jamjarjay Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hello, I've been looking into getting a new rig recently and have come across the following: SVT-3 Pro head (rack comes with it) 4x10 ampeg cab w/ horn 1x15 ampeg cab It is a few years old, seen some gig time and has just been refurbished by the store about a week ago. The shop hasn't got back to me yet if they are B series or SVT series cabs, but they are wanting £1100 for the lot. If the cabs are SVT series is this a fair price to pay? and if they are B series is this a fair price to pay? Thanks in advance for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the amp the current model? If the 4x10 is the Classic (SVT410HE) is it the 200w or 500w model? Refurbished? What did they have to do?

jamjarjay Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 I believe it is the 500w model. And by refurbished I mean they checked it over and generally gave it some TLC. Nothing major, they didn't replace the tubes as they had just been replaced by the previous owner. It's in good nick, some minor surface scratches on the cases but nothing more. And i think it's about 3 years old. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Assuming Classic (SVT) cabs, it's probably a high average for a shop. Depends on the condition and history, really. Offer them £50 less for cash? The new prices from GAK is about £1500 and Thomann is about £1440. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodl2005 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) also see if it's a SVT410HLF - they're a great cab. SVT15E is a good 'un too! Really need to know which. The 410HLF IS 500w so it might be that one! I know from personal experience That cab is 500w & is GREAT BUT it's 4 ohms & the SVT3PRO only goes down to 4 ohms.....so U wanna hope it aint that cab & is an 8 ohm cab, & so is the 15"-so U can run 'em both for full power!!! One thing-with the 3pro-many say it's a quiet sounding 450w amp & it can be(I found it plenty tho) BUT if U find U need more volume-(headroom)- engage the Graphic EQ-keep all the EQ sliders flat if U dont wanna change the tone- but slide the graphic EQ LEVEL slider-far right side one- all the way up!!!!! This Makes the 3PRO SOUND like the 450w amp that it is! Doesn't hurt it at all either! I did this w/ mine anytime I needed more headroom-which wasn't often! Good luck.
