For sure - excessive weight is a deal-breaker for me no matter how nice they are. My current ceiling is 9lbs - anything over that is admired from a distance.

What a pity. I would never miss all these basses which are exquisite but over 9lbs of weight. Best example are Alembic. Thus, I really don‘t care about weight.

I haven't seen the term "curved line" before. What's that referring to?

I have both examples

Welcome back - it still is out there, a good friend got it recently and luckily not too bad. Hope you're better. Everything's the same here

Thanks. It's nice to begin to be interested in interesting things again! Haven't picked up a bass in over a week....

is the one on top a 6146 model and if so, has it been converted to 6550s?

I don’t think there were any “black line” SVT’s that were also 6146. I think only the earliest of blue line were 6146.

6550's

69?

Those are the NV115's
That is my primary stage rig speaker wise with the Berg Forte HP. The Berg 610 is paired with an Aguilar 751.
At the time of that picture I was A/B ing the two heads to see which one I wanted to take out with me for a gig.

 

[Instagator]

69?

It might be a 70 or 71.
Not sure how to date it.
I believe the other is a 75

 

[GonePlaid]

Mine's not working either. Prolly a powersource issue.

Thx Dude. It's good to be getting back to normal.

TBH, if I needed that kind of 'oomph', I'd just as soon have a Kasino 254(400W>4x15). I already have the left part; just need the(powered)module on the right. And, no pesky[expensive]tubes to "mess" with. Built-in tilt-back casters.
