sPiKi Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Hi there I have been using the Ampeg SVT200T for some years now & it has proven to be a really reliable amp. However, recently it just doesn't seem to be delivering the volume I need. I am playing a Amer Std Jazz & SR4 HH through a Tech 21 VT & 410HLF. The tone I have is really really good but volume wise, just not satisfying me. I am gigging every week in a covers band, playing venues from 150-500 people. Band is full mic'd every night but I like to feel the bass behind me iykwim. I saw that review on YT of the Bass Terror & thought that tone was sweet. Anyway, would this be a good move? Price & size/weight is very attractive. Can't really afford to break the bank on this one. I have tried my mates V4BH for a couple of gigs & it did sound superior to my amp but just can't afford an all tube atm. So, any advice or recommendations or caution on the Bass Terror? I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance Edited June 25, 2010 by sPiKi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 The Bass Terror is damn loud. If you like your tone quite dirty its even louder because of the gain. I very much imagine it will sound huge through that cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking at the Ag500SC but can't find any sound clips & I don't know of any dealers here in N.Ireland who stock them. Thinking of selling my Stingray to fund the right amp. Great guitar but just prefer my Jazz when playing live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
