Hi, Does anyone know a good supplier for parts - latches, board, corner brackets etc - to make a pedalboard flightcase for my Zoom 9.1ut, Line6 wireless etc ? Pete

[quote name='doctorbass' post='1240314' date='May 22 2011, 01:35 PM']I regret selling my 15E and always thought about using two together. What amp are you using and what sound are you going for Pete?[/quote] Hi , I`m using an Ampeg SVT450H head with the two SVT15E, perfect sound for the Rock covers ( 70`s through to modern day ) stuff we are doing. I used to run the SVT head into an Ashdown 4x10 deep cab, with a 115 deep cab ( the 4x10 weighed almost 90lb, and the 115 almost 65lb ! ) so its GREAT having two 115 cabs weighing 48lb each, with removable castors. The sound from these cabs is superb ( in my opinion ) each note is so well defined, unless you want to drive the input hard, in which case you get a "growl". I run my American Standard Jazz, through one channel in a Tech 21 VT Bass delux, using a second channel going through a MXR Phase 100 - for the Lizzy numbers. The only control I alter gig to gig is the Middle on the head.....................simple. I do believe that now I have my perfect set up - Sound, Lightness and Looks.................................unless.................................... Pete

Unfortunately, my back couldn`t deal with it, but for someone without a recurring back injusry, it wouldn`t be any bother. That does seem to be a huge typo though, I wonder how they made such an error. Even if someone had changed the speaker cone, it wouldn`t reduce the weight by 24lbs.[/quote] Hi, just taken delivery of my second SVT15E...............................weight 48lb ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Same cast frame Eminence speaker as the first, same weight ! I`m now one VERY happy bass player.........................who`s back has been saved ! Can`t seem to get a direct e-mail addres for Ampeg in the states, so I have informed Loud Tech ( UK distributor ) Pete

Hi , Just bought an Ampeg SVT 115E Classic Cab, because of its sound and lightness. Went on to Ampeg web site, states the weight as 72lbs ! Actual weight of cab ( the one I bought ) 48lb ! Rang Loud Tech - they say the cab weight is 72lb - taken from Ampeg web site! Have I got one with something missing I will find out soon, as I have ordered another ! Anyone else found these "light" cabs ? Pete PS Was informed this afternoon, by the shop, that my second cab will be with me in 10 days ( its in Holland at the moment ) I`ll weigh that, and if its the same, let Ampeg (US ) know. Pete PS Opened the cab up last night............... Speaker is an Aluminium cast frame Eminence - made in China - found 1inch thick wadding all surfaces inside cab, does look like chipboard built cab ! Still, I love the sound, quite a growl, cant wait for the second one ! Look out Mr Drummer, get some earplugs ! Pete
