into a 2 ohm load, slightly warm, punchy tone, very ballsy, quite loud, decent EQ, great feature set, good build feel, etc.

Tom.

Well...you have good taste in bass guitars...































Yeah, your other stuff is OK, too.

lo-freq,
Those SVT II non-pros are great amps! If it wasn't for the Aguilar DB750 I'd be playing my SVT II also.
:^) dD

I was being facetious; I know a lot of people like them.

That is rock tone for a lot of people and I think that's fine.

I've never played through one, but I'm sure I'd like the tone for some stuff.

I'm mostly a solid-state type of guy (at least good SS -- some SS amps sound crappy or ball-less or both).

Very nice! I bet that is a great combo.

thanks tom. i'm very happy with the sound & power match.
see my initial review in amps forum

i've been thinking recently how much bass cabinets have improved since the 70's (1000%) compared with improvement
of amp heads (50%)

year after i climb out of debt

 

[saxnbass]

[jellymax]

Yea, those Ampeg tube amps really have a rock tone, you're right. I haven't had the opportunity to play EAs yet but I hear they're phenominal! My Aggie DB750 has the best of both worlds IMHO. A friend of mine got an EA800. He says it's the best. LOL! To each his own. I'll bet your EA600 sounds great with the SR5 too!

Between the 600 and my EA CX-310, the SR5 sounds like a $5000 bass guitar (very solid, punchy, and a rich, focused, pristine harmonic presence).

straight into a fridge 810 cab with little eq, they are THE
rock tone. however i have found with a modern cab,
plus using the ultra low switch for a scooped sound, plus a
little bit of EQ, -------BAM. you get a modern sound, silky,
buttery, with oodles of headroom!
