Dubs Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) I’m after an Ampeg SVT-3Pro in exchange for my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 with the Genz Benz gig bag. I’ve been considering this for a while and have decided that I’d like a bit of the Ampeg growl back in my life after going from an all valve Ampeg rig to my super lightweight Genz Benz/Epifani rig about 3 or 4 months ago. I've played an SVT-3Pro in the past and thought it sounded great. It’s in great condition; only left the house a handful of times and it’s only ever been gigged twice – both times it wasn’t pushed anywhere near its limit. Only marks are very slight cosmetic marks on the black paint that can easily be covered with a marker pen if one were so inclined to do so The power output is an incredible 600W @ 4ohms in a tiny 3.75lb package, and with the valve pre this is a very versatile little amp. I thought I’d see if anyone wants to shed some rig weight whilst I want to put some back on I’m only really interested in the newer MkII SVT-3Pro model – not the old black/red/blue MkI one. I’m not desperate for a change as the Shuttle 6.0 is great, I’m just caught up in the old BassChat GAS again and I’m trying to nail down “My Sound”. I’m happy to wait a while and see if anything pops up. Thanks Edited February 8, 2009 by benwhiteuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been thinking about this for about a month though; I just didn’t want to be too hasty as I've suffered in the past for not controlling my GAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 have you considered a cash sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I’ve already had 1 offer for cash but I’d rather not at the moment simply due to the fact that I don’t want to be left without a head for any period of time longer than about a week, and if I let the Shuttle 6.0 go right now then I have no idea when I’d have a replacement. I’d be relatively happy to sell it if an SVT-3PRO became available through the forum or locally and the cash generated from selling the Shuttle 6.0 would cover all of my costs. Don’t get me wrong – these are great heads and I’ve been very happy with mine so I’m in no rush to off load it, I’m just looking for my ideal setup and I think the SVT-3PRO is more suited to my sound and my style of playing at the moment. If an SVT-3PRO was to become available, then potentially I’d be looking for about £430 shipped for the Shuttle 6.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
