Clarky72 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Not 100% sure if I really want to sell this. It's my baby, Its the one thing I'd rush into my house for if it was on fire to rescue...on the flip side it doesn't get enough use now that I'm not playing big gigs all the time. Built in 1987 when Ampeg was taken over, made in USA not Asia out of SVT parts but effectively supercharged! Here's a brief history of the amp from one of the guys who actually built it: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/skunkworks-svt-35924/index2.html#post5746057"]LINK[/url] Its a monster. You will never find a better Ampeg tone, if you've always wanted that legendary Ampeg thunder then this is it, plus some more... Pics below.... It's hard to put a price on it, but I'm thinking £1250. Possible trade for your Barefaced S12T Super Twelve if you have one? Edited February 5, 2012 by Clarky72
73Jazz Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 i own a skunkworks too, this is the head where i feel home..don`t do it.
bassintheface Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 are you looking for a cash only deal if you were to part with it?
Clarky72 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) All in great condition considering it's now 25 years old. Minor scuffs on the tolex, and a few paint scuffs on the knobs. Most of the other ones I've seen of the 500 have lost a knob or two... Edited January 13, 2012 by Clarky72

[/quote] I was really, what were you thinking? You don't have a Barefaced S12T you want to trade for it do you? ;-)
bassintheface Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 ha, that would be tooo easy wouldn't it!! I've got a selection of things really but depends on what you'd be looking for. I'm not sure an SVT3 Pro or a flightcased BA300 combo would be what you're after........
Clarky72 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 Sorry, but not really interested in a BA300, I've got a BA500 up for sale here too! No need for a SVT3 Pro either as just bought a GenzBenz Shuttle 6.0 If you want to buy it for cash that'd be awesome!
longtimefred Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 your replacing THAT with a Genz Benz car stereo? lol. Good luck man, someone is gonna own one of the most awesome amps in history!
Clarky72 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 Haha, I just don't need an amp of that size anymore and I'd rather it gets played. It deserves that rather than gathering dust stacked up next to my basses.
longtimefred Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 yeah i know the feeling. Its a "if you love them, set them free" malarky. Hope it goes to a good home and crushes peoples skulls in the front row thats what it was designed for lol.
Clarky72 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 Exactly... it melts faces wherever it goes!
73Jazz Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Please take this amp now!!! and get famous for your sound bump
