[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1459673703' post='3018466'] Good Lord... I wish you hadn't divulged this information. It's even worth the schlep up north. Thinkofyourherniathinkofyourherniathinkofyourherniathinkofyourherniathinkofyourhernia... keep repeating and move slowly away from the thread. I'm sure a nice Barefaced cab would be better for me, honestly!! A bargain for a Scot with a Scrotum of Steel! [/quote] Lol aye my scrot has definitely reduced in size and fortitude in last few years. Good bargain for someone 😎

Whilst in Edinburgh city centre yesterday, I visited Duncanson's pawn shop. They always have a great window display of guitars and related tech. I noticed they had an ampeg classic on display reduced from £1250 to £841, it is in pristine condition but too pricey however, I went inside and found the matching cab there too. The lady on sales spoke to me about it for a while and then dropped the bombshell or opportunity ... AMPEG SVT CLASSIC AND MATCHING 8x10e cab together for £841 😱 Thought I'd pass it on so, here's the link to shop. http://www.duncansonedwards.co.uk/pawnbroking.html

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1459012542' post='3012878'] The LH heads were never designed to distort just have masses of clean head room - actually something I preferred them for. [/quote] For this very reason, the LH series is the best plug and play amp I have ever used. No hiding with them at all and that eq?? Lol awesome! Given the price they go for used, I wouldn't think twice about buying one should the need arise.

I had a v4 mk1 220w beast! It was just a turn on monster of a valve amp. However, it had little issues too as mentioned above re thin sounding after a while and some control issue. I got it serviced and was told by the tech that they were definitely not designed for the road. Cicuit boards and soldering were a bit suspect. I guess this will be the same with most modern valve amps that are not point to point soldered. Loved my SVT Classic more though but the weight ... wow! I love valve amps and couldn't live without one therefore and as I'm nearly 50, I've compromised and now own two small ashdown valve heads: CTM-15 & LB30. Awesome 😎

I always put one of [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Genuine-Fender-Deluxe-Bass-Upgrade-Bridge-CHROME-005-8396-000-/361517694781?hash=item542c223f3d:g:c~AAAOSwAuNW4aux"]these[/url] on my precisions as I think they are stunning, solid and create a lovely string tone. Cheap enough to bring in from America too.

Hi ye all Hopefully someone will know the answer to my question. As per the [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/Bass-Amplification/1/Valve/11/Little-Bastard-/"]Ashdown[/url] website, the LB30 has a 12ax7 (83) and an 12au7 (82) however, when checking how to disassemble it to change the valves, it appears as though there maybe 3 preamp valves?? See link to image below: https://ampstack.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/dscf1465.jpg Can any one shed light on this as I've ordered the 83 and 82 as well as a matched set of EL84s - all electro-harmonix? Feels like I've missed something now cheers all Andy

What a gentleman easy transaction and superb item! Always a pleasure. Andy

Just sold my all valve Ampeg SVT-CL to Jon, brill guy, great comms and an absolute pleasure to do business with Enjoy the monster!! Andy

Delivered, fitted and operating normally 😎

[quote name='stoo' timestamp='1453115018' post='2956397'] Strings and Things list them on their website.... Not sure if you'd need to send your old part in exchange though [url="http://www.ernieball.co.uk/k/search?q=stingray+preamp&x=0&y=0"]http://www.ernieball...+preamp&x=0&y=0[/url] [/quote] Had a wee look and don't seem to have a 3band eq plus, would like to see if just the circuitry or pots and input included.

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1453114692' post='2956395'] Is it a two band or 3 band pre? [/quote] its a three band
