Reggaebass Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) I’m happy with my setup but this is very nice https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325448695550?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=qKbpldVaTZO&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=1wDkd4CjTIi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Edited November 9, 2023 by Reggaebass 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I used to own one, it was nice, but the PF-50 and fliptop cab get close for around 10% of the price 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunion Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 That’s been on there for awhile, I was looking for an original for a long time but I’ve just decided now one will turn up eventually 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowf Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 According to Google, “very cool Ampeg” is actually a tautology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience no, but as the cooling fans they use seem to expend most of their energy on being really LOUD, you could be forgiven for thinking so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 Didn’t know they had a fan, that’s good to know as I don’t use any amps now with fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowf Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Ok, I’ve got an old SVT (this will be buried with me) and a new one of those mini stack things (for a practice amp). They both have loud fans. I’d love a B15 but can’t justify it (and that’s coming from a guy with 12 basses and no gigs…) My point was that all Ampegs are cool.

prowla Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I thought it was going to be a 5W one I saw for sale either on ebay or FB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunion Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Mines humming away at the moment there’s something solid about the sound it makes when you flick it on that’s tells you it means business 😄 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Thanks, I’m very happy with my V-4B but just wondered what would be an upgrade if I was being greedy 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunion Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I think any of the 300w valves for you for headroom and more punch. luxury would be a skunk works most likely but rare and expensive 😄 You could buy one of my SVT’s though it’ll certainly blow your socks off if you use the same volume settings as the V-4B probably knock the front rows innards sideways too 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Quick ampeg question, I was looking the Ampeg SVT 2 Pro but I don’t like the front panel where the slots are for the bolts at the ends , do they do anything to cover these or a housing that looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 What a great looking setup here , unfortunately miles away from me but if you’re near Cardiff it might be worth watching https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235254930253?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=XQxmGT1zS5e&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1wDkd4CjTIi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 If you like the B15 there’s an interesting video here you might enjoy, quite informative I thought ,and the end part has made me dig out my PF50T for tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
