MrNylon Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Today I changed out the Hartke HA5500 head, and the Hartke VX410 cab, for the Fender Bassman 500 head, and the Ampeg Heritage SVT-410HLF cab. The Fender Bassman 500, 500 watts, 4 ohms head, sounds great going through it. The Ampeg is a 500 watts RMS, 4 ohm cab. It peaks out at 1,000 watts. I like being able to get the full 500 watts out of one 4 ohm cab, instead of having to use two 8 ohm cabs for the same results. I sure like the US Eminence 125 watts, 410 speakers in it also. it really has a great low frequency response too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon S. Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Congrats! One of my favorite bass rigs was my old Ampeg V-4 bass head with an Ampeg 410 cab. Tons of punch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvinator Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It showed up today. Â Â Nothing sounds like a tube head. Fender has come a long way with their bass amps over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Nothing sounds like a tube head. Fender has come a long way with their bass amps over the years. Â It's actually a Class D Hybrid SS. It does have 2 x 12AX7 preamp tubes. It powers the Ampeg really well. The Fretless Jazz does sound good through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 I did make two changes to the settings on the Overdrive Channel. I raised the Gain, and Blend up one number, from 5 to 6 on both, and the Bass Deep pull is pulled out. It adds quite a bit to the overall sound.

MrNylon Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 The SG Std. sounds amazing through this amp setup. It Roars. It has the real Gibson Bass sound to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
