Paddy515 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I must say I'm quite excited by the prospect of a new to me Ampeg SVT 2. Bought through Gtree from a very helpfull guy up north. He sent me a good demo video but he only had a guitar to play through it. What should I expect come Monday - delivery day!!! Even if the head seems to perform well, should I get a service done straight away just to be on the safe side? Included is a copy of the advert. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-bass-amplifiers/sold-ampeg-svt-ii-non-pro-all-tube-bass-amp/1312485002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Looks good! Great price too, so assuming you love the sound it makes / plan on keeping it (which I'm sure you will!) I would use some of the saving and get an amp tech to give it the once over. Good luck , nice one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbowskill Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Mental price, hope it's not a clanger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy515 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Head back from the tec today. He had a good root round and changed a diode which was in the process of burning through - it is 26 years old. And that was it - £30, thanks very much!!! Has 6 Mesa tubes fitted by a previous owner not so long ago. Sounds like an earthquake now through 2 x SVT 115Es. Happy days!!!

danbowskill Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Happy for you Paddy. I've had a couple of CL heads ( not the svt2) and you just cannot better the All valve ampeg sound imo. And man! What a price 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
