I would first like to start off by saying that this wonderful 50th anniversary cabinet is lit up by a TVT 200 head. I dont know why they call it a 200 when it really puts out 385 RMS watts of pure gut busting tone and low end.
My ears have heard the best of ampeg , and pretty much everything else as my life has taken me through many a music store, and many a show.
I was originally going to purchase 2 / 410's so I could back up my tones at live venues. Being in a band that plays a wide variety of shows, as well as being a studio owner, this cabinet came as a pleasant surprise.
Lets just say I wont be getting the 2nd 410 anytime soon, this cabinet will hold its own , with a healthy portion to spare. The response in the low 60-200hz range mixes well with the highs and a grittyness is found when fiddling with the mids. I get compliments all the time on my rig. If you want your bass to be felt and heard, look no further than Ampeg. Anything from these guys is worth taking a serious look at.
