The Best Small Bass Amp Ever?!

- As the build of my new home studio continues, I'm trying to make the most of the space by setting up one of the most effective and compact practice amps I've ever owned.
The Ampeg Venture series V3 head with the 210 cabinet is proving to be both small and mighty.
I'm also unboxing the V7 amp which will now be my main touring head with a bunch more headroom for bigger gigs.

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
The bass sounds huge through the camera audio 🔥
Love hearing you on different gear! It’s cool to see the slight changes amp/speakers make.
I’ve been fighting to love my sound lately. Would love for you to go through your process of EQing (for live performance) sometime. That’s one thing I still struggle with.
Sir you are a true inspiration and I can only wish you greater success for you and your family. Much respect and thank you for all you do...
I just bought the same set up for my high school! Super light!! V3 and 2x10.
I am so tempted to replace my SVT-4 Pro with either a V7 or a V12. Also, I always wanted a 8x8 and saw that they released one. My setup sounds killer, but I need something more light and versatile.
Same, my exact situation and consideration to replace the 4pro with something lighter but that has that same power and svt tone I’d like to try that 2x8 also
tube amp + attenuator + little room w/ treatment = magic
i am currently searching for a good solid state head, though. good to know these ampeg's can deliver magic in a tiny room.
I don’t miss a day a week kislux This show..
I’ve been looking to move back to Ampeg for years but never really acted on it. I may just go for the V3 and a 2x10 to replace my current TC Electronic combo. I miss the Ampeg coloration and, sir, just made me miss it a little bit more :)
For my practice space, I’ve been using a GK 700RB with GK Goldline 2x10. I’ve been using them since about 2006! They still sound great, but CRAZY heavy! Thanks for the video!
I just bought a similar rig. The V7, 2x10, & 1x15. It sounds great. I use the full stack with a Stingray 5 HH and the SVT voicing for one band and just the 1x15 and my P Bass with the B-15 voicing for the other. I joke that the speaker cabinets must be movie props because they're so light.
👏thank you Janek! Safe travels!
Had the luxury of being at that gig and damn did that rig sound amazing!
I'm considering getting the V3 to pair with my 210AV, even using two 210AV's if needed. I'm currently using a PF-20T with them but I like the feature of having a very small, very light and portable amp head with these cabinets. I had an Aguilar TH 350 which I loved but had to sell for reasons and I think the V3 might be the perfect replacement for that amp.
Love the look of that v3.
I'd love to get a head / cab set up but for what I play and where I play I can't justify it. I play almost exclusively in places that have in ear monitors so I just rock up with my HX Stomp and a DI pedal. At home I've got a Fender Rumble, which I love and works well for what I do at home but even then I sometimes run the HX Stomp to a computer and headphones.
Trying to fight and work on my previous "gear" centric thinking and stay as minimal and functional as I can. If I ever get rid of this rumble that v3 and a cab maybe the next thing though.
I’m with you. I have nice studio monitors and a good wireless iem setup, but even at low volume, you can’t beat that amp in the room feeling for guitar or bass.
Aguilar is nice but your tone has been much warmer and phatter sounding in the videos lately.
There’s just something about that ampeg sound.
I used the SVT 300 Watt head (all tubes, power and pre) on the road for 21 years along with a HLF 4x10 cabinet. There’s just nothing like Ampeg.
Occasionally I would get an Aguilar rig for backline, and they’re just so sterile in comparison.
I am sold on the Venture series ….
I currently have a Hartke 1x15 cab, and I'm seriously considering pairing it with a Venture head to make a sort of higher-output B-15.
What a great change! Ampeg is all I ever used I’ve been considering getting the v12 to replace my svt4 pro do you think that would be a good choice as far as power and that svt sound
Wow! Great content. The baked potato performance sounds amazing! Who is that drummer?!?! 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks once again for putting out great content, maestro Janek! How is the ventilator on the venture series, does it go on all the time, or is it smart like the bergantino forte and activates first when its really needed?
I don't think I've heard it go on once at home in over 6 months of using it.
Hate mine ,😢. Loved the tone hammer more
WOW amazing video, thanks sensei, for doing this
Was that a flower reference?😮😊
I had a V12 for a short time. The tone was incredible but the overall volume output was disappointing. I stuck with my Hartke TX600.
I don't care, im going out to get these like RIGHT NOW
😮😮😮💪💪👏👏👏😂
Does this new venture Ampeg speaker have quicker response than the classic?
That was always my issue with my Ampeg. Otherwise I loved the tone…
i have a battery powered bass amp its called a juno off amazon 10watt
👍👌
How do you transport your bass when you travel..do you check that along with your amps and accessories? Thanks for the great video.

I always check the bass.
I like my mono case here in Vietnam too. Waterproof nearly and crashproof if you fall off your motorbike. And it's a soft case. It's just another option if you don't like a hard case. It has rollers, too.
Sounds fucking amazing! Just a question, could i get the name of that first tune you put in the video... sounds amazing.
That's Bob Reynold's song "Step Aside" from his "Hindsight" album.
I've heard a lot of these amps and the line before these often died in the middle of a performance. Have you had any reliability issues?
I don't know if you ever thought of trying one of the small recording Ampeg Portaflex amps (PF-20T or PF-50T)? Not for live use, but for using for recording, even as a tube DI.
Got a pf50t great amplifier
@@paultraynorbsc627 Yip, saving up for the PF-20T at the moment. Just for recording, so don't massively need more power - and have an Ampeg Micro VR for louder, and those do actually sound damn good in their own right. I guess they're sort of the precursor to the Venture. Fan is a bit noisy though, but can be modded.
@@compucorder64see if you can get the pf50t
Nice shirt
In B15 mode, without the grit, are the Venture amps pretty neutral/flat?
the B15 mode with no grit is super nice and round. I wouldn't call it "flat" as the emulation is definitely doing something to the sound, but it's an incredibly useable and classic sound to work with. I use if often when I want that old B15 sound.

What festival are you going to

Venture amps..don’t think ya can buy one and connect straight to classic cabs without changing speaker leads I found out the hard way.
I don’t understand. Classic cab? Changing speaker leads?
huh?
