Well, I suppose that can happen. As much as I wanted the 18" speaker to work out, I had issues because of the various rooms I played it in. I know you've always had a preference for 12" speakers, anyhow. Maybe those would be best for you.


I really don't think it's not by mistake that I've gone back to a 212 cab, after starting out with them, and had done well with them in the past. The 15" is just a bit too large for the room I'm playing in. You on the other hand, have a better chance of performing in larger rooms, outdoors, etc. 15's Can be viable for you.

I also just like the SB with 12's. I would like to do a V-4B with the SVT-212AV, but I trust the Auto - Bias System on a Fender tube head too much to go back to the Ampeg head.

Yeah, I could get away with that 15" speaker, as far as I know. I did use them for years, in Florida. In fact, this is the first time I had ever ran a 4 x 10" cab, other than playing through those Hartke ones in NYC. I did use 2 x 10" cabs, but those were always paired with something else, like a 15" speaker, or more recently, the 18" speaker.

By the way, I just remembered I still have the raw, 4 ohm 18" speaker that originally came with the Carvin cab in a box. I still got the badges, too. I forgot to screw them back on the cabs before I got rid of them. I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do with the 18" speaker, though. I guess hold on to it for a rainy day, or maybe try to sell it. I suppose it would be good for someone that needs a 4 ohm replacement speaker, and Carvin quit making them. I probably wouldn't be able to get much for it, though.

I think the Super Bassman should pair up nicely with the Ampeg 2 x 12" cab. It certainly can handle the power, should you choose to crank it. Was the 15" too boomy in the room? Was that the issue?

The 15 was way to boomy for this room, just not enough air space to displace it.

I got my V-4B back, and returned the SB. I don't need the 300 Watts, and the tube bias, I don't think will be a concern for the little I play it.

You know, you just wanted to match up with your cab, too. :P Is this the same one you had previously?

The head is the one I previously had, and I think the cab was mine also from a while ago. At some time, I was thinking about getting another PF-500 as a back up for the V-4B, just in case the V-4B has a tube issue. But that would probably be closer to the end of the year. I don't fire up the V-4B enough to hurry that. I had the PF-500 last July in 2018.

I remember you actually having a PF-500 at one point. How was that one, anyway? The reason I went ahead with the PF-800, besides the fact I got one cheap, was it was similar to the Orange in terms of power, and I didn't feel like I was giving up anything, although I'm sure the 500 watts would have been enough for me. As it is, I'm just running 400 watts with the one 8 ohm cab.

I had a cash flow problem at the time, and the PF-500 was the way to get some fast bucks. I did like the PF-500 though. If I do decide later on in the year to reacquire one, I can get the full 500 Watts out of it with the 4 ohm cab. Plus have a 100 Watts of room there. That's what has been a bit of a plus for me using a 4 ohm cab. As long as Wattage, and ohms fit using one cab, in place of two.

That's true, you do have a good match up with your cab, for either one of those amps.

If there is any true brand matching up, I would think Ampegs would work. And I would say the same for Fender, etc.

So, do you think you'll eventually wind up getting a PF-500 as a backup amp?

Maybe closer to the end of the year, on doing a PF-500. I'm surely in no hurry to acquire one, but to me anyway, it makes sense. That's scary, right? Image

It's hard to say, since usually when you mention getting something, you'll wind up getting it within the next 48 hours. I wish I could do that, but then again, that might get me into trouble. :P

I know what you're saying about my 48 hours, and SCHWING,........ I have it. No, this is a more of a sit back, and see if it's really needed. Unless something unforeseen should come up with the V-4B, Then I guess I'd do a PF-500.

Yeah, I suppose it's not something that's urgent. Speaking of Ampeg, I've been thinking about eventually (not even sure if I even will be able to, or should even bother) getting an Ampeg cab instead of the Fender. I don't know if it's even worth messing with, since the Fender is a good cab. I guess it would be cool to have a cab to match the head, but I suppose that's an aesthetic and not one of any sonic advantage, or is it? You've had both Fender and Ampeg cabs (although, you've had the higher end Fender cabs, and I have a Rumble variant,) would you say there was much of a difference between the two? I guess they both are loaded with Eminence speakers, but I don't know if they are the same models.

I do like the Ampeg / Ampeg. I prefer the Ampeg cabs. A player I see at times at SA has been the gamut with heads, and cabs also. He has gone totally Ampeg. He plays a lot of live music. I can't really compare a Fender 410, to an Ampeg 212 cab. Just not the same. I can see what appears to be a trend of players of making the move to Ampeg cabs, because of the 12" speakers. Construction wise, Ampeg, and Fender are similar, I like the Ampeg obviously. Honestly it bugs me about a magnetic strip on the top of any cab that an electronic amp head is mounted on top of. But that's just me.
The electronics core of the Amp, and cab is more of a match within the brand. My opinion for most combinations. Here again, just my opinion on it. It does make sense though. Ampeg electronic designs are Ampeg, just as Fender electronic designs are Fender. As I've been playing the three basses through the Ampeg, I like the sounds I'm getting. But then again, the SVT-212AV is different than 10" speakers in a cab.
