Members 2manband Posted January 22, 2007 Members Share Posted January 22, 2007 That looks sweet - for another $100, the 1200W 310 is pretty appealing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted January 22, 2007 Members Share Posted January 22, 2007 Oh what the heck---I'd hit it, especially at that price.100+ lbs is a bit daunting, tho'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spiced Melange' Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 Any of you fellows played thru the 2x10 combo?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mobass Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 Do you think the 210 combo would be enough to gig with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1tallbassguy Posted January 25, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 Do you think the 210 combo would be enough to gig with? Depends on what your needs are. For my band it would be. We play with little stage volume and rely on our PA to get the sound to the house. We also use in-ear monitors to hear with. I've been using a 1x15 cab for most of our gigs lately, and it does the job fine. If you rely on your stage rig for all you're going to need and you compete with a 4x12 Marshall stack at mid to max volume, I would say no way a 2x10 is enough. Kustom, Ampeg Genz, Eden, makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Marthoyink Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 Is it really 600-watt? I want to know if it can really push 600 watts out of the speaker. If it can get at least about 400 watts out then it's worth the money seeing as it's only $400 (compared to other amps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ammiller91 Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 I just bought a 120 wat amp for $320. It is a drive B120. You should definetely look into the drives. They make bigger amps for cheap. You cant find them on musiciansfriend, so go to your local guitar shop and see what they can get u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 Those big Kustoms do put out some power, but they lack a little in tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1tallbassguy Posted January 26, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 Those big Kustoms do put out some power, but they lack a little in tone. That is a fair opinion. I would agree. It is a bit sterile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Smokinfiddler Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 Any of you fellows played thru the 2x10 combo?? ya I have one and it is a good amp I just sent back a Yamaha Head that I bought last week to get another one of the 2x10 combos.

I'm sure there are good tones in there, but really you can't expect everything for an amp at that price new, especially with those ratings! They sound as good as Peavey's TNT, to me.

Members lownote Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 Yes id does, plus it has the tilt-back handle with built in casters . . . good thing too, at 138 lbs, even the burliest of roadies would fear that one. but with the casters & spring loaded handles, they can roll it right up the ramp into the waiting semi-trailer & off to the next stadium . . . ps. does anyone else miss their signiture metallic vinyl tuck & roll cabinets & heads?

I want one.C7 I Dunno, some kind of watt meter i guess:confused: that is why I called it a thingy:thu: all I know is that I have known him a long time And he is an amp geek And he told me that the AMP does indeed put out 600 watts of power And if he said it puts out 600 amps i can trust what he saysbecause he knows his craft very well.

Maybe he put a clamp on current meter on the power cord and then did a P=IE calculation based on 120 volts. I seriously doubt he has the correct equpiment required to accurately measure power output.
