Ticktock Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 I'd buy it for 50p and a pickled egg. But then I've had a few...... Oooooooooh. Innit. Quote

[/quote] lol, well apparently I shouldn't run an 8 ohm cab with it, so now I have to sell the 8 ohm warwick 411 and get a 4ohm cab or another 8 ohm (just sold an 8 ohm 115) Quote

RhysP Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Did you read the small print on the Mansons website that says that ex-demo SVT comes without any valves? Quote
skidder652003 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Posted May 24, 2014 I vaguely remember a bass player wanted ad on here recently that specifically required an SVT and 810 for "quick get ins and outs" and no "pussy modern micro heads" reckon Im in with a shout now... Quote

Marvin Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 You need a nice Ampeg 410, a 4 ohm one...like what I have got Quote
Raslee Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 ...or I may sell my mint Ampeg fridge 8x10 to a fellow Devonian as I don't envisage using it that much due band taking another hiatus Quote
hamfist Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) It's a very good buy at that price. Nice one. I will add that those Ampegs are waaaaay heavier than Selmer T&B 100's though. T&B - about 24kg, Ampeg - about 35kg. The weight is the only thing that has restrained me from buying one of these things, and it's been a pretty close thing. Please don't tell me how great it is once you get it, it won't do my marriage any good (I have spent way too much on bass gear recently) ! Edited May 25, 2014 by hamfist Quote
skidder652003 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 yeah getting a bit nervous about the weight! I weighed my SWR and flightcase, thinking it would be similar, it isn't. SWR and flightcase only 50lbs, SVT head 80lbs. However as Im the poor sod with the majority of the PA as well, ( active subs, passive tops but no more wedge monitors thank god) and a sack carrier is mandatory, Im hoping I'll get away with it. The Warwick 411 is so heavy it's now on castors. Seem to be going in a completely opposite direction weight wise to the majority of people on bass chat! But.....always , always wanted a 300 Watt Tube monster.. and you only live once... Quote

bigbottomend Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Well worth it IMO.. the sound created from an SVT out weighs the weight it weighs ! Quote
molan Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 If there's any way you can get the valves checked over then you should definitely do this whilst it's still covered by warranty. An Ampeg 300w Classic came in for repair recently because it was buzzing a little and cut out a few times. Repair bill including a complete new set of both pre and power amp valves was over £300! A decent set of valves can go over £200 without allowing for biasing etc Quote
discreet Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 [quote name='bigbottomend' timestamp='1401012202' post='2458997'] ...the sound created from an SVT outweighs the weight it weighs! [/quote] I massively agree. Ho, ho. Quote
