  1. [quote name='Arrakis' post='855159' date='Jun 2 2010, 06:06 PM']Hi people I've just joined Bass Chat so hello!

    I've decided to sell my Ampeg SVT CL the main reason is because I have an original Matamp Bass 200 and cant afford to have two high end bass amps and as I'm never going to sell the Matamp it looks like my Ampeg is on the chopping block.

    So about the amp. The amp has been well looked after with regular services from Panic Music who as you probably know are the UK Ampeg Distributors. Its a standard Black SVT CL. Its been gigged but all the covering is in good shape and still looks fantastic, its in totally sound condition.

    I'm looking for 800 pounds for it.

    I'm based in Brighon, and if you need references as obviously I'm new here I have had good transactions over at the D*A*M forum under the same screen name.

    The Matamp is not for sale and sorry for the not so good phone pic

    Welcome to the forum!

    First of all, how old is it andddd how long ago were the valves last replaced, if ever?

    Would you consider swopping it for a 5 month old AD200b that's never left the house?, easily saleable!

  2. I've had a proper look at the bass and took some pictures.

    The paint apart from that stated below is perfect, no swirl marks or even little scratches. All standard Sandberg refinements. Sounds beautiful (have a look through the forum for reviews ect)

    Bad points (being ruthless) ...

    Pre amp battery compartment cover: The two bits where it clips in have snapped, still clips in but doesn't fully close. (Cheap fix which I'll do if it takes a while to sell)

    Two hairline cracks and a tiny shallow chip on the headstock. (as shown below)

    Little dink towards the very bottom of the neck.

    Specs here: [url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-overview/calj-series/caljmsupreme"]http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-ove...es/caljmsupreme[/url]

    Please note this has the Delano pickups.

    Could do with a new set of strings and a set up (little bit rattly on the first three frets)

    Comes with Sandberg gigbag

    Thanks for looking.













    Will take £600

    Thanks.

  3. I've had my JM4 for a couple of months now and up until now I had only played it through my AD200b + 410hlf. I've started keeping the head in my room so no one could mess around with it when I'm not there. So my house mate has gone out and bough a Marshall MB4210 for band pracs because he was using my setup.

    Obviously we had to compare, different combination's of gear ect. He uses an Epi Tbird, I'd go as far as saying the Marshall is worth the money for the price. The modern channel is god damn awful (imo) but the classic channel is good. It has one ECC83 pre amp valve that gives it a little bit of growl which is a nice tone for the price. (This is using the Tbird).

    So then I plug in the Sandberg ...

    S**t Son!! It sounded so damn nice (obviously not on par with my Orange). I didn't realise until now how much of a difference a decent bass makes to the tone. Plugging into the Orange there's already an amazing tone there, the bass just adds its own characteristics to the tone. Through a cheap amp you can really appreciate the quality and the tone just from the bass without aid of an expensive amp.

    Anyway, I will be quiet now!
