Chimike Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Continuing my Bass cull, I'm selling my Ampeg 8 x 6 bass cab, Great if you're doing pub sized gigs, and don't want to lug your huge Ampeg 8 x 10 in there ! Cab is 4 ohms, and can be used with, or without it's tweeter. It's on wheels, and has a top handle, so, although not light, is easy to move around, and goes through doorways easily . It's also an ideal cab if you double on guitar, great guitar sound. Cab is in lightly used condition, couple of small marks, and is £245 collected west Sussex Now, I won't use carriers, so cab is for collection, however, I do sometimes travel with my work, and am willing to help with delivery for the cost of the diesel where I can.

Chimike Posted September 27, 2010 Author Posted September 27, 2010 [quote name='algmusic' post='969383' date='Sep 27 2010, 12:44 PM']what is the handling?[/quote] Thanks for asking, I've edited the header to the correct cab designation, SVT 806HE and added the 400 watts note. The speakers are actually 6.5 inches in dameter.

Prime_BASS Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 I'm more than interested, but I live in Nottingham and I am a bum student so don't drive.
waynepunkdude Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I often look at this thread, it's a tempting little cab.

Perhaps you've tamed it? Wayne PD, the Bass Whisperer..... C

FWIW..I need a 6x10... but have been thinking about getting a Aguilar 115 and 2x10 as that would still fit in my car... and do the same sort of job... Expensive for a secondary backup rig though, just for me. sorry for the hijack..but it is a bump
drewk_ie Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Have a free bump, used to own one of these, fantastic cab at a fantastic price...
Bankai Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 I was considering a 6x10. How does it compare size wise? (and sound I suppose)
Chimike Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 Can't really help you there, never played a 6 x 10, but wouldn't imagine there are many similarities, different animals. ( note the " hard -sell " tactics , here .....................not.)
oldslapper Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Hi, How would you say they handle low frequencies and high volume. best coupled with a 1x15 perhaps? I'm getting a bit retro past day or 2 and fancy something Amp-eggy. Not that far from you either or a pick up/meet. John
Chimike Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 Best thing to do ,is come and try it. Probably better coupled with a 15, but not absolutely sure. I don't belt my gear, to find out how loud it will go, so no expert. Easy for me to set it up for trial, but remember, it's 4 ohms. I do have amps that run at 2 ohms, and I also have a Trace elliot 2 x 250 (real ) watts RA500 power amp, that I used to use when I was bi-amping, usually out-of doors , so, plenty of options to try. BTW, I'm really into retro bass gear, it's a sickness of mine ! My guess is that Ampeg built this as a smaller version of the 8 x 10 , to be used in more normal sized venues, rather than Stadiums. Just a guess !
oldslapper Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Thanks. I've got an oldish peavey T max that runs at 2 ohm, I just fancied taking it out now and again for the odd outdoor gig. I've been using compact lightweight Markbass gear for a few years now and, sometimes, I bizarrely hanker for a big heavy rig behind me....stupid I know.
