Decided to sell this superb Ampeg Svt212av cab as I’m now using all Ashdown cabs and haven’t room to keep all of them.
Purchased new in Dec 2021 so still like new condition and comes with a Roqsolid cover worth £60
The cab is a loud 212 plus tweeter 4ohm cab rated to 600w and is a great single cab solution.
This is one of the best sounding Ampeg cabs and although not super light ( approx 28kg ) it’s not too bad lifting and moving around.
I have original Ampeg box so can pack and allow you to arrange a suitable courier to collect from my home address or you can collect in person from Suffolk.
Be sad to see it go but haven’t got room for this and my other bass gear
Withdrawn from sale .. decided to keep
Will use the Ampeg 212 on certain gigs and rehearsals and the two Ashdown cabs on gigs and larger venues … what a dilemma choosing this or a 115H cab
I like the 115H cab but I’m working on the 210 sounds nice, two of them will sound nicer !!
Having recently obtained a nice second hand ABM210H cab I’ve just ordered a second ABM210H cab to stack on top to make a two cab rig
PMT were very helpful and did a good deal .. will also give me more cab height too !
My experience with compressors on amps is they are very average
But saying that I don’t play slap etc which I think is the main style that compression really helps
Ive toyed with the idea of a new compressor pedal but always find a reason not to buy one as I avoid pedals mostly !
My Ampeg SVT CL 300w head was perceivably louder than my ABM600 head.
Ive always thought the V4B 100w head would be nice but I fear it hasn’t got the volume for a very loud rock band ( not using PA )
Just had the hand trolley arrive and I’m impressed to how it is.
Very strong but light and folds down really small
Good sized wheels for gravel drives etc and makes moving heavy cabs a breeze.
Ideally you need to use a strap to keep the load from moving but I think this is worth the investment
I think it would do a fine job. It has an authority to its sound ( strong sounding punch )
Probably not as deep as a large 15” cab but for a good all round cab it’s very nice.
It also has a decent tweeter on it for adding a little zing which can be on high low or off.
Finally it’s a lovely looking cab
I would imagine two of these would be a huge sound.
I play with a loud heavy hitting drummer and a guitarist using a 4x12 Marshall and 50w valve head.
We are loud without PA support ( old school rock band ) and it works
I have my Roksak large bag still but don’t use it anymore and did consider selling it but for £34 delivered it didn’t seem worth it .. are you near Suffolk ?
I had my RM800 in it
My Ampeg Svt212av cab weighs 30kg approx ( twice the weight of my old Ashdown ProNeo cabs )
The sound I can get with this one cab makes the heavy lifting worth it
I can lift and walk with this cab for a sensible distance .. boot of car to rehearsal hall and back to house etc but in the event it’s further I think the £65 barrow will be well worth the price and I get the sound I prefer too
Lifting isn’t a problem for me but carrying my cab across a car park etc is hard going hence the trolley.
Stairs makes it harder at venues but we can handle those !
I just don’t like screwing castors to the bottom of cabs so that plans out.
Tried a “ dolly” but terrible over gravel etc etc
I would much prefer to haul a heavy great sounding rig compared to a lightweight rig that lacks the desired punch and volume
I found the same and I also missed the rougher string surface when playing faster stuff ( from a plucking / picking point of view )
Im liking the RS66LD strings on my rehearsal bass they do really sound growly
