Hey BigBallZ, Tell me More about Ampeg

Mr Light,
Is the Classic stuff the 'old school' design,
- or the most 'modern' design ???
~
/R

Yep,

...The 'Old School' design. It's the way to go!

 

[BigBallz]

I'd like to think that most of us are trying to move on but when you mention it in every other post it's kinda hard.

Andrew

Then don't ask....ok? Or bring it...one of the two.

Hey MingusBASS,
Good question !
- but there's a 'Federal Election' goin' on up here right now and
- I'm sworn to secrecy

The best I can say right now is
- "I've spent some time in 'Old Montreal"
- the women in Quebec are loose & lovely
- the women in Quebec are lovely & loose

Tnx shamus63 !!
CodeMonkey likes the B2R as well,
- do you know of a particular 1x15 cab that would "delivers the goods without breaking the bank or my back" ???

I've got two 1x15's (Ampeg Classic Series and GK 115BLX-II), as well as a GK 210BLX-II that I keep around.

With the Ampeg SVT-15EN, I'll run the B2R through that alone for small to lower volume level medium-sized gigs.

Other times, I'll pair the two GK's together for a more rounded sound.

And still one more pairing...both 1x15's for loud Classic Rock stuff.

Pretty soon I'm going to add another SVT-15EN to pair up with the one I already have, and just run Ampeg's together for some gigs, and GK's for others.

Ampeg bass heads, though.

Sunn Coliseum as a second, if I can find a good deal on one when I'm ready.

Can't we all just get a bong??

I personally feel, that from the posts I have read from both of you guys, that you are both very intelligent, funny guys that I would love to meet sometime (hopefully in the near future). but the bickering has got to end with someone, somewhere....
Just my two cents. Please forgive me if I am out of line.

Back to ampeg. ..

The tube combo you speak of Rayan is very phat in the tone department. I have heard a few of these lovely little beasts in person, I must state that I have never personally played thru one, but I loved what I heard coming out of that speaker; very warm, very phat, very AMPEG!
those lil buggers are'nt cheap by any means.

BTW I normally play my SR5's thru and AMPEG SVT CL head, and own a 8X10 and a 4X10 hlf CL. Since I got the HLF I rarely plug in the 8X10 for any reason anymore. but one of the bands I play with wants more speaker on stage. So I make them move the "fridge" LOL.
Portable is in no way, shape, or form to describe a SVT CL setup in any config. But the tone is worth every ounce!!

Time to pull out the cot.

Glad you finally joined us Bongoloids. You're jaw will drop when you plug it in. 18V of PURE RAW POWER . Got a little carried away there.

We're gonna need pics so we know it exists (and that you still exist ).

Maddog...I will proudly and gladly post as soon as it gets here! Thanks for the support.

Whatever man. Im not doing this again.

Just tired enough of you to take some time away from here.

 

[maddog]

I'm asking this of everyone:

Please give things a break. Take some time away from the keyboard and relax. There are more important things in life.

And as Jack (aka Mr. Manners) puts it: It ain't worth it to fight on the internet.

 

[BigBallz]

Ok

 

[Mr Light]

It's all good. I am more than happy to remind everyone of how awesome Ampeg is!

"THANK YOU" Msg To BP - 'NAMMon BONGOman'

~
Hey BP,
- I realize you're rather busy at this time of year,
- NAMM being what it is etc.

For what it's worth, from my experience,
- this is a really fine forum you got going
- You, Dr.Bovine, Nurse Beth, ModeratorZall
- and your gaggle of "Freaks" & Friends etc

- and all our *International Friends*

$
As I've been making changes in my Corporate-Country-Boy life
- it's been a real source of information and inspiration here

Tnx to you and all the EB Forumites,
- I'm gettin' reenergized
- as a bass player,
- and in my region, as a community minded citizen

Noone needs to hear any of my problems
- you've all seen some weird sh*t under my name over time

Tnx to all of you for your support
- past, now, and ongoing
- ALL of you !!!

$
ALL of you Musically Enthusiastic Human Beings who come here
because we love BP and respect what he and his family has done,
- True "Legendary Stuff",
and keeps doing for all of us and the world of music as a whole

I'm no expert on anything really,
- I grew up listening to everything since Hank Williams
- but as a human being and a musician, I'm always most inspired by stories I've read about Jaco, and how he had some problems, and what a person he was, and what a musical wizard he was, and how one night, when he was a bit on the 'outside' of things, someone whacked him, and he never woke up again in this world

I have Jaco's training video, and I see him
- 'lovin' a beat up 'J' bass
- and it boggles my mind

$
It's a tough time of the year for everybody,
- some of us are hurtin' worse than other at times

Anybody wants to yell or scream or let off some anxiety
- YELL AT ME !!!
- but please forgive each other for the miracle of humanity that gives each of us a chance to "Freak Out" with our Creative energies in a positive way
- all the while making us each so fragile and sensitive to hurt and pain and everything else in this crazy world

$
OMG
- Celine Dion just came on the jukebox
- I'm gonna cry !

LOVE EACH OTHER
- even when each of us makes mistakes

THANKS BP !!!
