WHY MY CABNET CAN BEAT UP YOUR CABNIT
Quality:
Quality control is really the only thing that any company has. After 135 shows and two tours, mine have never let me down. From the studio to the stage, I have recorded and toured with nothing but Ampeg for only two reasons, Tone and Dependability. In the end there really isn't anything else.
Features:
It is a strait forward cab with all the features you need to be able to rock out and knock dead the audience with the wall of sound low end that every bass players wants. All of this comes with a price. Its Heavy! 140 lbs, not the portable easy to move combo amp that you just throw in the back seat of your Honda Civic. I tour with two of these and it take time and a strong back to get them to stage.... But it is worth it. Plug one in and you will change your mind about the weight.
Sound:
Pure ROCK. While I have known a ton of guys that use these for country, pop punk, and jazz, to me it seems a waste but to each his own. This is a cab meant for laying down the low end and competing with the largest stacks of guitars that can be thrown at you. From Mudvayne, Alice in Chains, Rage Against the Machine, to The Saints of Pain, and just about every other band that kicks xxxx in the bass department uses one of these. Turn on a record that you have loved the bass sound on in the last 30 years and you are really hearing one of these.
Playability and Feel:
It is a set it and forget it item. I have my personal sound dialed in for this cab, and when I play clubs with aback line with it,,,, it is a personal sigh of relief. No worries about if it will be a good sound night or not. Everything will take care of it self with the might of AMPEG behind you.
Tone:
Dark, and growly with more xxxx then any cab made. You can go from crushing lows to smooth highs with out one worry about " Will this cabinet handle the changes?" Two albums, Two tours, and 130 shows, can't be wrong, this cab has seen every stage condition imaginable, and it rocked them all!
Finish:
It is a solum tower of black with a matte finish that has a take no prisoners look. Working on every stage setting imaginable, the look is burned into your brain as the look of your favorite guitar. With that being said, there is a complaint to be made about Ampeg it is that they are still using Tolex and acoustic sounding fabric. Both being equally easy to burn, and scratch. Your grandmother incased her beloved couch in plastic armor then you should be smart enough to buy a live in case.
Action:
Crack open the refrigerator size packing carton, plug in your head and favorite bass (thunderbirds my personal fave) turn down the light, strike a rock pose that makes you look like GOD because you are going to be THOR, GOD OF THUNDER. There will be very little dialing but you are going from silence to having to explain to the cops how every bobble on your neighbor curio cabinet got on the floor in one open E.

1/3 Of the perfect bass rig
Quality:
Again, this thing is sturdy. It's one of the few cabs you'll see still gigging in twenty years and still sounding amazing. The band I played in for a while had one of these that was about ten years old and sounded amazing. I had to buy one for myself. And mine has treated me just as well(although I've only had it for a few months)
Features:
I love that you can run the bottom four and top four speakers independantly. It has saved me so much trouble being able to go from small places running it as a 4x10(protip:use the top four to carry the sound a little farther) to the bigger badder places running it as it was meant to be.
Sound:
This baby is loud and proud. I run an Ampeg SVT-4 Pro to it and it is simply perfect.
Tone:
I play a little bit of everything. I'm mainly a metal head, but I also constantly play jazz, classical, blues, and classic rock and every tone I throw at it with my SVT-4 is mind blowing.
Finish:
This cabinet looks amazing right out of the box. The tolex rips pretty easily when heavily gigged on, but you'll only damage the beauty, not the beast. This thing is sturdy.
