Re: Surf Bass (Amp)

DP,
I always seem to be talking to you...not intentional
of course, just that certain comments make me want to
go out of lurk mode.
I have to agree w/your comment about Ampeg SVT amps. I
have used, for about a decade, an Ampeg SVT-15T combo
with 15" EV speaker that despite being solid-state,
sounds *very* tube-y.
I played this at an *outdoor* gig with a concert band
a couple years ago and it sounded surprisingly clear.
The proof's in the pudding -- an MP3 of the mobile
recording of one of the songs is here:
Yeah, not "surf" I know, but we're talkin' gear. It's
a nice lil unit with built-in limiter and a line-out
that sound guys appreciate. Alas, it's no longer in
production, but the lil sucker still works and sounds
good....
Though I play a little guitar, too, I'd imagine we
bassists are outnumbered 4-to-1 on this list?

The Ampeg SVT is a nice sounding and powerful amp, but
it
weighs a ton. Ampeg makes several amps besides the
SVT, and
they sound real nice and round and full.
