"Only One Issue with the Ampeg cabs"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This thing will work for ever. I won't buy another one unless I get another one just like it to stack! I just need to either cover it again or spray paint it. Thought about putting diamond plate on it.
Sound
It's an Ampeg. Crystal clear sound. I crank it way up, and never distorts ot falters in any way.
Features
The horn can be adjusted to where you like it. Speakon or 1/4 inch inputs. Just a basic bass cab.
Ease of Use
I gave it a 9 becasue it's so dang heavy. So to use it, it takes effort to bring it to where I need it. After that it's plug and play.
Quality
Well, this is the only area I was dissappointed in becasue of the covering. The covering is coming off in many spots. This is not due to abuse or neglect. It's used regularly and is moved around a lot. I think my Peavey held up better. The bulk of problems start when the covering got a little hot at outside gig. It tore from a zipper on a gig bag of my bass laying on top of it. The wood is good sturdy and the wheels help a lot.
Value
It's high end gear for the high end price. In the end everybody would like to pay less.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed them with this or other Ampeg stuff I have had.

I drive this cab with an all tube 100W Ampeg V-4B. Nice clarity and detail. The low end is there but not boomy. The castors and tow bar are very handy. Plenty-O-Volume and air blast when she is cranked. Zzounds came in $100 less than everyone else which sealed the deal for me.

Ampeg SVT-410HLF Bass Cab Customer Review

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Right now, I feel I never want to purchase another bass cab. I've played 4 10"s that don't have the same low end, I've played many 15" that don't have the punch or the presence. This cabinet does it all and no need to cart around 2 stacks. I was also very pleasantly suprised that this cab didn't distort at extreme volumes, just sound full/punchy/fat and great!!!!
Sound
The sound is the reason I bought this cab. It's the only cab I could find that combines a punchy sound with fat/full low ends.
Features
As far as bass cabinets go, it has the adjustible horn, speakon jacks, regular 1/4 jacks, what else do you need?
Quality
Built like a tank! Covered in what appears as a light coat of PVC. The heavy transport bar and built in wheels make this beast easy to move around.
Value
Sound is worth every penny. If I skimped, I would have to trade up eventually which we all you you lose when you start playing that game.
Manufacturer Support
No reason to call, no problems.
The Wow Factor
After each jam/gig I can't wait to play through it again! Above average visual appeal, amazing sound appeal - which is what drives me.

"The best of the best!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This one is a keeper! Considering the magnatude of the low end of this cabinet, for my purposes, I don't need a separate sub wooofer!
Sound
In my honest opinion, Ampeg IS the sound of bass. Being the pioneer of bass amplification, Ampeg has the goods to deliver now and well into the future. The 410HLF has tremendous low end, growly mids and pristene highs. I am using it in conjunction with an Ampeg head and they go together sonically like a jacket and matching pants!!
Features
I appreciate the fact that it sits flat on the floor which helps transmit sound. But if it has to be moved, just grab the rear mounted bar, tilt it back and away you go, effortlessly!
Quality
The 410HLF is a Clydesdale among Shetlands! Made to do the job. It's definitely a road worthy piece of equipment.
Value
I compared this product with other cabinets (some priced higher) and this one was hands-down the best of the lot.
Manufacturer Support
I've owned Ampeg products in the past and have never had to call the company with any problems.

"Solid cab, great low end and will suit any style!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sweet cab!! This will be a staple in my rig. If anything, I would add a sub and 2 tens just for the edge in a large open setting.
Sound
The cab seems to adjust to your sound very well. Nice warm bluesy tone, sweet slap tone and takes tube overdrive well. Killer lows in a live setting and the horn control knob is great and solves the mudd problem when the lows are cranked!!
Quality
If this fell down my steps, I'd worry more about my steps or anyone in the way! It's built solid and still smells new after a year(i know, i'm weird)
Value
Between the horn control, the ports, the connections and the quality, it's worth it.
The Wow Factor
Smooth, sleek looks and I've found during many a show that the handle on the back is a good towelrack

"Ampeg SVT-410HLF Cab was just what I needed for my 5 & 6 string basses"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I found that I was blowing out speakers due to my down-tuning along with my extended range basses. I search the zZounds website and found exactly what I was looking for to pair up with my Ampeg SVT-CL. The cab is punchy, clear, pushes plenty of air, and gives depth when I hit that low A string. The pay as you play plan again made it possible for me to afford the gear I needed.

I used to run 8 - 10s...and it kicked butt...BUT i went to a 5 string bass and grew tired of lugging 8 10s....I needed something smaller that can handle the LOWs of a 5 string bass... THIS IS IT....IT sounds thick and tight...easy to transport...the ports throw the lows well.... THIS IS THE REAL DEAL...well worth it.

The way they built this amp is Sweet, that is the reason i own an Ampeg but not this one yet i have a BSE-410H, basically the smaller verison of this one with less features. AND IT IS FOR SALE RIGHT NOW!
Sound
The sound on this amp is amazing, i used my Behringer BX3000T on it and it hits the lows really well and the highs to. And it can really handle the ultrabass mode on my Behringer.
Features
It pretty blane, but then again its a bass amp
Ease of Use
Its ok to use i just wish it had 4 wheels on it instead of 2. and its not that heavy, heavy is over 150 lbs at least.
Quality
They did an excellence job on this amp. Every bass player should use this cause it fits with almost every kind of style of music.
Value
I wanted to actually buy one to own but holy mother of ..... that is kinda expensive for someone in college

