Yeah, Hernia Heaven

Every time I’m feeling down I come back to this video

This is how demo vids should be done - great job...now, I pretty much always aim for a clean sound, but the '84 SVT at 2.08 is just utterly jaw-dropping

One of the best bass videos on KZread

Great clip! I LOVED the Rickenbacker riff!

Some of the best looking (and sounding) basses that I've ever seen! I'm particulary a Hartke guy, but Ampeg is gathering up my attention more and more each day.

one of the best head to heads I have seen, Great Job thank you!

Really well done comparison, probably the best I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

holy moly! best amp comparison video ever made!

Brilliant demos. Just found your channel. Glad to find I'm not the only one playing with grit, and growl in their tone.

Your playing is incredible. That Rickenbacker riff is making me want to play bass again. So much groove and feel and swagger, and CONSISTENCY. Love that there are still people who can really hold it down out there. You're perfect.

Excelente!!! Necesitaba esta comparación, recién tengo un B2Re y acá suena increíble 🤘🏼🔥

One of the only times I've seen another SVT-2 non-pro. I own an 89. It's a wooly mammoth. Thank you for making the video.

Man, same here. I didn’t know they were so rare. I’m on the fence about selling mine since I’m not in bands anymore... but it’s such a classic I don’t want to regret it

That distorted riff with the p bass is pretty nasty

SVT 3 PRO for me! (with a 610 hlf) Well done on the video. Really great to hear the comparisons like this. Thank you!

That Rickenbacker riff sounds like something Mark Sandman from Morphine would play. Cool stuff.

Terrific demo. Thank you very much for posting.

Fantastic job! Best comparison on KZread!

Super cool. This video really helped me get an ear for the different amps and which one I would want.

Great demo. Thanks for doing this. So many flavors of goodness.

Great Job. They all sound like Ampeg's for sure. Love the 1974 Jazz-Flats, thru the 1984 era SVT. And the B15S. The SVT VR and B25B also rule.

The absolute best comparison!

Godnie zwłaszcza z Preclem, dobra robota ten filmik (z resztą jak i poprzednie) :)

I'm the proud new owner of a 1972 Ampeg SVT head and it's matching 1972 8x10 cabinet as well as a 69/70 "flat back" 8x10 cab. Both cabinets still have all of the original alnico speakers and the rig sounds even more glorious than I had hoped.

What an awesome video. Thunderous tone.

They all sound amazing!

Holy shit, your playing is great and so is your tone

Beatifull demo !!! 👏👏👏

I very rarely like the bass playing on youtube vids, but this was refreshing cheers

Nice job man. I always enjoy your videos. 😎🤘

Amazing! Thanks for doing this demo

One of the best bass gear demos I've seen on YT! BTW: P-Bass + Stainless Steel Roundwounds + Pick + SVT = Best rock/punk/metal bass tone ever!

fantastic playing man ! ...that Laredo really sounds good too...

wow thank you. cool. love them all but i'll take the B15 and SVT VR.

Właśnie pożałowałem, że pozbyłem się mojego B2RE. Właśnie się dowiedziałem, że SVT-2 PRO będzie ostatnim headem jaki w życiu kupię :-)

Wow ,that B2RE works perfect!

Man, great video. Good job!!!!

Awesome riffs!!

love that stressed P bass! gorgeous!

The B2RE and 08 VR were AWESOME

Nothing sounds better than my vintage fender p's and j's through my 1972 marshall major through 2 tall 2x15 bass cabs...all mullard valves...pure Heaven.

Awesome demo. Thanks!

vr and svt 2. awesome playing and awesome basses

Weird but first let me say cool test thank you so much!!! was surprised to see myself look up every time to the B2 RE and VR!!!

Honestly, I keep coming back to the SVT-VR and the B2RE as my favorites, with the B25B close behind. Great tones all around though.

Best Video on KZread!! VR for me... all though I was surprised by the B2RE

My eras perked up when I heard that 08 svtr head

Amazing, they all basically sound identical

'84 SVT and B25B for sure !

best sounding demo

Jeez, with the amount of people asking if any pedals were used you'd think they have no idea what an Ampeg sounds like when the gain is goosed a bit.

It's really funny how many guitar and bass players don't know that all their favorite tones on their favorite albums were made from tube amps and not distortion pedals

It takes time to find this stuff. And who's actually heard one live these days? Much less played one? But this is the best way for sure. Artsy shots you could freeze to get his settings. And good feeling riffs, and the slight variations in tempo catch your attention. Try listening to it quiet too.

Hey what setting to you use for a good rock tone on a vintage svt? Do you use the rocker switches?

Man that Maroon P bass has some mileage on it, LOL. Love the riff you were playing with the green P bass.

They all sound like good old Ampeg to me 🤘

Really so many sound good. For any given riff there might be one I liked more but it's a question of settings too. I should listen again to see if I can at least rule any out.

