They were low cost cabs and average quality at best. I would look at Fender Rumble v3 cabs as a better product and low price If you can step up further then MarkBass MB58R series are very light and sound great

I have two sounds Pick playing and no band and I like the tone and immediate attack of the notes, sadly when with the band I feel the thump and full depth is lacking and in some rock songs is so noticeable. Finger style I have my full sound which fills the band / room with bass you can feel and my challenge is maintaining clarity in the notes so I’m a high mids boosted kind of sound 1.5khz approx and 500hz approx slightly boosted too Pick playing of course I’m reducing the mids and high mids and trying to recover the full depth tone which is never really present. Either way I’m a typical PBass rock tone but cleaner sounding in the main as I just dislike overdriven bass tones

None of those things would concern me so I will be happy using as my main gigging amp. The EQ, compressor ( dual ) and pre shape feature are the details I like about it. The massive head room too is a bonus

Many good light amps that can sound as good or better than the SVT 3Pro Ashdown RM or ABM Trace Elliot Elf - TE1200 Orange Terror or LBT The list goes on but something that some of the above lack is a pre amp tube ( SVT 3 Pro has pre amp tubes ) so Ashdown ABM or Terror Bass may be a better choice today

I had an Ampeg SVT 3Pro and found it to be a good amp and the power was there if you pushed it Replaced it with an SVT CL 300w and felt I had everything I needed but I was young and lifting it wasn’t an issue I used a 610 cab and this helped ! Again a heavy beast but lots of speakers and everyone could hear it !

Great looking bass and as mentioned perhaps one or two high frets I would get a luthier to work on it if you want a flatter neck and don’t attempt it yourself unless you’ve done it before

Very true but with so much power it’s easy to set it so it sounds clean. Would have been nice to have so maybe the mk2 will have one ?

Sadly Chris Rea has just died Awesome singer and guitarist

It’s interesting that the TE1200 never seemed to sell well and is hardly stocked anywhere. I wonder if it’s the 1200w rating that put folk off ? Ive used 800w heads that seem underpowered at times PF800 as example even the RM800 isn’t what I would describe as extremely loud. 500w to 800w heads you can hardly hear the difference so 1200w shouldn’t concern folk as it’s only twice as loud as a 120w amp !

Loud and proud 😂🎸

Mine should arrive just after Christmas!! Just need LFYS to start building a 212 cab 4ohm rated 1000w and I’m set !

I was tempted to get an Elf to use as a spare amp assuming from memory they sound similar to each other ? I wish I hadn’t sold mine and although I don’t need 1200w what I do need is the remarkable sound they make. The extra watts are a bonus really

I’ve recently ordered the TE1200 amp as I missed it after selling to Stevie at LFYS. How are other owners getting on with theirs ? I think the dual compressor and type of EQ points and pre shape make this an awesome gigging amp

I’ve got the LM IV and had a TH 700 The TH is more tube like and vintage / warm sounding or can be with its drive. Takes a lot of tweaking to get just right. The LM IV is simpler and has different EQ points and totally clean although the old school control can darken it some. The LM IV is a loud amp and good head room and is in my opinion better and more flexible than the TH However I plan to sell mine as I need something with a bit of grunt and with a built in compressor. Although also a clean amp I’m waiting on the arrival of the TE1200 ( second time I’ve purchased one ) as it’s amazing in its tone and compressor. Not grind or snarl but great sounding
