    Non-Master Volume Amps

    Hi All. First post from bass-newbie. I'm a middle-aged novice guitar player. Five years learning, garage band, weekly jam/practice, only "playing out" 1-2 times per year for family/friends gatherings. The last couple of years I've had to fill in on bass occasionally, so I'm trying to...

    Powerful and Loud Heads for a Grand or Less

    I've got a Sunn Coliseum 300 that I run out of an Ampeg 808 (I've also played it through 6x10s and 8x10s) that I dig, but I'm looking for something that can push more volume. Unfortunately most 300 watt tube heads are out of my price range so I was wondering if there were any other good secret...

    Power Amps

    Its been a while since I've been down this road and would like some opinions on whats out there. Going to run my DHA VT1 EQ in to a power amp then an Ashdown ABM 610. So, do i look at the class D stuff - is it any good, reliable, bottom end all there? or is it still best to go the old heavy...

    The ethics of Kemper profiling amps

    I subscribe to Hennings YouTube channel, and he posted his thoughts on the Kemper amps and what's been happening with them. Long story short... People buy the Kemper. They then buy another, usually boutique amp online. They profile the sound into the Kemper, and then return the boutique amp to...

    Slaving 2 Combo Amps through the XLR Out!!

    Can I use the XLR Out on my 200watt Traynor SB112 and run it in to the input of a second SB 112 to get more volume? Or would I be better off with either the bigger SB 115? Or just get a more powerful rig? Just trying to figure out the most economical way to get enough volume for bar gigs and...

    Amps on wheels and sound.

    I'm scared to fit the castors to my cabs, because I feel like I'm plugging in 4 rattles. So many points at which to buzz. What's your experience?

    With all the new lightweight amps, where are the tubes?

    As bass players we all know guitar players who swear by their tube amps and would never think of using only solid state amps. Many of us have owned these all-tube bass amps before, and the difference is undeniable. However, tube amps are heavy, and can be somewhat unreliable. On top of that...

    Ampeg Speaker Replacement

    So I have a Ampeg Ba-210 v2 Ampeg: Bass Amp Series - BA-210 and i love the amp but iv had an issue with one of the speakers distorting massively at higher volumes, i believe this is because the speaker itself is broken and the cone is slightly to large for the housing creating friction as the...
