You just can't beat the sweet sound of an Ampeg SVT. My late best friend had an unusual rig: Furman parametric EQ and Furman X-over pushing a CS-800 which was hooked to a 8X10 for the highs, and a 2x18 scoop for the lows. It was huge. He called it Darth Vader's bass amp. The road crew hated him.
Since I had to move all of my own gear, and it had to fit in my car, I had one of those monster heads, and a custom made TL cabinet loaded with an EVM-15L. The cabinet actually weighed less than the Fender head! But all in all, I did like the sound of the Ampegs over the Fender.
