Good point. You'd think they would've inlcuded it in AT2, like GR2.

And that was exactly what I was getting at, but I hardly doubt the people at Ampeg would've gone for that the placement would be nowhere near as good.

well they can't

...they don't fit through the metal detectors...not to mention the fact that peanut butter doesn't come in spray cans...

So then, what's big and grey and comes in quarts?

Yeah, no doubt: this is the amp they worked out the name brand deal with; no way they're going to have it just thrown in as a nice little afterthought, for the guiyar player who wants to take a break and track some bass! I guess we'll see how valuable the bass player/multi-instrumentalist market really is soon...

.. yes, its very expensive indeed. though, it feels like a must-buy to me, out of several reasons.

reason 1 is that i'm so in love with one of the bass-presets of AT1, so that makes me a fan already.
reason 2 is that i'll receive my rickenbacker 4001 bass next week, and reason 3 is that i dont plan to buy a real bass-amp in the forseeable future. (so with Ampeg SVX being the first of its kind it feels like a .. yes .. *must buy* to me).

Nice! I've gotten some good sounds with a Rickenbacker 4001v63 and Guitar Rig, but I agree Ampeg SVX seems like it will be perfect for it.

Some amateur examples (don't laugh too much I write software for a living)
My attempt at a Geddy Lee impression
Another Rick tune

Ampeg SVX supposed to be released this month!!!
