    Now THATS a bass rig 👌

    Im still to find a 'lightweight' amp or cab that fully captures MY sound. An ampeg valve amp into a sealed cab. Ive tried so many pedals, class d etc etc and it just isnt there yet for me

    Well, looks like as I suspected I might need to shell out on some power valves. Trying to bias it up to the amount stated on the chasis but even at maxed out the trim pot it doesn't appear to be enough. 3 of the valves do look like they are pretty old Svetlana's whilst the other three look like newer Marshall branded 6550. I see I can pick up a pack of 6 x Bugera 6550's for £150 but no reviews or comments on them anywhere. Might pay the bit extra for Sovtek or JJ's?

    Looks like I need to learn the bias procedure on these. I fired it up through an Ampeg SVT212 AV and the amp is very quiet even with volume cranked - well maybe not VERY quiet but certainly not SVT loud. There is also quite a bit of hum coming from the amp at idle so ill need to dig around online and find the biasing video ive seen before.

    Yes, finally got my hands on one....er two @Bankai. The one on the left is fully working/serviced but the one on the right is spares/repair. The seller wouldnt split so im flipping the broken one as is.

    My cab should be here in the next day or two (finally) so testing back to normal rather than lugging your cab over
  8. Pow_22
    Certainly is, luckily 6L6GCs are reasonably cheap, this set set me back around £120 as opposed to the £200+ you are talking to revalve an SVT’s power section

    New as of yet ‘undisclosed’ toy incoming. 2 x Ampeg SVT II non pro’s.  One working which will be kept and one spares/repairs that will be moved on

    Yes, sorry I forgot to update the ad. Using luggage scales and hanging the bass by its strap im getting a gnats hair over 10lb give or take for the crude method
  11. Pow_22
    Er so, the mrs may kill me for this when she finds out but i cut a deal with the seller. Anyone want an SVT II non pro project? 🤣

    @3below kindly PM'd me the following info putting my rushed ad to shame :). I will try and pad out the ad with more info as ive kinda rushed it in my giddyness at the 'something special' which has come up Dimensions: 41 x 32.5 x 12.5 [cm]. Weight: 16.6 [kg]
  13. Pow_22
    The offer i had accepted from the 'gone quiet/never showed up' buyer was £625, happy to accept same offer from other BCers (accepted offer was via facebook marketplace i must ad, never encountered such timewasting on here)

    Peavey Alphabass - 160w valve bass amp with 2ohm and 4ohm ouputs. Comes with Peavey rackbag. I sourced original knobs for this as part of a restoration. Power valves are matched JJ 6L6GC from hotrox and have around 5hrs use. The preamp valves are original Brimars. Amp works perfectly with an excellent DI for bigger venues (not that 160 valve watts should need FOH help!) Pictures show fan removed as i have bought a rubber gasket to sit between the fan and amp shell to reduce noise. This will all be fully fitted before collection for you. Collection only from Bolton. Trials welcome but you’ll need to bring your own suitable cab as mine is still at our locked down studio space. Have basses to use tho. Only selling as something special has come up. If that goes ill be withdrawing this

    So the fan in my Peavey Alphabass is a little noisy, not noticable when playing but as a cheap component I thought id replace it. The original looks like a 80mm AC 230v fan. Are there any other specs id need to match when sourcing a replacement? Our local PC store has what looks like good replacements for literally £2-£3. I just want to make sure that other than size, AC and power consumption theres nothing else i need to take into consideration? Here is a pic or the original:-

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USA-MADE-AMPEG-SVTII-NON-PRO-BASS-AMP-DONOR-SPARE/333640102706?hash=item4dae7ff332:g:VmcAAOSwSwte-xo2 Just gone up for sale near me AND local. One supposedly fully working the other one as spares. Did message and say id be interested in the spares one as a project and as im local would collect but he wants to sell together. Either way this could be a good price for 2 of these beasts. Anyone wanna go in on a deal?

    ON HOLD PENDING USUAL

    Id say £500 isnt miles away. If its the one from Amp Broker it will be fully serviced too. I paid £250 for mine in a non working state so by the time id sourced original peavey knobs, full new set of power valves, peavey 3u rackbag then im probably not THAT far off £500 and the one on reverb looks in better cosmetic nick than mine
  19. Pow_22
    I have been tempted to part with it a couple of times, even listing it here once but when i plug it in a just cant part with it. Always wanted an Ampeg V4B (had a V4BH) and I guess thats the only thing i might let it go for.

    Needed a less clean one to match my roadworn bass. Sourced one of here so the mintier one is available. No screws im afraid but everything works as it should. £20 delivered in the UK
  22. Pow_22
    Yup, I have one (might've been my old post you saw). Lovely amp and just at the right wattage to be able to drive the valves without ever wanting for clean headroom. Not massively heavy compared to other valve heads. Can be had for a decent price and doesn't cost the earth to revalve. Heres a few shots of mine
  23. Pow_22
    Big ol' heavy duty rack case with butterfly catches on the removeable front and back lids. Big spring loaded carrying handles to sides and front/back. Rubber feet on bottom for placing on top of cab. Collection only as decent size and weight. Pics to follow asap

    Price drop to £650 and an update on the strings. The bass was wearing Olympia flats but last night the G snapped at the tuner. So i strung her up with a used set of my fave Elites flats and the difference is fantastic. More thump and a bit more ‘open’. Sounded great through my Ampeg B50R

    Thats just filth! 😛😛😛😛
