"Bass Beast"

Feature:
Featurs? Its a bass cab. It does have wheels that are used for transport when the amp is tilted back. A solid handle bar on the top comes in handy for transport as well. These features make it easier to move this beast since it weighs so much. If only it could climb into the back of my SUV by itself. I also like that dual speakon connections are present.

Quality:
Built to the highest of standards. I'm proud to own one.

Value:
This cab is worth what I paid for it if not more. I'm sure it will last the rest of my life with proper care.

Desirability:
The cab looks really good. I don't about its "sex appeal" thoug. It looks cool and it makes me look cool. The cloth grill makes me a little nervous at times but its held up well.

Sound:
Its the best sounding 4x10 out there. I chose it over a 4x10 SWR and I play a lot of Gospel music. Highs, Lows, and Mids are all produced very well. There is no need for a 15" because this is able to get really low all by itself.

Support:
Email replies come back pretty quickly but my whole question has never been answered. No worse than most other customer supports

Overall:
This thing is a tone beast and won't be looking for another 4x10 for a long time. This is a very good product. I use it with an SVT-3pro and they are a match made in heaven along with my Ibanez SR1000EFM. They are what I like to refer to as the "trinity of tone." What ever style of music you play this 4x10 will make it really come alive.

"It's an AMPEG! Need I say more?"

Feature:
The handle on the back maked for great transportation and since the wheels are on the back it sits flat and WON'T move unless kicked or pushed and that doesn't happen. The speakers are amazing and the horn is supurb! The low end is wicked and the high end is bright. The best features a bassist could ask for.

Quality:
This is the best made cab I've seen. Solid, sturdy, built to last. It can take a beating but I baby my new cab. I expect this to last me many years and MANY shows. VERY reliable and never has failed me!

Value:
This is well worth it's value compared to other cab makers! It is an Ampeg and that's all you need to know!

Desirability:
Just take one look and your hooked! Thise Ampeg cab looka vintage and that's a big appeal. No wire or hard metal or plastic grill. Vintage black cloth with the silver Ampeg logo with Classic at the bottom! It screams BUY ME!

Sound:
The sound is why I buy Ampeg. No one even touches their sound. It's the vintage "bubbley" sound and it gives the deep growl or high pitch you need. The sound is uncompromised and the quality is far reaching than any other cab I've ever played! At 500 watts at 4 ohms this baby is the best of the best. No one touches Ampeg and why would you want to limit yourself to anything less than an Ampeg?

Support:
Not had to deal with Ampeg yet but I'm sure they are great people. With a product this good though you won't need much support. The best warranty I've seen yet. 5 YEARS! It's amazing.

Overall:
This is an amazing product which I'll probably keep my whole life. It's the best cab I've ever played through. Hands down this is the real deal!

"If George Foreman had the punch of this cabinet, he'd still be World Champion."

Feature:
This is a great cabinet. The only reason this cab received a very good (7) in features is because of the following: this cabinet is built like a tank, which is not a bad thing, however,it's almost as heavy. Locking wheels in the front of this cabinet would have been a wonderful idea given the weight.

Quality:
The road worthiness of this cabinet is yet to be determined as that usually implies the rough and tumble over a considerable length of time. If how it's built is any indication though, it should last well after I'm gone.

Desirability:
The Ampeg 4X10 Classic has no sex appeal other than it's a bass players cabinet. If you want more sex appeal on stage, wear sexier clothes.

Sound:
The main thing for me on sound is I'm not hearing the typical distortion associated with playing hard through a 4X10 cabinet. Although this cab is augmented by another cab, I have played on stage with it by itself and I have no distortion issues.

Ease of Use:
Extremely easy to interface with any current head

Support:
Haven't needed any service yet. This is probably one of the most critical aspects of any product company. I'm just hoping that service will be as good as the cabinet seems to be. It is most unfortunate that probably 95% of all product companies today spend an inordinate amount of time, energy and effort on the sale of their products with the remaining 5% on follow-on customer service that is a struggle for the consumer at best. Here's an idea- just make it right if something goes wrong. You're not losing money your gaining in customer loyalty and word of mouth endorsement.

Overall:
If I were to buy another 4X10 cabinet in this economic range I would most certainly buy another Ampeg Classic. If I had to buy another similar cabinet for sound and reliabilty it would probably be a Bergantino 4X10 cabinet.

"Slap crazy, Jazz, Funk Punch"

Quality:
The craftmanship is awesome the cabinet itself is classic clean I like the portability with the tilt rack and wheels

Value:
Definately worth the price a small investment for a big sound

Sound:
Before I purchased the svt410 I made the mistake of purchasing a berhinger 4x10 big mistake because of economic reasons. I promptly took it back the next day I plugged into the svt and was immediately blown away of the superb lows and crystal clear highs and no distortion I sucked it up and payed the price and glad I did dont think I'll ever compromise my sound again. I play slap style thru a gk 500 watt head and this combined with the cabinet fills a pretty large church setting with plenty of punch and bottom
