Classic Sounds: Ampeg SVT | Bass Tone Tuesday

[@alxiroi]

Awesome. People talk about bass a lot but amp talk and classic settings is something that should be discussed more. Thumbs up

[@IvanBassist]

Thanks, Alexis! Glad you liked it!

[@colinbarbeau8678]

[@IvanBassist]

Great video, Ivan! You had me at 2:47! My VT Bass DI is back on my second pedalboard. The sound in a mix is just so good.

[@IvanBassist]

Thanks, Bert! The VT DI is great 💪🏽💪🏽

[@focusonjunta]

You get the thumbs up and bell treatment...Plugin sounds good. But damn you man!... Now I have to buy an Ampeg SVT? Here we go - on ampeg svt demo/review marathon first! I am srating at the Ampeg website. Cheers!

[@IvanBassist]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I apologize to your wallet haha. Although a Tech 21 VT bass gets your pretty damn close :)

[@beornthebear.8220]

This sounds good. I remember years ago wanting to get a Sunn Colosseum because Chris Squire was using it, and in those days. the sound I heard from the Ampeg was "thump thump". This sounds much better. Back then, I used a RIC 4001 with RotoSound Roundwound Swing 66 strings.I still use those strings to this day. Sunn is gone. I've gone 5 string now, using an Ibanez BTB-575 with active Bartolini II pickups and and an Ibanez Soundgear SR1305 with active/passive Nordstram Big Single pickups.I love the BTB575, but the SR has a thinner neck which is much easier on my fingers.When I can afford it, O'd like a RIC 4003 5 string with the triangle pickups, or a Warwick bass.

[@IvanBassist]

Love the sound of a roaring SVT. If only the entire setup wasn’t so heavy 🥲🥲🥲

[@paulbeharrell]

Hi Ivan! Love your videos! I bought this amazing plugin after watching you dial in this wide range of great tones. Plugin Alliance/BrainWorx also have a superb emulation of the punchy Gallien-Kruger 800-RB. It’s fun to put pedals in front of these before going into your DI. Comps, EQs, chorus and especially clean-blended drive or fuzz. Cheers!

[@IvanBassist]

awesome!! Congratulations on the new plugin :)

[@marciosouza8656]

Amazing vídeo Ivan !

[@IvanBassist]

Glad to hear you liked it, Marcio!

[@SQuaresma]

Hi Ivan. Nice plug-in cheer's

[@IvanBassist]

Gracias, Sergio!

[@SQuaresma]

@@IvanBassist obrigado! I hope you are better on your knee too.

[@nihalnayak5483]

Nice video Ivan. What pedals can be used to get an Ampeg tone in live situations?

[@IvanBassist]

Thanks! There are a couple of pedals that do that. Probably the most famous one is the Tech 21 VT Bass. There's also Ampeg's own pedals, the Darkglass Vintage series, One Control Silver Peg, Broughton SV-Pre, etc.

[@jesuguru2394]

I liked the Brought SV-Pre, but the best so far is the Master Effects Super 300. It just sounds right. When I turn it off I immediately want it on again. Check it out!

[@IvanBassist]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@gonfreecss7579]

Ivan, espectacular info! Estaría bueno hacer esto de todas las marcas de amplificadores(ampeg, fender, ashdown, trace elliot, gk, aguilar, etc...), del sonido característico de cada una de ellas y compararlas. Suena a mucho trabajo pero hay poco material comparativo de esta calidad. Un fuerte abrazo!

[@IvanBassist]

Gracias por la idea! Voy a ver que puedo hacer al respecto!

[@gorrilaman90]

wait so this is only the plug-in no compressors or eq??!

[@IvanBassist]

I did add some compression in post, but no further EQ to the samples

[@jamesowen3497]

What type of strings are you using?

[@IvanBassist]

D’addario Nickel EXL 45-100