Dont know so ill just give it a 10

"The Best 4x10 Cabinet On The Market"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I have no plans to replace this cabinet -ever. If I had to though, I would look no further than another HLF. As mentioned, I am convinced that this cabinet is superior to both cpmparable Eden and SWR 410's (which I've not only auditioned, but used.) And, at a slightly lower price. Hard to beat that equation.
Sound
The sound (particularly the low end) is simply incredible. I auditioned 2 of the top competing 4x10 speakers cabinets (Eden & SWR) and found the HLF to be superior in every way. IMO, it simply doesn't get any better than this.
Features
It's relativley heavy. But, the casters, back slide, and heavy duty side handles make it a breeze to move. The integrated horn and rear mounted attenuator are another exceptional feature of this cabinet. Rear input/ouput jacks (1/4" or Speakon) allow total flexability when choosing speaker interconnect cables.
Ease of Use
As easy a pie. Simply choose a quality 1/4" or Speakon cable...plug it in, set the horn attenuator to the desired level, and play.
Quality
Cabinet construction is excellent. A clean non cluttered cosmetic design says "all business." The tolex covering is "tight" (no visible seams), Rear input/output jacks are of the highest quality and solidly mounted. Heavy Duty metal side handles, back slide handle, chrome corners, and casters are all of the highest quality. With all due respect to my former Peavey rig, Peavey cabinets are made from OSB, tolex seams are poor and subject to tearing, and plastic side handles which are prone to breakage. Some folks seem to object to Ampeg's use of grill cloth (as opposed to metal grate.) I don't don't see this as a deficiency as there is no possibility of "rattle" with grill cloth and less chance of accidentally "poking" a speaker cone. Just use a good quality cover (or ATA case) and worry no more about the grill cloth.
Value
Well worth every cent I spent. IMO a superior product to similar Eden and SWR offerings at a lower price.
Manufacturer Support
Although I've never had a problem with the HLF, I did call support regarding an impedence question and received a rapid and courteous response.
The Wow Factor
As mentioned, a clean, no nonsense appearance. The true "marvel" of this cabinet is the engineering that premits it to accurately reproduce a clean audible tone down to 28Hz.

Ampeg SVT-410HLF Bass Cab Customer Review

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I'm going to give it one more shot at fixing the blown speaker, but if it goes again, I'll be onto to GK or SWR land....
Sound
For most bass players that play music in the most common genres (rock/alt/blues/soul/punk etc.) you cannot go wrong with the tone that this cab will put out. Use it with any SVT pro head and a Fender P-bass, J-bass or good quality bass and you will be in tone heaven.
Features
Standard features of a bass cab. 4 10" speakers, side handles, and rolling wheels (def a nice feature cause it's super heavey)
Ease of Use
The wheels def help...
Quality
OK, so this is where my issues start. I'm on my second cabinet now from new. First one I blew 2 speakers after having it only 4 weeks, second one now I just blew another speaker after having it about 2 months. NOt quite sure what is going on. I use an SVT 3 Pro head, so I'm not pumping any crazy amount of amplitude through it. These issues just make me wonder about the "roadworthiness" of these cabs and how they will stand up to the test of time....
Value
If you can pick one up for around $500/$600, it is good value for money.
Manufacturer Support
Not dealt with Ampeg yet, just local dealer who were very helpful.
The Wow Factor
It's a pretty boring design, but it's a classic...and classic is always SEXY!

"Ampeg 410-HLF - The finest 4x10 Speaker cabinet that money can buy !!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Depending on the venue, I use either 1 or 2 410-HLFs (or 1 410-HLF with an SVT-18) coupled with an Ampeg SVT 4-PRO. I have no plans to ever replace either the amplifier or cabs. If, however, fate mandated replacement, I would once again purchase an identical Ampeg configuration.
Sound
Sound characteristics are superb - particularly with regard to low-end. Cabinet compares favorably to an 8x10 at a lower price point, and of course, superior portability. 5-String bassists will be particularly impressed with the sound reproduction of their low B string. Truly a wonderfully engineered piece of eqipment.
Features
Despite its weight, the 410-HLF is quite portable as a result of integrating the rear casters + collapsable slide handle. 1/4" and/or speakon input/output jacks are a real "plus." In addition, the integrated horn and attenuator permit a variey of tonal adjustments.
Ease of Use
As easy as it gets !!
Quality
Built like a tank -and- cosmetically appealing. "fit and finish" is excellent....exactly what one would expect from Ampeg.
Value
The "HLF" is worth every penny of it's price. Note too that Ampeg resale value is "second to none."
Manufacturer Support
Have never had a problem with my 410-HLF(s.) However, prior service issues with Ampeg (2 in 40+ years) were handled expediently, and without issue. The 5-year guarantee is perhaps the best in the industry.
The Wow Factor
As an "old pro," frankly, it's a bit difficult to find "sex appeal" in any piece of equipment. I tend to think of basses and amp/cabs as tools of my trade. I think, however, that the 410-HLF is a marvel with regard to its acoustically engineered ability to accurately reproduce excellent tonality down to 28Hz.

"I never thought I'd buy Ampeg"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I'll likely keep it until death do us part
Sound
After a long absence from the music business, I set out on a quest for find an amp an cabinet setup that would rival my Acoustic 360 from "back in the day". I had played Ampeg back then, too, but found them to distort like everything else at high volume. I didn't think Ampeg would een be on my search list. After trying every brand and speaker combination available in stores, I purchased The SVT410HLF. Loud and clear open E's as bassy as you can send to the cabinet.
Features
Has everything a cabinet should
Ease of Use
ease of use? its a cabinet..PLUG the amp into it!
Quality
a "9" because I've only had it a year. So far...just fine

you get what you pay for. Pro gear costs more than geear for the basement.
