This thread appears right after measuring
the back of my Explorer for a fridge ;)
And thanks for your input Ric but I'm going
with the CL . . . no comparison IMO
A/B'd just about everything in '05 and
I'm hooked on the CL/8x10. Now all I need
is bigger balls to bring this thing home.

Do it Chuck - if you don't, PM me w/that 1300
connection ;)

Every time I see a bass player on Leno they almost always have the classic 300 watt, all tube SVT with usually an eight ten cab. I have a SR5 and 4, Sterling and a Bongo on the way, shouldn't I also have the big Ampeg stack?


OK, so I don't have a bass gig at the moment, but wouldn't a big Ampeg SVT rig make me cool? Sure my Ashdown ABM 500 stack is more powerful, but Ampeg SVT is cooler.... right? Or am I just another fool with more money than brains?


I've got a deal in the works for the head, around 1300.00 new, what you do???

So I'm going to ge totally thrashed here, but I still want to say this: The Ampeg SVT is about as great as a Fe**er P bass. To some people it's the best ever...

IMHO, The Ashdown ABM 500 is a far better sounding amp!
And you are cool enough, you don't need Nikki Sixx cool;)

My amp is superior, it truly goes to eleven! When I bought my amp, I was in doubt between ampeg and EBS, both quality amps, but I choose for the EBS Fafner, in my opinion a much more versatile amp, and I got much better service (ampeg is american, EBS from sweden, and I live in Belgium). I always encourage people to try the EBS Fafner, which is a truly great amp. But the SVT is nice too, but if I was going to buy an all tube head, I'd go for a Mesa 400+
