Members tenyearsgone Posted March 5, 2007 Members Share Posted March 5, 2007 do you like it? i have an opportunity to pick one up for pretty cheap, mint condition locally, and was thinking of selling off the PR-410HLF i have and replace it with the SVT410HLF. i'll never put the watts into the PR to really make it sing, so the SVT seems better suited as it doesnt seem like the power hungry beast that the PR is.. opinions on the SVT410HLF?

Members AntiStuff Posted March 5, 2007 Members Share Posted March 5, 2007 I love mine to death. I run a Peavey Mk. IV into it, which is only 210RMS. It sounds great. It sounds good even using my 5 Watt Epiphone Valve Jr. head. Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tenyearsgone Posted March 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 5, 2007 2manband just picked one up pretty cheap.

Members musicjunky Posted March 5, 2007 Members Share Posted March 5, 2007 i had one for one practice and one show. It was great in practice, played all the low notes beautifully and was really clear. but at the show it wasn't loud enough. No PA support, and we do a lot of shows like that, and outdoor stuff too so i traded mine in and upgraded to a 810. but the 410 was a great cab if you aren't doing real loud stuff, or have PA support.

Members dogman Posted March 5, 2007 Members Share Posted March 5, 2007 though I dont have an SVT410HLF I do have the SVT 610HLF and it is a great cab! If the 410 is anywhere near as good, it should be a great one to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rikshaw Posted March 5, 2007 Members Share Posted March 5, 2007 i have one and its fantastic! the only thing that i don't like about it is that its too short to comfortably wheel behind you for any distance. i think that the 610 would be much better for this reason.

I can't imagine what you were playing that a 410HLF wasn't loud enough. What kind of head were you running into it? I have two (not because one isn't loud enough, but because I got a killer deal on a second one). Running my B4R into it will knock down walls. It is a boomy cab compared to the non-ported 410, so take that into account. You may want to put it on casters or a platform to take some of the boom out of it.

Members cavy Posted March 5, 2007 Members Share Posted March 5, 2007 Is the 410HLF the one designed by Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey? Are you going to get rid of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Manbearpig2 Posted March 6, 2007 Members Share Posted March 6, 2007 I had one, and liked it a bunch. I've also had their CL410HE and a PR410HE For the money I don't think you can beat the Cl series cabs by Ampeg. Some of their 410s are set up sort of funny so that there's a lot of pressure put on the first 10 and if it goes, it shuts down the rest of the cab, but not all are wired that way. I traded mine for an Eden D410XLT that I like a whole lot better, but again, for the money, they tend to be very nice and road worthy cabs.

I knew it wasn't my amp since i had borrowed an 810 for the shows during the previous weekend and it had no problem. my amp is a Trace Elliot AH350SMX.

Members Manbearpig2 Posted March 6, 2007 Members Share Posted March 6, 2007 Incidentally, someone metioned the cabs that Bailey and Wooten designed. There were several odd configurations, none of which did well, but I still have one of the best of those, the Isovent which is 2 15s in a push/pull clamshell configuration and 2 10s. It is set up for straight use, or bi-amping and was the motivation for buying my Eden WT800. Great cab, if you ever see one of these, grab it.

Members qmel4 Posted March 6, 2007 Members Share Posted March 6, 2007 I JUST RETURNED A SVT410HLF TO AMS. I'M SURE MY SVT 4 PRO WAS TOO POWERFUL FOR THE CAB. A LOCAL SALESMAN ADVISED THAT THE PRO HLF IS A BETTER MATCH FOR MY AMP. WHAT DO YOUTHINK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tylytle Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 I have one. I love it. It can get a little boomy. But it is very powerful, will handle about anything you throw at it. I set mine on a small stand and never have a booming issue anymore. Very punchy. I power it with one side of a Peavey Kilobass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoulderBassist Posted September 19, 2008 Members Share Posted September 19, 2008 I have the 410HLF with a Pro6 head and it's awesome. built like a tank lows like a folded horn 18. could bring tile up off the floor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members browndog021 Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 I have one and it sounds great. I notice it is a bit boomy so I am going to build a stand for it as soon as get time to try to solve thet problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eric.chambers Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 I have one that I use with the SVT-CL head. Great sounding cab. has no problem handling the SVT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ender_rpm Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 I had one, and it was too indistinct for me. Was using an SVT 3 Pro at the time, and was pretty new to bass, so half of the issue was probably me I have an avatar NEO 410 now, and I love it. The HLF is a beast to move, while the the Avatar gets about 90% of the low end, but at half the weight and twice (IIRC the HLF was 500 watts) the power handling.
