Ampeg Portaflex Cabinets

I've just been checking one of these (unfortunately unplugged as the storm meant Soundslive had to shut).

I must say, these looking VERY well built. Everyone knows I am a stickler for QC and aesthetics, and these cabs look stunning.

Fantastic covering, big chrome Ampeg badge, excellent grille cloth. Apparently they aren't that heavy.

If the PF500 was more reliable, id pick up a nice combo like this.

Super good prices as well. If you think about it, most people want a combo for small gigs or for at home, so probably not much point spending a massive amound unless you are into the whole jazz/blues thing and never need a louder rig.

The Markbass 121P is about £800, the PF 115 + PF500 is about £650...and will be louder and probably have a nicer high end as it hasnt got that horrible piezo.

They are great sounding cabs. I used the 210 when I bought my PF500, and was really impressed. I`d go as far to say that was the best I ever heard the PF, and I`ve put it through many different combinations, including an Ampeg SVT410HE.

I've been using a PF500 and PF115 for a while now, and so far I've been very happy with them. I just use the combo for upright gigs and add a BFM 10.5 for rock gigs with an electric bass, and the rig has sounded great and always kept up easily. Never had a hint of the amp crapping out like some folks on here have, but I'm always running mine into the PF115 anyway (if that has anything to do with it)
