Amazing sound and value.
This is a wonderful looking and sounding bass. The bass has a beautiful well rounded clean tone with excellent clarity. The pickups sound amazing on this bass and there is a lot of versatility in the EQ to get a wide variety of tones for all genres. The neck-thru design provides a beautiful resonance to the notes. I have not compared it to the USA made version (not BXP) of this bass, however, I would suspect the main difference in performance would be cheaper hardware on the BXP series. These are no longer in production. but if you can find one at a reasonable price, I highly recommend scooping it up. You won't regret it!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
For me, I typically keep the bass, mid, treble and pickup blend knob in the middle. There is lots of versatility in the active EQ on this bass, however, the middle setting seems to work great for me and I have had lots of compliments on my tone when using this bass.
Ampeg SVT-810E 8x10 Bass Cabinet
Avg price: $1,260.15
Excellent sound, excellent value.
This amp is supposedly modelled after the Ampeg SVT-3 Pro head. It definitely is evident in the looks and controls, however, I have not compared the sound personally. That aside, it doesn't matter whether I compared it, because the sound is amazing and it is built sturdily. Lastly, for the price these go for, they provide excellent value. Highly recommended!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I gigged this bass for about 5 years fairly routinely with no issues. It was even stolen and possibly treated rough at one point (came back with scratch marks). However, I was able to get it back by providing the serial number to the police. It eventually turned up at a pawn shop and the police called me to come pick it up.
