I'm selling my Ampeg V4BH all valve bass amp.
I bought it from doctorbass on the forum a couple of weeks ago, it sounds absolutely stunning but I need more volume for the kind of gigs I'm doing, our drummer is particularly loud and it's not quite got the power I need, the Orange Terror bass I've picked up doesn't sound as good but it's far enough in the right direction for me at the moment.
This thing is basically an SVT classic with a smaller power section, so you can crank it for some excellent tube overdrive without being at bowel loosening volume levels - plus it weighs half as much.
This particular amp is in Ampeg's 'AV' livery but is otherwise identical to the more common blackface models, it's in great condition and perfect working order.
Due to it's weight I'm going to offer it for collection only, although I could possibly meet the buyer somewhere closer.
I'm based in Brighton but make regular trips to Rayne/Braintree in Essex.
From the serial number, it looks like it was made in 2005
I'm after £450, which is pretty much what I paid for it.
I'm interested in trades for a 4 string jazz bass, or possibly a precision - let me know what you've got.
Cheers!
Russ
