The SVT-212AV features 2x12″ custom Eminence® LF drivers and a 1″ compression driver with 3-way level control in a rugged cab with vintage Ampeg styling. Rated to handle 600W RMS at 4ohms, the SVT-212AV is an ideal match for the Ampeg V-4B bass head.

Lozz196 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Ampeg 212 - that looks nice, keep us posted on the sounds of your new rig Grissle, as an Ampeg fan (though unfortunately unable to carry them anymore) will be interested to hear about this set-up. Quote
indiegrungesound Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 I think I'm in love with this cab! I can imagine how great this would sound with my Hartke LH500 & my Ampeg PF 350! I hope these turn up over here soon! Quote
dannybuoy Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 $1300 so should be under a grand over here? Quote

Musicman20 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) One of the tube experts on Talkbass has mentioned an issue with plate voltage and keeping to the original design. It'll be well over £1000 over here...may as well get an Orange. Edited August 4, 2013 by Musicman20 Quote
Icunningham Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Being an ampeg fanboy I'm really looking forward to the 2x12, I've been looking for a smaller cab and this one really appeals to me. I just hope it's not horrendously expensive Quote

I just hope it's not horrendously expensive [/quote] Agree. I have the same thoughts and the same plan. It's a pretty fair price at Thomann IMHO. On the other hand I wouldn't mind two of the some what bigger(total volume) SVT112.More lowend hopefully,and the abillity to split them for small club gigs.

I hope the prices will come down after a while.(Or ,not increase)I was comparing to the prices of Aguilar and others at Thomann. http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Berg_HD_112_210_410_212.html Quote
basshead56 Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 That cab looks like sex!! Except I'll definitely be having it soon...well, once the price comes down anyway Quote
Johnnyc Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Mmmmm tasty! Is the V4B out yet then? Would look great on top of my '69er Grrr I thought i'd just gotten rid of GAS once & for all! Quote

If it can get a similar sound to the SVT-CL I might have to get one. Edited August 12, 2013 by joeystrange Quote

dannybuoy Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 The cabs are well overpriced when you compare them to the SVT210AV, which is half the price of the 112! Quote

skychaserhigh Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 £1294 for a 100 watt valve head ? Er no thanks ! Quote
drewk_ie Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 The Ampeg 212 cab seems expensive, I run my '72 V4 through two Ampeg 210AV cabs and the sound is incredible! Quote
JTUK Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 My concern here would be how powerful the D and G will be through a 212. I have a 212 which really delievers there and a pr of 2x112 which don't... so assuming the amp is what you want, I'd be looking at the cab very carefully. For that money it really should and then it will be worth it. You'll pay that money for a couple of 112's Quote
