Ampeg SVT-112 AV

£225      (Best new price seems to be about £450)

Generally good condition, a few marks on the covering and corners that I have tried to show.   Nothing serious and a good solid cab. Only used in the last 2/3 years as a back up.

Very manageable weight wise, with the one handle, can be used landscape or portrait.

3 way switch for the Tweeter.

I'm based Stockport (south Manchester)

Details from the Ampeg website below:

The Ampeg SVT-112AV bass enclosure delivers pure Ampeg tone in a ported cabinet design that bridges the gap between the fast transient response you want and the rich low end you deserve.

The SVT-112AV features a 12″ custom Eminence® LF driver and a 1″ compression driver with 3-way level control in a rugged cab with vintage Ampeg styling. 

Rated to handle 300W RMS at 8ohms, the SVT-112AV is a great match with the V-4B, PF-350, Micro-VR or for integrating with other Ampeg cabs in your rig. 

Please could you confirm the weight?

Thanks

Yes, they are great little amps and as you say the Taste control is very useful.

Gorgeous looking Bass with great build quality.

Excellent cond. Absolutely no bumps or scratches, no wear to frets, almost as new.

Lovely action, plays great

Overloaded with 5ers at that the moment, so it's not getting much use

Collection preferred but I have a case (with a broken zip) I can post it in.  

What Tkenrick says. One finger per fret not the way to go for a lot of playing.

Great deal for what apart from a small area of scratches (shown in photo) is like a new Bass.

Excellent condition with the exception of the scratches on the top shoulder(not visible from the front) as shown in pics.

Strung B-G, 34" scale. Great action and balance.

This is the 2nd one of these I have had and they play great. The 1st one was too heavy for me and
although this isn't a light Bass (about the same weight as my other 5 stringers) it feels very comfortable - about 10.5lbs on the bathroom scales.

Comes with Sandberg case and tools.

I am based in Manchester but willing to post at cost.

The Latin Bass book. By Oscar Stagnaro, pub. Sher Music.

Although not strictly a tuition book it is an amazing resource. Not a tab in sight, 3 CDs full of fantastic backing tracks.
You can either try to play the charts exactly as they are or or just take the feel and play your own thing over the chords.

Have used a Hiscox quite a few times and never had any problems

Position your music stand off to your left (presuming you are right handed) rather than straight in front of you, that way you minimise the distance your eyes have to jump from the page to your fretting hand.

Good advice, but I'm not sure trying to learn to read on fretless is the way forward. It would best to stick to fretted as reading on fretless is difficult even for accomplished players and readers.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1472156524' post='3119029']


Not necessarily.

Notes, and rhythm are common to all instruments, pianists, trombone, bassoon, tuba, cello, double bassists would all read bass clef. My second year at uni, my reading class lecturer was a pianist.

In fact it was a violin teacher taught me to read music.

Well true to a certain extent. But a bassoon player will not be able to tell you which is the best position to start in and where there are 2 or 3 ways to play a phrase they won't have a clue. Also with reading on Bass or any other rhythm section instrument interpretation is very important as opposed to being able to read the part 100% accurately - would a trombone player be able to help you with that? I don't think so.

Find a teacher in your local area, it doesn't haver to be a bass player.

You're never too old to learn to read.

It does have to be a bass guitar teacher

Any ideas on what trades you might be interested in.

A very concise, easy to understand and accurate answer to the OP's reasonable question - say no more.......
