I bought this in mid-2020 as lockdown forced me to produce all my educational content online. It enabled me to not only exclude external noise but also to have a very nicely controlled room acoustically. We're moving house and as part of that move I'm anticipating a larger studio build. As I'm going to have to dismantle and move the sound booth anyway, and as I suspect that in reality I won't be rebuilding it anytime soon if at all, seems it might a good idea to sell it now. It's great for recording vocals whether sung or spoken, loud instruments (brass) and even drums assuming your drummist is happy with a pretty small kit (PS that's my daughter's kit and not currently set up to play before any drummists comment!!). Also very good for DB as while the room is arguably a little dead for DB it does at least control the things that can make recording DB such a pain, it's easier to introduce some wanted ambience in the mix than get rid of the unwanted ambience in a room (DB in the photos is a very large 4/4 BTW). It's also a very useful rehearsal space if you have close neighbours (I know of an orchestral trumpet player who has one of these in his London flat for practice). Obviously it would be collection only and would require a van or large estate car. I'll take some more photos once I've clear the area around it. Happy to talk trades on this also 👍 Booth Size: 1.6m x 1.6m x 2.05m · Double thickness walls (44mm) · Acoustic foam (internal) · Acoustic grey carpet liner (internal + external) · Fan assisted active ventilation · LED downlight with ceiling ambient rgbw glow · Door glazed with multilayer acoustic designed glass · Wireless power remotes for lights and ventilation

This really is special, in my five string days this would have ticked every single box for me, in fact I suspect it still does 👍

If there's anyone out there wondering "Wy do all the old farts go on about big and heavy tube amps all the time when there are so many high quality lightweight and compact bass amps on the market", right here is the answer. Once you have played through an SVT-II, while other amps might sound close, they will never be close enough

Unlike you it would seem 😀

Tell me about it, although I was never a pedals man which probably saved me quite a lot of pain and cash 👍

Well I now have an incoming Precision, trades on this for a decent head, cab or combo certainly considered, especially if the item in question contains either of the words 'Boogie' and 'Mesa', not necessarily in that order 👍

Hey Ian, that is a very kind offer, many many thanks. To be honest, much as I love the band and the guys in the band - three of my best mates in fact - the gigs are not a great idea in terms of band-audience fit (it's a quite shouty and loud blues rock band think QOTSA/Raconteurs/Black Keys, and one of the proposed gigs is a bloody wedding, and not just any wedding, but the wedding of a friend we know doesn't like this type of music! OK, the same band did a wedding about 10 years ago and got away with it but the happy couple did actually like bluesy rock)! And of course, if I was going to do the gigs I'd need the SVT back 😀

Nice 👌
