waynepunkdude Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Just went down and picked up an Ampeg SVT 2 Pro and oh my f***ing god the sound is incredible, going to get it serviced but so so happy. Quote
essexbasscat Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Congrats Wayne. Bring it along to the next bash ! Quote
risingson Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Nice to find that perfect amp isn't it! Enjoy it mate. Quote
steve-soar Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Good aren't they? I had an SVT II non pro, beast. The drive knob is very useful. I'd like one again but they are too heavy. Did you score the GK cab? Quote
Mykesbass Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Nice one Wayne, something keeps telling me (GAS probably) that I'm going to have to go the valve route soon. Quote

I think one of the outputs has a little problem, it cuts in and out I don't think it's major but I'm gonna take it to the tech tomorrow and leave it alone tonight to stop any damage I had a taste of heaven........... I'm in the process of buying an Orange Bass Terror for the smaller gigs, I think it's a ridiculous for pub gigs. Edited June 19, 2011 by waynepunkdude Quote

skankdelvar Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Well done, matey. It's lovely when reality matches up to expectations Quote

Re smaller gigs, as you like the Ampeg sound, unless you specifically want a different sound for the smaller gigs, may be worth checking out the Ampeg PF500 - currently £299 at Andertons. Really happy with mine, just used it for both gigging and recording in the last week, was great for both. Quote

JTUK Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Wdude, if you want a guy to look at it..I have someone in Maidstone. Very good and reasonable, but will not like the weight so you should probably have to run that by him and move it yourself... Quote

Bankai Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Wayne I have a spare SP210 Perhaps extend your visit on Tuesday? I only live a few minutes from guitarguitar! Could do cash or trade for another cab, send me a PM if you'd be interested. Edited June 20, 2011 by Bankai Quote
