phil moore Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hi everyone, just joined the forum. I play double bass and fretless electric. On my string bass I use a headway edb-1 pre amp with a variety of pick ups and this works well for me. I have a couple of string basses both ply. i restored both of these from various states of disrepair, having to remove the top on one of them as it had been standing with the sound post down for a number of years and the tension left in the strings had pushed the top in. Went back together well however and plays fine. Lucky to be playing regularly and really enjoying myself doing so playing jazz and country blues locally. Looking forward to getting into discussions about this very enjoyable pass time. Happy new year everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba The Hutt Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi there Folks :-) I've just joined bass chat as I am bass mad and need some advice please regarding a new bass head... I currently use a PF500 Ampeg running through an Ampeg SVT410HLF cab (at the time I couldn't spend any more on a bass head :-)). The sound was OK (I knew it wouldn't sound as sweet as an SVT) & some time ago I decided to upgrade it to an SVT7-Pro head which I thought (& read) would be a much better head and much better suited to this cab. I was therefore really suprised and dissapointed because it actually sounded bloody awful - really distorted, woolly, and not clean at all with sensble "flat" settings. It was even worse with my Peavey Cirrus, which normally sounds great through most amps. There was no real clarity in the sound (no bass / boxy sound..) so I sent this head back for credit (I'm really gutted because I'd heard so many good things about the SVT7-Pro). I wanted to ask you folks... Do you think this head was faulty as I expected so much more. It was a REV-C00 version if that makes any difference?? :-( I'm now not sure whether to have another crack at a replacement SVT7-Pro or look elsewhere?? My budget is only about £650-£700. Please can i have some advice / suggestions.... Would an RH450 be an decent option for an SVT410-HLF cab?? Regarding basses, I play an Overwater Perception 5 / Peavey Cirrus USA and a heavily bastardised Precision. Thanks for your advice.... Jabba..
