[quote name='dood' post='847074' date='May 25 2010, 12:03 AM']Yes, you will be able to run the SVT 4 Pro bridged in to the 610. The bridged power amp, according to the manual is able to drive a 4 Ohm load @ 1200W 'continuous'. In reality, normal bass playing is not able to attain 'continuous' 1200W - The 610 cab will be able to handle 90% of situations - I have to say, having heard the BSE410 and the SVT610 - the 610 seems to sound twice as big, due to that extended bottom end - but - the two 410s are still moving more air, given the extra two speakers. So you could gain with one hand and lose with the other depending on what you want. I have to say, personally I would go for the 610. My mate Stag has one paired with the SVT 5 Pro and it's a beast![/quote] It's as I feared then... Just when my amp GAS seemed quenched! Dood, you are like a wise-learned devil sitting on my shoulder now, but I usually listen to them when it comes to gear anyway I do LOVE the sound of the two BSE cabs-they are HUGE sounding with the 4PRO , but I think I could still get that little bit more from the amp and the 610 seems to be the most practical option at the moment. I will certainly try and get in on it then I reckon, Cheers, Col

Traded my Ampeg B500dr and Phil Jones Briefcase for Drew's 1994 MM Stingray. I had dealt with Drew before here in Ireland, but this was the first time through Basschat and like before, I was not disappointed! The bass was exactly as described-fantastic! He even included the original reciept from when he bought it new! Great communications and very friendly, as ever. A great bloke and a Highly Recommended BC'er! Cheers Drew, Hope you enjoy the amps as much as I'm loving this 'ray! Col

[quote name='dood' post='845052' date='May 22 2010, 01:08 PM']IIRC you can 'MUTE' and switch the EQ in and out with the footswich can't you? In that case - pretty much any two button footswitch with a Stereo 6.3mm plug on the end. A Marshall 2 button switch will suffice - infact - on ebay there's a whole bunch of 'clone' switches available that you can get for under a tenner. Looks like this and are wired like this [/quote] thanks Dood, Actually have two of these (Marshall switches) lying around doing nothing, so will plug that in and check it out. One last thing, If I were to run the 4PRO mono bridged with the appropriate speakon cable, would an Ampeg SVT610hlf be able to handle it solo? I understand this feature is ideally intended to be used with the 810 cab, but just wondering if the 610 would cope well enough power-wise? At the moment I am running it in dual mono with a pair of Ampeg BSE410HLF´s-(one out of poweramp A and one out of B ) and it sounds pretty sweet, but a US built 610 (and road-cased) has popped up nearby and Im just wondering if it would be worth taking the punt? Cheers, Col

Hey guys, Just wondering if an SKB 44 case will fit a ray? they fit my J and P basses. Anyone know?

[quote name='garethox' post='843505' date='May 20 2010, 08:18 PM']Could you get away with just dropping the 'E' string to 'D'? If so, a good solution would be fitting a Hipshot detuner to your 'E'...... flick of a switch 'E' or 'D'.[/quote] +1

Just finished dealing withTim AKA Oggy and I have to say, I could not be happier with the deal! Tim bought my Fender Mustang and was a gentleman throughout the entire transaction. This was also my first time selling a bass on here and also my first international sale and because of how smooth it went with Tim, I would have no hesitation in doing so again. Thanks mate Aside from a rather pointlessly complex International Bank Transfer courtesy of Barclays, this was a breeze. Would gladly deal with Tim again and have no hesitation in recommending him to other BC´ers. He also plays a mean blues-bass!!! Goodluck mate , Cheers, Colin

Quick question with regard to the 4 PRO, what is the best footswitch for it?

[quote name='Stag' post='836077' date='May 13 2010, 12:39 PM']Cool! Be sure to post your findings with the 4 Pro when you`ve had time to give it a good run out! I gotta say, my 5 Pro and the SVT610 is basically the sound ive always wanted... id always GASsed since a kid for the SVT2 stack but the 5 Pro actually suits me a whole lot better.[/quote] Just got back from collecting the 4 PRO- Don't think I can wait to plug it in, but the neighbours will freak, So tomorrow afternoon will have to do- lucky I have a half day at work...

Wawick rig + MM Stingray = insane sounds! Mike McKeegan from Therapy? used a few Rays through a Warwick rig and it sounded killer. He still uses Warwick amps and now uses Warwick ChromeTones too. Serious gear! There is a Warwick Extreme 10 head and 411Pro (4x10) cabsx2 going nearby for the princely sum of €600!!! Now [url="http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=198921&cpage=2&perpage=15#comment-1677195"]THAT´s[/url] a bargain! If I had the cash and wasn´t up to my neck in Ampeg and Marshall gear, I would DEFINATELY be all over it! Back on topic, I reckon the Warwick rig wins out-go for it (it is a bargain)

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='840203' date='May 17 2010, 09:15 PM']Think it's a shortscale bass,so shortscale bass strings. Probably on fleabay[/quote] Yeah, its a squier shortscale. Sold my Fender Mustang before I´d ever had to change strings, so never knew where to get them. Again, don´t know anything about em

Any thoughts on whats best and where´s good to get em?
