[quote name='Musicman20' post='564946' date='Aug 10 2009, 01:38 PM']Cheers man! Its a shame they are so freakin slack! I think on that recording it was my old Trace 400 SMX (now sold on) through a 4x10 they had at the studio (bizarre make, but damn crisp) and a sansamp to add some grit. Some of the songs are just DI into the board through the sansamp. The bass? Just my MIJ Reissue Fender P! Least expensive bass I own, but does a sterling job [/quote] Cool man, I just picked me up a mia 98 p! Its my first fender and its really nice gave it a go at my bands gig last Thursday and it sounded wicked, still prefer my modulus to it tho but its a close second I gotta say! Andy

we've recently put up a new track to add to the four others that have been up for a while, would meen alot if you could take a few minutes and give our songs a spin and give me some of you opinions. [url="http://www.myspace.com/syruss"]http://www.myspace.com/syruss[/url] thanks andy

mate some wicked tunes! i can't really get on with the vocals but thats just me! but your tone is wicked! what are you using and how'd you record it? andy

[quote name='Musicman20' post='564116' date='Aug 9 2009, 01:29 PM']I bought a brand new SVT 810E cab....expecting it to solve everything. It just wasn't really that impressive. You had to have it very loud to get a good tone. That was a Vietnam cab....and yes QC wise it was pretty damn spot on! But...Ive never owned the US stuff. I dunno....that and the fact my friends Ampeg SVT 3 Pro struggles with volume has really put me off Ampeg. I won't be going back to them now...the cab has gone and the much nicer sounding/looking Aguilar cabs took its place. I tested a SVT-VR and I found it pretty dull. I was probably not EQ'ed correctly, but it did not have the wow factor for me. I think after a few years Ampeg will pull it back.....but I cant see myself tempted by their products again.[/quote] im forced to agree with you with the volume thing, with my pro-6 it does seem like they've exaggerated the output, it just doesn't seem 1100w loud. but i do love the tone that it puts out! and on bigger stages with di support i never have to worry and if your playing somewhere where its just your backline with my 610 it plenty loud enough. also my 610 is built in china and has spotless QC also just checked out you band dude! nice tone! andy

[quote name='alexclaber' post='563382' date='Aug 8 2009, 11:21 AM']Even a high power amp shouldn't draw that much continuous current unless there is a fault or you are using a very low current power lead. A hi-fi amp of mine did a similar thing years ago which was related to transformer failure. Alex[/quote] im using the lead that came with the amp and it's been fine up till now. andy

Mmmm andy

doing a sound check for our gig thursday night, and i smelt burning looked behind and the kettle lead of my pro-6 was smoking! turned it of straight away, and unplugged the lead from back of the amp, and it was melted! and stinking! what the hell would cause that! i know the pro 6 has a large current draw! but its never happened anywhere else! any ideas? im taking it to get looked at tomorrow as it is under guarantee but im concerned as we play alot of places this size and i'd rather not have my amp doing this half the time! is there any way to help the current draw stay down? andy

thats a silly price! alot of prices vary tho as when i was looking for an amp the svt pro-4 was going from 1600 to 1200 all the time on the same site! but the pro-2 for 1199! or the svt! thats a silly price!

been listening to alot of live metallica from back in the day!, ive heard this is what burton used to get the awesome fuzz tone in his solos and lead breaks in songs? this true, if so whats a reasonable price and how hard are they to change to 230v? as i believe there a mains supplied pedal? anyone used one on bass? andy

i was a little disapointed when i a/b one with the svt pro-6 but in fairness there a big price gap between the to. i had a problem with how loud it is, as with my band id have been cranking it, but i agree it did have the ampeg tone but the pro's in my opion beat it as with the tube pre it just adds that little bit extra, but to be honest they aren't all bad, not like what alot of people make them out to be. infact ampeg aren't as bad as what people make them out to be.
