    Posted · Edited by elephantstone

    ****THIS IS NOW DEFINATELY FOR SALE****


    I've came to the conclusion that a 1x15 does not suit my sound and therefore i am looking to shift this on to raise funds to by a new cab.

    I bought this Ampeg SVT 1x15 Classic American Made on here from Kingbee.

    I got it in immaculate condition from Kingbee and it is still in immaculate condition.

    Comes with vinyl cover(also in immaculate condition)

    I have done a few deals on here, so look at my feedback thread for references.


    looking for £200 plus buyer arranges/pays for shipping or pick is welcome.

    All the best

    FEELER - Looking for Trade - Ampeg SV1 15E Classic

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    Guys this is just a feeler at the moment.

    I've came to the conclusion that a 1x15 does not suit my sound so i am now looking into the possibility of getting a 4x10.

    I bought the Ampeg SVT 1x15 Classic on here from Kingbee.

    its pretty much in immaculate condition. It also comes with custom made vinyl cover, also in great condition.

    I shall add pics later.

    Not interested in sales at the minute as my band are pretty busy with gigs so i would need something to come my way pretty quickly so just looking at the possibility of trades, although i wont be too disapointed if this doesnt go as its a cracking cab.

    Cheers

    What Effects to use to get this bass tone

    in Effects

    [quote name='DanOwens' post='1213955' date='Apr 28 2011, 04:47 PM']If you understand the natures of cutoff and resonance and how they interact then you'll understand that if you set the cutoff in a midrange position and boost the resonance you'll get a peak that'll accentuate a midpoint in the EQ spectrum. The problem is, you'd then want to turn the overall level down so the peak doesn't clip everything. The problem with this is you'll lose the bass and low mid and all the interesting part of the sound. You could use a clean blend (which would be running the filter in parallel) to get the rest of the sound back, but then you might as well just go Octaver>EQ instead of doing stupid complicated things with a filter.

    Ask any questions and we'll try and answer them.

    Cool, thanks for clearing that up,

    Think this is the route i will go down, just need to get hold of an oc-2 as the other guys seem to think this is the one to go for.

    Thanks for all the help.

    [quote name='DanOwens' post='1213075' date='Apr 27 2011, 08:06 PM']I'd also try running (in parallel) either a bandpass or a lowpass with a high resonance to get the mid-bump. TBH an EQ pedal in parallel would also do the job.

    I've used an M13 to get the FM/PWM/trianglewave thing that I've run in parallel to a sub to get that too. In fact, in preparation for a recent recording session I recreated a sound that's very similar to this but with a filthy, reece-y, squarewave on top.

    Yikes!

    sounds great, but i inly understood about 1% of that :)

    so, a lowpass filter with a high resonance?

    Ibanez Barrel Jack Socket Replacement

    [quote name='aldude' post='1191641' date='Apr 7 2011, 12:48 PM']If you have an active bass make sure you get a STEREO plug, *not* a mono one which is in the ebay link.

    A stereo plug has 3 pins - for the mono jack, 2 of the pins are signal and ground. The 3rd pin on the stereo jack is used to turn the active electronics on and off! Look at the pin you've got - there should be three wires (or if there are more, at least there should be 3 points of connection on the jack).

    A mono plug should be ok for passive basses but not for active ones, if you get a mono plug you will have to wire the electronics to be always on - which is obviously disastrous for battery life.

    FWIW I got the stereo version of the switchcraft jack and it works just fine in my active Bass Collection.[/quote]

    Don't know if you have solved this or not, It does semm to be a common problem with Ibanez's. I had to replaced the input jack on My Ibanez 400, it has a barrel jack also. i got a Stereo jack from maplin for about 2.50 and it works brilliantly.

    Stupid Question But Gotta ask

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    [quote name='alexclaber' post='1113777' date='Feb 3 2011, 12:53 PM']Note that it won't really be the extra wattage from the amp (due to the 4 ohm nominal load) that makes things louder when you add a second cab, it'll be the increased sensitivity (3dB more) and the increased excursion-limited power handling (another 3dB), so if you were running out of clean lows with just the one cab you'll get 6dB more of them with two. And 6dB more is quite a lot louder - in the bass region at typical loudness it equates to almost twice as loud, due to the way our ears work.

    So to recap - you're not louder because you have 200W instead of 140W, you're louder because you have twice as much 'speakerage'![/quote]


    hey man, thanks for the input, i have actually been reading similar stuff to that on your Barefaced website.

    Thanks,

    Stupid Question But Gotta ask

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    Right i think i may be being a little stupid here... but here goes.


    my amp is 200 watts into 4 ohms.

    i have an ampeg cab rated at 8 ohms so the output from the amp is only 120 in to the cab.

    it is my understanding from reading the net that if i get another cab rated at 8 ohms and run it in PARALLEL i will be able to get the maximum power out of my amp, i.e 4 ohms?

    is this correct or just plain stupid?

    thanks

    Sorry guys decided just to keep this as a spare/spare parts.


    ES



    Hey guys up for sale here is a Hartke HA3000. I got in a trade on here with Blind Pilot.

    This is in a very used condition.

    here is the link to the original thread, hope Blind Pilot doesnt mind.

    [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=108228&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=108228&hl=[/url]


    ***** the 3 pin input on the back is broken(the input the kettle lead goes into), this just needs soldered back into its casing if you know what i mean. The other issue is the post EQ effects send/return line needs to be bridged with a patch lead, have been assured that its just sticky contact in the jack socket *****

    hope this makes sense

    This is easily fixed i presume, but i have just agreed another deal on here so this can go.

    this may be of use to somebody for spares or who wants a good head that just needs a wee bit of repair.

    i was thinking 70 quid cos of the condition, or looking at pedals or cabs with money going either way depending on gear.
