I also made my own Ampeg bridge cable up - see here (half way in) [url="http://www.ampeg.com/faq.html"]http://www.ampeg.com/faq.html[/url] Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have a lil search through of the For Sale threads for a guide. IIRC (without looking) I;d say somewhere between 650 - 800 notes? As for the bridge cable - yes, as Rasta says, they are dead easy to make / have made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1ater Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 They're cracking amps, I'd say around £600 is a fair price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Stag has an SVT 5 pro, bridged in to an SVT 610. Hopefully he will be along soon to tell us how structural engineers have banned him from turning it up about 3 on the dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1ater Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I put mine through an ampeg 810 and it pretty much blew my pants off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raslee Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 If i need to use my full rig, which is rare, i use two SVT 4x10 HLF cabs, it is insanely dub heavy (as well as physically) and no need for a fan to cool me on stage with the amount of air this setup shifts . However i have only used the full rig 3-4 times in the last year - i find one 4x10 is more than often enough for pubs, clubs and most festivals. I use the 4x10's on seperate channels of the amp - it is cookin' loud...but perfectly right for my 3 note sound system style bass belly pumpin vibe - i like to feel it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, bridged mode works lovely. 1350w into my SVT610. Extremely, extremely loud if required. Its never been above 1 in the house for fear of destroying my terraced street entirely in a domino effect disaster. Sometimes my internal organs stop working if I stand too close to it at a gig, but thats half the fun. In fact, at my last gig, I quote this text from a friend [quote][i]AAAAAAGHHHH the stag bass is making my pants disintegrate[/i][/quote] obbm can sort you out with a cable should you not have one... his cables are proper thick as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauBass Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I use my SVT 4 Pro Monobridged into a Bengantino NV610 and couldn't be happier! In my opinion the 4 Pro is a great amp despite of what many people have said about them...I had one sold it, tried a few different brands and went back Ampeg so this is my second one and I'm not changing it for anything. The cable, as others have said, is dead simple to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basshead56 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I use mine with a 610HLF- AMAZING!!!! You could probably pick one up for around 600-700 on here or the bay. I've lost two of those cables so far-they can be easily made up (using better cable even) in mere minutes. Enjoy man, they are big, bad and very beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
