    Lord that sounds wonderful Might be the guy in one of these bands? myspace.com/unsanctum myspace.com/draggedintosunlight myspace.com/ninkharsag myspace.com/eyehatewizardfight How did it sound?

    Hmm I alter it from time to time depending on the song. I try to avoid messing with my amp because the smallest tweak on it results in a huuuuuuge change in volume which considerably annoys sound guys + others in band.

    Them thar be pretty basses

    Well I think that's a lovely looking bass! And Bacchus have a good pedigree. Dunno, doubt there will be much experience with these here, think you might have to just dive in!

    Wrong part of the forum buddy... Don't worry though, a mod'll probably move it. Welcome to basschat

    Hello there, I'm looking to sell my Ampeg Classic 410HE and SVP preamp, thought these were gone but unfortunately things fell through. The 410 is one of the American models and is in very good nick. It's served me well but my Matamp is the favoured cab now so it seems pointless to keep it around when I'm trying to fund my gap year travels . I've found it to be a versatile cab, handling ballsy rumbles, squeaky clean smoothness and "that" ampeg sound with equal ability. It's a lovely sounding bit of kit. The SVP is...well, an SVP, quite a few have been on here recently. This was left over when I traded my Mesa strategy for a 400+, so again, I have no use for it now. I believe it's the front end of an SVT-2Pro but I'm happy to be corrected on that . Here's a video of some guy testing it [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V2HBtC8CYk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V2HBtC8CYk[/url] I'll get some pics up soon I'd prefer a collection and since I'm around and about quite a bit for work we could probably work something out. If not any shipping will be an extra. Looking ...£300? for the 410E ONO. I'm not sure of valuation on these so I'm open to negotiation on that. If anyone has a better idea do say, I'm not here to rip anyone off As for the SVP they seem to all go for £250 here so that would seem fair. PM for more info Thanks guys Ash

    FWIW I've also heard nothing but great things about the orange 115 too. Won't really fit the aesthetic though.

    No responses? IIRC the Five Finger Death Punch bassist was using two of these at Download this year ( I think he's an endorsee so it might be worth checking some of their songs out for tone). Being a festival it wasn't exactly the best place to experience them but they sounded reasonably good. Also a couple of guitarists I used to work with really rated the higher end Kustom stuff, reckoned it should have a higher price on it. That said, I'm sure you could probably pick up a better 2x15 on the second hand area here. I would say try before you buy but I don't know anywhere that would stock it unfortunately

    I'm falling into the old want vs. need argument. This would pair amazingly with my 400+ ... aaargh.

    [quote name='Toasted' post='653622' date='Nov 13 2009, 02:17 PM']It looks fantastic.[/quote] Sounds gorgeous too . I'll take some proper pics with a real camera at practice tomorrow. I would nip over and do it now but it's 45 minutes away. Also I guess I'm pretty late to this party but I'd recommend going to the factory to anyone, it's an experience in itself. Even cooler was he made up that head unit right in front of me in about an hour. Awesome stuff! I'm loving the cab.

    How have we got this far without mentioning Erik Mongrain?! Good lord that was incredible.

    Following on from the greatest moment thread I thought we'd go for surreal My main one has to be randomly coming across Jools Holland's TV show and seeing one of my acquaintances (I used to do some jazz/blues stuff with him and did a couple of musicals with him too) from my year at my school playing on it this week with his band Stornoway. Crazy stuff. Really random to see someone who you used to play music with doing so well. Happy for him though and it must have been incredible for him Anyway, anyone else have anything?

    Looks awesome , if you don't mind me asking how much did it set you back?

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='642519' date='Nov 1 2009, 02:31 PM']What DI are you using? Do you use drive pedals? Using a big valve head means a fairly important chunk of your tone is fromt he amp and speakers, and the DI is before them. Totally not worth lugging a Mesa about if you are DIing before it. If you are using drive pedals, then a DI, that can also be a problem, they produce lots of nasty highs the speakers in a bass cab won't reproduce, but will come out of the PA, meaning the treble has to be cut, which might be the muddyness to your sound. Mic up, and give angry looks to a sound man who refuses, or get your own bass specific DI, plenty of Sansamps going.[/quote] Thanks for the response I'm using the DI out the back of the head itself , and I agree with you! Totally pointless DI'ing beforehand. I hate it when they pull out those little silver behringer DIs then wonder why you get annoyed. If I wanted to go straight into the PA I wouldn't bring a rig! Bah. Hmm, as for whether going the sansamp or the mic route, I'm tempted to go mic route simply because it's cheaper as far as I'm aware. Would any standard kick drum mic do or would I be wanting to go for something else? Reason I ask is I have one of those Red5 bass drum mics knocking around and they're reasonably well regarded in drum circles so would this do the job? Ta! Ash

    Hello, I've recently been having problems with my live sound. I'm running a Mesa 400+ into a Matamp 410 and (if it's a big enough venue) an ampeg 410HE. I don't use effects and usually stick with one bass for the whole set (my MTD). On stage and when practicing in our rehearsal area things are sounding great to my and the bands' ears but apparently front of house bass tone sounds muddy and horrible. Now, I'm pretty sure this isn't a tone problem. I played a non PA gig last night and everyone reckoned the bass sounded good. They said it cut well and rounded the overall sound. In fact, since another bassist used all of my equipment for a couple of songs to begin with I got to hear it too and I thought it sounded great. All the gigs where there have been comments about bad FOH bass sound have been where the head is DI'd. Is this a sound engineer cock up or would it be worth getting equipment to mic up the rig? And if so, what would be the best mic to go with? Thanks! Ash

    +1 , that said, if matamp are reasonable I'll just get one made...

    Maybe cos no one bought them? If you're interested there is one rumbling around PMT IIRC. EDIT - Oxford PMT that is!
