The Bassman 500 runs great through Ampeg. The 2X12 setup has a better low end, and is a 4 ohm, 600 watt cab.

I thought this setup sounded good before, but now with playing my SG Std. through it, it really has a sound that doesn't quit.

The SG Std. did ok with a Fender Bassman 500, but not as good as with the Ampeg V-4B. It's tough to beat a tube bass head.

I know what your saying. In 49 Years of playing the bass, this is my first Ampeg tube head I've ever had. I've had a Traynor head in 1969-1970. A couple of Fender Bassman heads along the way. But this V-4B Ampeg kicks the rest for overall tone quality. A good friend of mine in about 1970, had an Acoustic 360/361. That was a Monster on stage, or in the studio. How are you using your Acoustic B100 ?

That Ampeg looks sweet. I would like to get an Ampeg tube head someday. Right now I have an Ampeg PF-800 head and a PF-115HE cab that I've been happy with. I can only imagine how much better that tube head sounds.

The Ampeg tube heads are for real old school 60's Hard, and Heavy, ROCK & ROLL!

Been playin more bass lately. Want to get a real amp. I think I am going for a Bassman or Bassman clone.

 

That's of course your call, but I've had them, and dropped them for the Ampeg Tube Head.

Sounds like the perfect match for me. :P

It really is a monster of a head for 100 watts. The tube head has more power output than a 100 watt SS.

The SG Std. with the Ampeg half stack. This Ampeg has the sound I've been looking for to match up with the SG Std. The Ampeg V-4B / SVT-212AV.

I'm still in awe with the sounds of the SG Std., and the Ampeg half stack. Is anyone else using an Ampeg with a Gibson bass?

Fender Basses can do that. Nice looking Jazz. [thumbup]
