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

Thanks Bill So vertically stacked is better in addition to speakers being nearer to ears but any other reasons ?

I am aware of the situation of a single 410 cab and having the four speakers layout but what is the improvement if any of stacking two 210 cabs ( horizontally) where the two sets of speakers are further apart than in a single 410 box if that makes sense ? see image as example and in my case both tweeters would be off im aware that vertically stacking is better

Nice 👍