I love the B25B. Great sound! To me anyway.

V4B is great. Nice playing!

That SVT-2Pro is a monster amp. Keeps up with the SVT-VR in my opinion.

Which one I like best really depends on the riff being played and the bass and strings being used.

Surprised at the overlap between the different models. I didn’t think I’d like the V4B as much as I did. 88 SVT2 is my fave.

Nice job. You play like Bobby Vega ,with that pick.

You should do a comparison of an svt-cl, an svt-vr, and a vintage svt!

Would love to see an ampeg shootout of all pro models

personally, I would go for the MTI era one. And I also like the V4B. Among the recently manufactured, by the way, I would go for the 2008 SVT VR

SRT VR hands down all day the clearest best tones

Bardzo potrzebne video.

I still love my 77 V4b 2x15 cab, can never have enough low end. Weather I play my Fender 77J, my 81P or my 68 EB3 it all sounds good threw the V4b even my stock Squiers.

Was the V4B running through a guitar cab? It says 4x12 so that leads me to believe that that is the source of its rather strange tone

Can I get some opinions on whether the ampeg SVT-AV(aniversary) is the same as the SVT-CL for the most part(Tone and feature wise) and the differences if there are any?

Damn those svtpro amp heads have a nice tone.

SVT pro's and old school flip-tops are where it's at.

Pretty cool exploration, but I wish there had been at least one set of comparison with the same cab.

I have a chance to get an ampeg b145s for a good price, but I mainly play metal and punk, do you think this amp will be suitable for modern louder music?Would it be loud enough to play live? Id like to hear peoples thoughts on this or people who have used /owned this amp!

Heaven

Love that vr

While I did enjoy this, Im surprised you didn't use a Jazz bass with round wound strings, played with the fingers. Its super popular among the bass players I know (including me!). Also, if thats a personal collection of Ampeg stacks, congratulations its awesome!

Hah,,,funny you mention that! I was just wondering wtf?..a good video otherwise.

Were you playing the b25b through the bright or normal channel? It seems really bright!

hi really good video! what do u think about the b2re in comparison to the others?

79 fender riff is awesome

Hi. Do you go by Matt? Just wanted to say that I'm totally envious of all the great gear you've got. Almost like a used music store. Also love listening to your groove.

My top 3: SVT V4B 1976 - Best of both worlds V15S - Most distinctive / Saturated sound to play with SVT VR 2008 - Modern pick

I just ordered a B2-RE based on this video ,...are the images of the B2re in this video the settings you used?

which channel do you use in the ampes with two of them?

Cool riff

You can really tell the difference between the solid state and tube driven power sections.

I'd really like to hear how great an SVT sounds for woody blues and classic rock with NO PICK but actually playing ordinary bass parts in demo videos is such a rarity.

Am i the only one who doesn't like overly distorted and driven bass tones? But i love all the amps you have, so great.

All of these sound epic. This is great bass playing. I can hear the overdrive and clean, it sounds as though a pedal may be used in some places. Wanted to ask if that was the case, or, if there is one head overall that shines in terms of a natural distortion. My gratitude, -R

+Ryan Lee Also the Jam at 7:30 is epic. I'm going to try to tab it out. If I may it's got a run and then octave then goes a step down, egh, wow.. can I say hard. (!). Looks like it's based on a blues scale.

Impressive ! Great job mat ! Just an idea, i really curious about how sound an SVT3 preamp into a tube amp vs the native one, if you can test it and make a youtube comparison ? Cheers !

Wow, that pbass sound, what are those strings!

Man, if you get a chance, I'd love & appreciate itif you'd make a video hookin' up that V-4B ta every cabinet you got possible! 🙌🏻 Tryin'ta decide which one I wanna go with. 👍🏻

At some point in the video you stop paying attention to which amp is up and you just enjoy the playing, because they all sound fantastic. The EQs are set flat and they sound great as is, but a minor tweak with get any sound you want. Ampeg for the win, but I do like the V4B...

Thanks!

The b2re sounded pretty comparable for all of the complaints, did you think it was decent? I k ow it was a while ago

In the search for the perfect bass tone, I am an Ampeg in a sound hole.

2 V4b's come in at not much more than one svt.One v4b for smaller rooms and the other as a back up,and both for when you need stage volume.Stereo applications like Ric-O-Sound too.If I didn't already own an SVT and a vintage V4b I would go that route.

That Ric and SVT!!

Amazing comparison. Fascinating to hear the different tones. So all the overdrive/distortion is coming from the amp heads? Or were you using effects at any time? The B2RE sounds surprisingly good, I honestly like it more than the modern solid-state/hybrid amps which are much more expensive. In my experience with an older B2, they are a little underpowered for a live full band situation, especially with an 8-ohm cab...through an 810 I imagine it's a different story...
