Can anyone give some good options for my NOS V4BH?
Anyone tried the 610HLF?

V4BH cab options

I just got back from GC. I saw a Markbass 810CL cab. Seemed pretty light for an 810 and it is a sealed design. Of course i didn't have my amp. Any opinions on these cabs yet?
SVT 4x10 HLF would be a good fit. Sounds good with my Traynor, which is a similar sounding amp to the V4HB. The V4HB wouldn't really be able to drive the 6x10 enough, I think; I actually A/B-ed the two, and the 4x10 sounds way punchier and tighter.
I use a 610HLF with mine. It absolutely sounds killer and projects real well. For clubs without PA support the most the V4BH was ever on was 5 using the 610 (big room). I play classic and modern rock with it...
I have a 60's V4-B that I play through two Hartke XL 4x10 cabs with new Eminence Legend speakers. I play a Warwick Dolphin Pro and a Nash JB 63.
The 10's give me the attack I am looking for while the amp gives me that classic, compressed tube power I look for. Everywhere I take the rig I get compliments on my tone.

Do you wanna stick with Ampegs or are ya open to other brands too? I'd recommend an Aguilar GS212 - it's got a great warm and natural sound and isn't too terribly large but will shake the foundations for sure.
I like a fairly clean (but warm) tone that only gets gritty when I really dig in. I use the rock settings from the manual with a bit more mids. I do not use ultra high or low. Also, I keep the presence switch (on the back) enabled. Watch you pre gain, if set too high, you will get grit much much quicker. Better to keep it lower and raise the master.
The Bergantino NV610 is a great match for the V4BH. I use this combination when playing in a three piece band - the tone is to die for.
I like the tone of my V4BH when pushed through 15's alot. But, 4 or 6 10's will have more percieved volume, so whatever you like, it's sure to sound good, it's a great underrated head. Merry Xmas.
