I think it depends on the band, songs etc For example The Jam I’m sure Bruce had vocal levels very near or equal to Paul, sounds like it at times For harmonies etc less volume I think is normal sitting under the main vocals. Levels are one thing but mic control etc is another skill in itself ! Then of course male / female vocalists mix can play a part as I find female lead singers can often be drowned out

The Fender Rumble gets very good reviews so I don’t think it’s a bad choice

The other option is two x SVT112 cabs as a stack ? Pricey way to do it though

Just checked manual and it’s 30kg virtually Regarding speakers I’m not sure it would end up sounding the same as the stock speakers although visually it would look amazing !

I recall reading that and I never weighed mine but I would say nearer to 27kg ( I think shipped weight it’s probably 30kg ) I could carry it a sensible distance from car to pub but I’m a big strong guy so it wasn’t too bad. A trolley / dolly works too if weight is an issue The voicing of the cab is what matches well with the V4B Not the most efficient cab but god does it look great and sound lovely as a rig.

I live in a road where you can hear the trains ( I chose to move here and never once considered complaining about the noise ) The trains were here first and the development built later Thankfully good insulation and windows and noise isn’t too bad and you get use to the background noise I’m sure someone has complained as is always the case ! Our local pub no longer has bands only duos etc based on one complaint from a new arrival who didn’t like noise at 10:30pm or earlier ! Pub trade fell off and I’m sure it will close thanks to one person whereas hundreds will miss out on yet another facility!

I think if we listened to all the complaints and moans from disgruntled folk and acted on them we would live in a very boring sterile non human kind of existence! The fact is so many things happen now in society that are far more horrific and offensive compared to occasional noise issues Some folk have forgotten what it’s like to have fun !!

I think it’s a shame we have become less tolerant of others having fun Many established music venues destroyed due to noise complaints often from one individual! People jumping on the mental health issue ( seems to be any reason these days it’s stated ) Granted in some cases of course it’s valid but perhaps it’s more down to lack of respect and tolerance. We really just don’t have much of it these days, proportionate fun and live and let live should be more the thing like it seemed to be years back Jeez we are all musicians on here and music comes with volume which we should applaud and congratulate any opportunity to keep venues open for music.

Grab the SVT212AV cab and a perfect sonic and visual match

Yep it’s a great amp for sure I found not using Ultra Low but more bass in my EQ and it kept the mids very punchy in the band It’s very loud for a 100w amp and has a different feel playing notes If you’re a pick player then Ultra Low on would definitely work Glad you like it

Assuming you’re just looking for stage volume and it’s mostly di out to a large PA rig then a decent 210 cab would suffice Rumble cabs tend to fart out when pushed and I’m not too sure they would handle the low B that well But they are reasonably priced If you don’t mind heavy gear then the Ampeg SVT 212 AV is a great single use cab and sounds similar to 610 and 810 Ampeg cabs. A decent 500w head should be fine, Darkglass are very good but so many others to consider and if you need drive just run a boss ODB3 in front or Spark Booster job done Amp Brands to choose Ashdown Ampeg Laney Aguilar ToneHammer Make sure they have a DI output Ive always found the best sound comes from heavier gear but some lightweight gear is a close second these days or some would say as good as especially the top end priced cabs Dont cheap out on cabs as they are more important than amps in many cases

Better video but didn’t hear a lot of difference when they changed the settings And the annoying wah wah guitar playing doesn’t help either ! Come on Laney you can show products better than this !!

Yep I agree that’s the place to start Raise input gain until it’s too gnarly and start off with flat EQ and mid selector on 800 and go from there Shouldn’t be any crackles or odd noises coming from the pre amp tubes and enjoy its glory !

So sad RIP to the great man of metal 🤟

Exactly what I thought. She may of well played a guitar through the amp instead of a bass ! That titting about on the fretboard doesn’t show an amp off for bass
