4x10 cab 500 watts into 8 ohms U.S. manufacturing
two inputs Speakon and jack inputs + 2 tweeter adjustment
wood, Tolex and coating quality (ampeg)
For my part, no wheels, live on the ground you feel better bass.
On stage, it is enhanced on a flight.

SOUNDS

before I had a 410 series VX Harkte (bof) with which I plugged in a head Ashdown ABM series of English manufacture and the sound was so so ...
when I plugged in ashdown head ampeg 410, it was the revelation (why I waited so lontemps??), an accurate in its all setup, ca reacts, it flinch, that brief happiness.
So go hop I sell the Ashdown and I invested in a svt and heaven his bassist is reached.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it in REPEAT (studio 20 m2) and a concert where I played on scenes already important, sound included in it is entirely satisfactory. I play on us Precision 62 'jazz bass and five delux us, it's wonderful. I'm really happy with my purchase, I will keep this material to life unless I'm the exchange against a ferrari ...

What motivated the choice: To be honest, the fact of seeing the logo on 90% of Ampeg cabs used by bassists that I like her in concert.
I would have preferred an Ampeg 810, but given its size and weight, I went to two Ampeg 410. And I do not regret it ...
NB: The wheels are detachable so you can make stacks, or simply put the cab on the floor (on some floors, it gives greater grâââves ...)
Full connectivity (two Jacks Two Speakon and a plaque commemorating the specifications. Sometimes it helps!)
Usage: Concert only. Indeed, a 410 still weighs his forty pounds. So I have a smaller amp for rehearsals, and 10w for work at home.
I use these speakers with a head Ampeg SVT CL.
It was the sound, but at the cost of a weight and a compact result. We must bear this in mind before you crack ...

On a purely technical
- 4 HP 10 ", a horn / driver

SOUNDS

Sound: Sound Ampeg (lapalissade. ..)
Best of the cabinet is obtained at high volume in my opinion.
I put a good note (as in Jacques Martin ...) because it's the sound I wanted!
The adjustable tweeter can still get a change made.
This baffle cash without flinching substantial powers ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use this cabinet for about 1 October 2006.
It has the defects inherent in its qualities, namely:
The pros: The sound, the robustness
The -: The weight, bulk
Buying only the second hand market, I will not comment on the quality / price ratio. One note though: When you see the price of the equipment Ampeg United States, we say that the trip is billed damn expensive ...
