Mk1 Yamaha Trb5 or 5p - second hand £500 for a top quality one.

yeah, see where you are going with that. mines of the shelf is the dogs too, love it to bits just a little sirprised by the older version. andy

Morning folks. Two weeks ago I bought a second hand Ampeg SVT 3pro (I have two now) from Soundcontrol Edinburgh. It had been repaired for a customer who didn't collect and had been sitting in the shop for two years. I got it for £250 with a 4u rack included. It is the model before the latest incarnation, the one with the blue writing, and in fairly good condition. When I got it home, I decided to re-tube it. I practiced with it properly for the first time yesterday and found it to be the most growly sumnabitch full on rock amp I've ever used - completely different from my other SVT 3pro - of which, left me wondering how this could be? I changed the sovtek tubes for sovtek tubes ecc83, the only difference was I changed the philips ecc82 for a Russian made (sovtek?) ecc82. So my question to all you out there who have had the pleasure of owning and using an SVT 3pro new and old: did you notice any difference between these revisions? It's very odd as I would have expected the newer SVT 3pro to be better!? granted it's much more refined and clear but why such a difference? andy

that is very appealing!

me too! change the pup for a dimarzio model one!

hi chris no probs with that at all. looking at the bass, looks like a badass II, ts scrtchplate and seymour duncan pups? if so that amounts to about 75% of the selling price! what a bargain for someone.

defo +1 for the yamaha trb 5 option. [url="http://www.bebo.com/PhotoAlbumBig.jsp?MemberId=3831740361&PhotoAlbumId=7063649222&PhotoId=7063653376"]http://www.bebo.com/PhotoAlbumBig.jsp?Memb...toId=7063653376[/url]

I'm certain I had the guitar version of that bass - the make was egbert! andy

Thornybank has one pretty cheap, pm him. andy

anyone know who makes the valves for the 3 pro? cheers andy

check through previous threads and post in discussion forum because I recall some members having issues with thier new evo 2 just after purchase. cheers andy

I have two of these cabs. they are 500w, sound superb and matched with my svt 3pro (450w) give loads of volume. have you checked your: leads? iec cable? bass - if its active battery could be gone? does your amp have an ohms selector witch? an ashdown evo should power this no probs - try with another amp. the only other thing I could think of is that the output channel fuses may be on their way out on the evo. it is an easy fix if this is the case. andy

is it b series or svt? andy

[quote name='lowhand_mike' post='195543' date='May 9 2008, 04:44 PM']hmm, yeah as far as i was aware the speakers were made by an italian company (don't know who though) well here are 2 screen grabs from ashdowns website of the mag and the abm 10" drivers from the 2x10 combos, they certainly look different [attachment=8553:Picture_1.png] abm [attachment=8554:Picture_2.png] mag[/quote] so I see, however, the speakers in my mag 810 were the same as in pic 1.

go to sound control and haggle over the full range ampeg b410hlf cab its awsome! then sell your peavey cabs. adny
