    solid state player auditioning w/ band's ampeg tube gear

    So. I have an audition Sunday with a new band. They want me to just bring out my bass, as they have a rig in the practice area. Fine by me. It's (unspecified) Ampeg gear. I have an inkling that it's a 610 or 810. Now, I'm generally team solid state. Is it as good as tube gear? That's a...

    NCD - 1966 Fender "Solid State" Bass Cab

    NCD - 1966 Fender "SOLID STATE" 3x12 Bassman Cab

    This is one of those odd and somewhat rare cabs that CBS introduced labeled "SOLID STATE" and paired with the first solid state amps manufactured by Fender with the popular rig names at that time. This is one of the early cabs at the beginning of the manufacturing time with speakers dated...

    Acoustic 370 Clone Amp?

    I have searched and searched and have not found anyone who has cloned an Acoustic 370 amplifier. I would love to have the exact amp circuit built in a "micro-amp" configuration with a DI added on so I can have 370 goodness coming from my cab and through a DI (in case I want to run without a cab)...

    Solid State vs Ampeg SVT

    What does a SVT Classic give you that a SVT pro can't? Why bother with tubes when so many players use solid state. How do Sansamps compare? I don't mean to be a jerk, just curious.

    SVT CL to Sunn Coliseum 300 - Considering going solid state

    Currently running 2 Ampegs for my live rig: V4BH into 8x10 and SVT CL into Acoustic 408 (2 ohms). Last night at practice the SVT CL lost a tube and the V4BH volume was low. I had that thing cranked just to sort of hear the bass. Long story short, I've got to take both tube heads in...

    AMPEG solid state issues

    Good day children of thunder. I would like to start a disscusion on the AMPEG solid state line of amps. SVT's BA's PF's B series and any other's I may have neglected to mention. They are based on the ON SEMI p240 and p9240 FET's from what I can tell. I have had 4 of them burn up on me, SVT-3...

    Would a Yamaha B100 solid state 250W amp be worth 43$?

    That's about my question. Will an old Yamaha solid state B100 250W amp be worth the trouble for 43$? I got an offer to buy one. How do they sound? Something tells me it is not the best amp, but at that price I guess it is hard to complain.

    Solid State to Tube Amp Conversion

    Hi TalkBass, I've got a solid state guitar combo that I want to turn into tube, and I normally use this forum for bass stuff but it should be generally the same in principle. Most forum sites say "save your money and just go buy a tube amp," but that's not helpful. Given the circumstances money...

    Loudest vintage solid state heads.

    I found a few older threads that touch on this, but which ones are the loudest/most powerful? I know there are a lot of modern 1000w+ heads, but I'm looking for the older vintage stuff... I had a Sunn Coliseum (the 2nd version...?) a few years ago and I loved the tone, but I had to run at it 2...

    Are traditional class A/B solid state amps doomed?

    Hi. First time poster. I'm a guitarist who is interested in bass amps, as I'd like to get one for my home studio for practice so my friends who play bass don't have to haul stuff to my place & up the stairs - all the time. (I already have a nice drum kit for same reason. It's great.)...

    Old stereo console score

    My wife's aunt and uncle are moving to an assisted living facility. They asked if I wanted an old console radio. They've been using it for a TV stand for a very long time. I stopped and looked at it today. It's a '60's/70's General Electric AM/FM Stereo/Turntable. It's solid state with 2x12''...

    Ampeg V4B or compact solid state amp?

    I'm thinking about getting a new amp to lessen the load I've gotta carry into gigs. Right now I'm rolling with an SWR SM-400 w/Goliath 4x10 and Peavey Firebass 700 II w/matching peavey Tour 4x10 (heavy as hell). These rigs are great but pretty goddam heavy and I keep seeing more and more...

    Looking for a good solid state amp head for a noise/drone band

    So I had my sights set on the Sunn 1200s because of the tone shaping options it seemed to have (and the fact that it was a Sunn amp) but I can't find any that I can really afford. The only I did find was one that was messed up. The seller claimed that it always hand an "enveloping fuzz sound"...

    Do you play Bass through a solid state or valve?

    I have read a lot of STRONG opinions about how much valve amps rock and solid state amps suck on guitar forums, although I use a solid state for both and I like them, and if anyone thinks my amps suck, that's their problem :P When it comes to bass players in general, is there a consensus among...

    Drop in volume from solid state head.

    I have a Behringer BXD3000H amp head. For the last month, it's been randomly failing me, and now it's gotten to the point where it is no longer usable. Upon first startup, it works fine. After a random period of time at rehearsal, I will suddenly not be able to hear myself. I check it out with...

    Tips on Inspecting a Solid State Amp

    Hey guys. There's a pretty sweet SS guitar amp from the 70's that I'm looking at buying, but I'm not sure what condition it's in on the inside. Its being sold for cheap enough and in the middle of nowhere enough that I don't want to hire a professional to drive out and inspect it. What are some...
