Sold to Mr Waynepunkdude – great bloke, everytime we spoke on the phone to confirm arrangements ended up chatting for well over half an hour about all things bass and many other things! As regards to the warming up issue – when I first bought the amp I took it to a qualified amp tech mate of mine to check that it was OK and to see if he could sort out the start up problem. He said that the amp was generally fine but to fix the start up issue would be expensive unless he could get hold of a diagram (Ampeg do not make their schematics readily available). He also said that it was a problem that I could live with easily enough if I just let the amp warm up for 5 minutes before plugging in. I have to say that it was never an issue in all the gigs and rehearsals that I used it for. I believe that Wayne sought advice about this from a company that used to distribute Ampeg and was told that it was a known problem that had something to do with the amp’s start up protection routine (I think that I’ve got that right). To fix it requires a factory repair, which of course would not be cheap (I believe that Wayne is considering it). Obviously I let everyone know that it had this issue and reflected it in the price that I asked (£370 for an amp that I believe cost over £1.5k new). Equally I bought the amp for a very reasonable price, knowing of this issue and that the price I paid reflected this…… Cheers – Pete

Sold to psychoandy - cheers mate!

Open to any kind of trades for this'un Pete? Mike[/quote] Sorry, no trades Already bought it's replacement and need the money to pay for it! Cheers - Pete

Jesus - isn't £100 near enough giving it away! Seriously Mods - if this isn't an appropriate place to sell this item please feel free to remove the thread (apologies for doing the bloke thing and not reading the guidelines) Cheers - Pete

Having a bit of a clear out and I’m reluctantly selling my hi-fi separates system for £100 Comprises of: Sansui CD-X111 CD player Sansui D-X111DX stereo cassette deck Sansui AU-x111 stereo amp Acoustic Solutions tower speakers – 260w Black hi-fi stand / shelving unit Great separates system but I don't really got the room for it – the speakers and the stand will be worth well over the asking price on their own, yet alone the quality hi-fi units themselves Pick up only from Bradford (West Yorkshire) Cheers – Pete

Having a bit of a clear out and selling my Trace Elliot BLX-80 practice amp for £70 Please note that this amp has an intermittent hum that needs looking at that I haven’t got round to fixing – hence the low price! I’m guessing it won’t take too much to sort out thru I’m not really an expert in these matters Cracking little practice amp with a great tone but underused unfortunately so hopefully it will find a good home with someone on here Cheers – Pete

[quote name='Kongo' post='503145' date='Jun 1 2009, 06:31 PM']Hmmm interesting...And that 1350Watts is genuine? Bloody hell is that mono? @ what ohms? Problem with the SVT-3 was it was only pumping 275watts @ 8 ohms and the volume was only trickling in as I dialed it in...This is MUCH bigger and better.[/quote] Never turned it anywhere near full for fear of blowing my very powerful SWR 6x10 cab - it is certainly very loud! The 1350 watts is bridged mono @ 4 ohms You can download the users guide from the Ampeg site if you want the technical details

Having a bit of a clear out and have a pair of Peavey HiSis2 PA cabs for sale for £150 the pair Each cab is rated @ 350w RMS (I googled it to check) and has a 15” speaker and a large horn (missus)! A bit old fashioned these days but would still be great for a rehearsal room, pub gigs, for a DJ, etc Haven’t plugged ‘em for 5 years but they worked well enough then and have been stored in a warm dry place and seem in pretty reasonable nick! Would prefer a pick up from Bradford but would be prepared to deliver for the price of the petrol if not too far away Cheers – Pete

[quote name='Kongo' post='500498' date='May 29 2009, 01:10 AM']I can't get anything out of the Ampeg's I've tried. Tonight I used an SVT-3 for the first time in a few months...Again, had to crank it A LOT to get any decent level and I tried anything. How does this fare against the SVT-3? Gotta admit...it looks more uber...Just asking for comparisons like as I can't crack it. EDIT: OMG how much wattage!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL said head I used tonight is nothing on this![/quote] Never owned an SVT 3 so I can't really say too much but from judging from mates who have had them I would say that the SVT 5 has the same basic sound but MUCH louder and therefore obviously more headroom In addition it has the extra power amp options (dual separate power amps for true stereo or bi-amping, etc) if you need them as well as an overdrive channel and onboard compression and octaver effect I've always used it bridged into a 6x10 cab - tend to think of it as an instant dug pinnock sound if you press both the ultra low & ultra low high boost buttons

Been offered a good deal on some light weight gear and so need some funds quickly, hence a drop in price to £370 I also have a pro quality flight case available for an extra £50 if required
