oh God, please talk me out of it, major gas!

[skidder652003]

so Ive seen a pretty mint used Ampeg SVT classic head reduced to £699 at a very well know music shop here in the south west, and now i have an almost crack addled sense of gas, always wanted one, can't afford it really, wife will divorce me, but damn...........

[Roland Rock]

They are really really heavy.
Ummmm....that's it


Sorry

[JapanAxe]

Before you buy it, just try lifting it. How close to Manson's can you park?

[skidder652003]

ive tried lifting it and its lighter than my SWR working Pro 700 in a flight case...groan....................
and if you're lucky , you can park right outside this particular shop

I had one back in the day and they are the quintessential bass amp bar none.

[size=4]...If you don't buy it, I will! [/size]

[discreet]

Er... I mean, no... don't buy it. It's too heavy, you can't easily hide it from your partner and it will be expensive to maintain.
Is that better..?

nope made me paranoid about "my" amp getting half inched under me nose!

[discreet]

You'll love it mate. Enjoy.

don't/do it!

It'll be hell getting it from the shop to the car remember. Afterall, there are no car parks near Mansons...just saying. And it's double yellows all the way down that street, and then there are the buses...they're not fussy about clipping an inappropriately parked car...

shhhhhhhhhhhhhh FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marvin]

Just imagine if you had to park in King William St or Howell Road car park, that's an almighty long walk for a man carrying a heavy valve amp
...maybe not too bad if you take a wheel barrow I suppose

Take one of these with you, just in case.

Wahey! That definitely calls for a drink! Glad to be of service!!

[Roland Rock]

Good man!

Coincidentally, I was going to post a 'talk me out of my amp GAS' thread today, but decided against it at the last minute. Glad I didn't now :-D

Behold the shinny shinny...thing

I suppose you could hope they haven't updated their webstie lately and it's already sold, thus ensuring you don't need to worry when your other half reaches for...anything with a blade

[Billy Apple]

Cool. As a proud SVT Pro II user (that I gig and carry) I was going to say buy it! If the weight gets you down you can always sell it on
