Bigwan Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) [quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1451066436' post='2938113'] Used to power my Berg CN212 with the Tecamp Puma 900 and it worked fine. However I now use the Kustom KXB 500 and it sounds so much better. Guess big power is not everythimg [/quote] Any idea where one might find a Kustom KXB500 in the UK? Sorry for the derail!

Easily the best amp I have had the pleasure of using and as cheap as chips (€299) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanA Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 There is some nice gear in the classifieds at the moment, mark bass sd1200, GK mb800, little mark 800, any of those would sound great with the HD212. You could also pick up a PF 800 if you like the Ampeg tone, they are relatively inexpensive and very reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lushuk Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hi Ian, wasn't the pf800 also unreliable like the 7 pro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanA Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 No the pf500 was unreliable the 800 is ok. There are some threads on tb about it if you get bored🤓 Glad you still have the Hd, still loving it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I looked very seriously at an SVT 7 pro a while back, but decided not to spring for it after hearing a few horror stories. Shame really, because on paper it looks amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lushuk Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Paul it is a great head, stacks of power, great eq, svt sound of you want , useable compression, lightweight etc etc bit of course there is a big BUT, yes Ian still love I've looked at others and tried/borrowed different cabs but the HD keeps out performing, I've had guys with big ampeg stack looking at it and asking how does that sound come out of that which sums it up I guess, it looks weak on our gear laden stage but handles it with a breeze, I often wonder why anyone would buy anything else, but I guess you may agree with some of that 😃😃😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanA Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 If you are ok with the weight then keep it for sure, it will hammer out amazing tone at ridiculous volume all day long I think it is actually a nicer cab than the newer lighter CN212...

lushuk Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Ive heard a few people who have tried both say the same Ian, yep I'm ok with the weight the only thing id consider changing it for would be the NV610 Berg, but I'm not that stressed, need to sort a head out 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lushuk Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Well I've gone for the pf800 with 5 years warranty, fingers crossed it will keep me going for a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guinness21 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 JimmyM really rates the PF800, said it gets VERY close to the 7pro without all the issues. Hope the 2 of you are very happy together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lushuk Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yeah i read that, test day 2moro so fingers crossed, it was the 5 year warranty that clinched it, they do seem good value! Im going to fix my 7 pro with a new Rev H board so ill either sell it or keep it as a spare............. we shall see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lushuk Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Gear for music, 1 year + 4 years extended for £23 I thought that was a bargain, for the same total price Thomann offers 3year warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
