After lots of procrastination and a large car bill I am putting this Ampeg V-4B up for sale. It is exactly what you would expect. Loud, loads of tone, heft, punch etc. I am craving a much cleaner, crisper tone at the moment and have found it in another amp.

Condition wise it is 9.5/10
It comes with a roksolid cover.

I have just had it professionally serviced and the x4 power tubes replaced with Tung-Sol 7581 valves. The paperwork detailing all the work will come with it.

This amp will be missed but I can't keep them all.

ON HOLD - collection is preferred as it is very heavy. I am in Cornwall but do get out and about occasionally so will help in any way I can to get it to a new home rather than risk it in the hands of the postman. I will ship at cost with insurance.

Trades - try me.

Don't forget these are valve watts. I am now using a 500w Aguilar AG500 and volume wise they are almost identical.
The Ampeg has a much creamier tone which is really lovely but it's not what I need right now.

I have the V4BH 100w head and it is a fabulous sounding amp, and works well with all my basses - 4 or 5 string, active or passive.

It's more than loud enough for me when gigging with a band with 2 guitarists playing everything at No 11 - from Led Zep to AC/DC to Kaiser Chiefs and the Arctic Monkeys.

I don't know why I never tried one out before but quite frankly, it's the best bit of bass kit I've ever bought.

And as the man who sold it you you, I'd agree with all of that Nik, a glorious piece of kit at every level. You're using (IIRC) a 1x15, match this head with a 4x10, or dare I say even an 8x10, and those dudes would have to turn up to 12 :)

I'm using it with a 1x15 and a 2x10, Chris and it's just a fabulous, fabulous sound.. :)

Back on topic.. This must be a similarly great sounding head btw, so as said previously, GLWTS.
