Re: Ampeg SVT

Then there is also the solo to 'Reelin' in the Years:' "That was my ’63 Fender Stratocaster with a PAF humbucker in the neck position, straight into an Ampeg SVT bass amp. The SVT wouldn’t have been my first choice for an amp—or even my fifth choice—but that Strat is still my go-to guitar that I us...

Re: Selling amps on eBay; best practices?

Virtually all modern aircraft use VOR stations and Intertial Reference/Navigation Systems (IRS / INS) for navigation. Avionics are certified to DO-254 environmental standards which includes Electro-Mechanical Interference (EMI), HIRF and other gremlins. Ron I was gonna mention the same thing. I was...

Re: Ampeg SVT

I used to have a '76 SVT. It was a good bass amp. It was a poor guitar amp. If you want LOUD CLEAN's...go look for an Acoustic 370!!! Should be <$350 on ebay/craigslist...solidstate but great. I still have the one I got in HighSchool. Sounds as good as the SVT (different, but every bit as good, more...

Actually, I'm doing a 4x12. Probably X with 2 CRex's and the other two haven't been decided.

Thanks for the replies.

Re: What speakers do you use with your Trainwreck Express?

GeetarPicker, if you'd be willing, I'd love to ask you a couple of questions. If you had to choose modern speakers (4x12) for your amps, what would you choose? Would you stick with a single type of driver, or would you split multiple speakers to a "top/bottom" or "X style" cab? How would you go abou...

Re: which is better for lower volume cleans, Express or Liverpul

I've got a Ceriatone Liverpool, and the problem is that where it sounds great, it has to be loud. If you only want clean tones, maybe a different amp is the solution? I use mine even at gigs with the speaker turned to the wall :) +1 In my rehearsal space, I keep my speaker facing the wall about 8-1...

Re: first post, question about speaker for express

You could go half and half...

Then either enjoy the combination, or buy the ones you like more. (selling the "sale" ones for funding)

I don't like V30's too much either but the combination of them with greenbacks is a favorite of many.

Re: Ceriatone Expression

I have played my Wreck fully cranked with another guitarist that had a 50 watt plexi full cranked. It held its own rather nicely. What is the difference between seeming loud and being loud. If you can hear over something, doesn't that make it louder? Or am I confused? I think there are several fact...
