  1.  

    2 months old bought from Bassdirect for £160.  Selling for £130 including  next day delivery due to me being skint and needing to buy my daughter a birthday present! They have had max 3 hours playing time. Absolutely amazing pickups with so much depth of tone and grunt, nothing else comes close to these!!! This is the Standard Alnico V version. 

    Wish i didn't have to do this :( 

    Cheers

  2. Ok, very very begrudgingly i am putting my beloved USA Ampeg SVT2 Pro up for sale, simply because i have found something equally as heavy and grunty that fits my band and me a little more than the Ampeg does at this moment in time.  (which i never  though i would hear myself say). This amp has served me well over the last few years and has never skipped a beat. It has done probably 40+ shows with me since i have had it and is a real tour grade monster. 

    It has just come out of a service from Aston Electronics in Stone (Staffs) with a new set of Tung Sol 6550 power tubes and a full check over and clean bill of health. 

    It comes with a Rhino live in flight case that is as tough as the amp itself. This thing is not light. i repeat, not light. Weighs in at about 47kg with the case. Its never been a problem for me as i tour with a van, have band mates to help load it and the biggest sound on the planet is worth carrying. 

    I will not courier this bad boy, i want the buyer to come to Stoke on Trent to pick it up from my studio so they can check it all out and be happy before going away and living a better life knowing that you now own the greatest amp of all time. Either that or can happily look at meeting within a distance. I travelled from Gloucester to Newcastle upon Tyne then back to Stoke to get this thing when i got it!

    Awesome mate, I'll come by and say hello, i'm Will from the band Ballsdeep. Gonna be ano ace weekend!!

  5. Yup i'm with you on this one. It's gonna take one hell of an amp to knock the SVT2 off its perch. I honestly dont think it will come as people are happy to compromise for the weight saving and manufacturers clearly know this so will continue to build them like this.

    Stick a power stage out of the new Crown Macro-Tech I series in one and then we will talk and i will continue to use my muscles :)
