My new rig that I'm saving for...

Ok, getting my job back next week and I'm going to be saving like a bastard for my new set up..here it goes...

Spector Euro 4
Ampeg SVT2 Pro(All tube my whores)
Ampeg 810E Cab

I realize this will take a little time to save up for....but in about 6 months or less I will have this...what do you guys think?

Thats pretty cool, pretty much what i might be getting, but do you really need the 810 cab? if you dont, your just lugging it around, and might be a bitch transporting, but if your playing big ass venues then fairplay.

hahaha, no I don't at all..but basically I want something that will last awhile, and I want to start a melodic death/thrash/jazz soon..so I'm preparing for anything of what may come.

I want the 810 because it's a wall of sound. lol...I'm going from a Microbass to this setup...go big or go home.

I'm thinking a 410 cab and a 115 cab will sound just as great and provide a little more versatility. If your playing a small 50-60 person venue, you don't need an 810.

I obviously don't need it, it's definitely more of a want than a need.

All tube head = 70 lbs
Ampeg 810 = 165 lbs
I would really look into the option mentioned above with the 410 +115 (although the Ampeg 115 never really left me speechless), or 2 410s, or 410 + 210 (most versatile combo IMO). Hell, my Eden 410 is enough for all of the rooms I've played in (granted I'm not filling up arenas, but then I would have roadies and sponsorships for gear). Remember also, that onstage you'll likely be getting PA support so you don't really need a huge rig.
Either way, the Ampeg + Spector is a proven combo. Good choice!

Thanks for the tips, I guess I'll have to see when I get the money, it depends how desperate I am, rather to wait and keep saving..and having a 20watt practise amp makes me VERY IMPATIENT.

I've never heard of Epifani....and theres something I don't like about SWR, they are well built and all...but I find they don't have much tonal range....but thats just me, I'm an Ampeg fucker....just like 80% of bass players lol, I guess I just like tubes better.

I am just starting my bass playing career and plan to buy an Ibanez which seems to be really popular around here. Not sure which model yet, any suggestions for a beginner/noob?

No, I ended up quitting my job which I couldn't take anymore..I have over a $1000 but I paced out that money to buy high school courses..and well, alcohol.

Good news is, I'm gonig to get another full time job after I come back from my vacation....so I'm going to go back to saving.

Yes, IHH...you suck my balls.

Well Gallien Krueger is like the polar opposite of Ampeg. The SVT-2PRO is in my opinion one of THE best Amps for metal. Gallien Kruegers are alright but they dont have that tube character and feel. They are good for slap but a little dry IMO. The 2PRO just begs to play metal.

The basses themselves are pretty good but the pickups are crap. The higher end Spectors have real EMG's (im not a fan but i know they are good pickups) but the lower end ones have cheaper EMG's which IMO arent worth the materials they are made out of.
