ben604 Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Here's my Ampeg SVT-CL up for sale at £750. It's in excellent condition with no missing tolex and sounds great. Just today, 7th January, it's had a valve replaced, biased and checked over by Dave Lunt, a well regarded technician in Manchester. Tested to be putting out the full 300 watts with a nice clean signal showing on his oscillator! Interesting to see a tech at work! It sounds just like an Ampeg should, I just can't justify carrying 35 off Kgs into sh*tty pubs every weekend! Collection from the Wirral, or meet up within 50 miles of CH49 for petrol monies!

jembullo Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Ben I kind of get where you are coming from on this one, I have a USA SVT AV and a Terror Bass and although the Ampeg has a great sound I sometimes wonder if it warrants the 35kg's!! The TB for the size and weight has a great tone, even better now I have a pair of 5751 valves in it....I say keep it and try and pick up a TB 2nd hand and have the best of both! Jem
ben604 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Jem, if only £350 was that easy to come by at Christmas! I'll sell for £750 cash, collected from the Wirral too. I could ship it, but you're looking at £40 and the inherent risk of shipping such a heavy item, although I'd pack the crap out of it. Edited December 5, 2011 by ben604
jembullo Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 This is a great price for such a great bit of kit. Gigged mine at the weekend and sounded amazing. Snap it up at this price!
ben604 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Posted December 13, 2011 Bump - I think a valve has gone in this, it's not Biasing properly. I'm going to take it to a tech asap, if anyone's interested, I'll get it done before Christmas, otherwise it'll be in the New Year.
Owen_batch21 Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 I'm definitely interested if its working fine
ben604 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 I've amended the first post with some new pictures and an update on the faulty valve!
ben604 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 Bump. I'm looking for a cab, so I would trade from something light - GK Neo 212, Schroeder 1515L, other light but powerful cabs + some cash my way.
