bassdrummer Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Any word on this combo ? At 95 pounds it's a heavy beast. 350 watts at 4 ohms, 500 with extension cabinet. 2x10 with tweeter. I just found it on Musician's Friend's website. They're selling it for $1049.

Russfingers Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I played it with a 18' Ampeg ext cab.Didn't like it Didn't seem powerful enough for what it is.Heavy,Heavy thing.PLayed by itself,not impressed.(IMHO)Wat too expensive for what it does.SWR has a new 2x10 and Peavy w/ amp modeling.

getz out Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 That's a lot of scratch. I still say check the used market. For $1,000 you can get a killer rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc taz Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Just going through Musician's friend: -Ampeg B-2R Rack Head. runs at 350W @ 4 ohms. $549.99 -Peavey 410 TVX Bass Speaker Cabinet 4 ohm $489.99 $1,039.98 I tried this amp once at GC im Manhattan with an Ampeg 410HLF cab, and a Spector 5 string, one of the Korean models. Seemed solid, and gave a nice, slight, breakup when cranked. The low end didn't seem too boomy or muddy. Mids and highs were just right. Definitely a good, rockin' compact rig that could handle any gig. I think the B-2R has a direct out of some sort, so for bigger stages, you're set. sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassdrummer Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 Thanks for the input guys. I hear you on the used market thing, getz76. I'm really happy with the used Yorkville XM50 I just got for $185 shipped. Still debating on whether to get a traditional bass head/cab, high powered combo, or power amp/cab (Acme . . .) For a long time I've been thinking about the Yorkville XM200 combos. Might be all I need. My only bass gig right now, actually, is playing at my church; my XM50 is working out perfectly for that. What I probably ought to do is just keep saving up till I actually NEED a big rig. Too bad I keep getting GAS . . . Drum stuff, maybe an acoustic guitar, recording stuff, etc, etc. "All the world's indeed a stage, and we are merely players..." --Rush, "Limelight" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
way2fat Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 If you get an XM200, I have a barely used XC115X extension cab. I'm interested in the XM50 for a practice amp. www.ethertonswitch.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassplayer5217 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 It is too similar to the BA210 SP in my opinion to spend the extra 400 bucks unless you need every extra feature it has (graphic eq and extra power for ext, primarily). Also, take a look at the SVT 350 specs and B2R specs. They look too similar to spend 100-150 bucks more on the former. The only diff. is that it looks like it would have tubes inside, but it doesn't! - Germain .~. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
