symcbass Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) 90's American made SVT3PRO. Bought by me new from Sound Control Otago Street Glasgow, many years ago now, flightcased ever since, amazing A1 condition. Only ever used for upright bass. Tubes changed middle of 2007. Never had any issues whatsoever with this head, It has always been 100% reliable. Buying a bigger rig, wish I could keep this, It sounds so much better than the new ones, but can't justify It. Any test/inspection welcome. A1 condition. Welcome to try out, cabs here at home to try out with your bass.. Would prefer local sale, I'm near Glasgow. Looking for £375 ono as I need to raise funds quickly to pay for my new EA rig. Sale is for Amp only, does not include rack case.

I live in Worcester (Midlands) so it's a long drive.. Also is it 450 watts - is that not enough? we play small clubs big pubs with a LOUD drummer (not through PA) Ta Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put my SVT 3 through my Epifani 4x10 and it's very loud and if I add the Boogie 115 it keeps up in the loudest band. If you like the amp maybe you need a better, more sensitive cab?

symcbass Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 I've just found with upright, I needed more power for our loud gigs. Currently using an Iamp800, this does the job with the upright. I've used an Aggy db410, Trace 410, Ampeg 410 now using a GS 412, loud yes, but the Iamp just does the louder upright job better. Sorry man, don't get down South much.

I know the new models that are not made in the USA are almost double this, but you might have to drop the price a little. Unfortunately its a bad time to sell gear; there are some very good bargains in the for sale section that still haven't shifted. The economic situation has meant everything is selling dirt cheap. Keep it up and lower the price maybe It'll eventually find a home. I will add this amp looks like its been very looked after. Im shocked a USA bit of kit like this hasn't shifted. I also struggled to sell Ampeg gear. Edited July 13, 2009 by Musicman20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I just got a US made SVT 5 for £370, it's a bad time to sell, I wish I had the cash I'd have this as a back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symcbass Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'd take a decent offer for It just now. It's in A1 condition, looked after very well from day 1, and US made. I thought It would sell no probs, after seeing others sell for the same price on here. Some places are looking for nearly a grand for this now.... and They are Vietnam made. A shop in Glagow was looking for £600 for a used one early in the year, and that was a newer one...................... I'll just need keep It on. As I said I'll take a decent offer, or an interesting trade. SSSSSKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinJazzBass Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 It is a great price mate for a quality piece of kit. If i had the money I would have your hand off in a second and if i do come about the funds you will be the very first to know (how do I extend my overdraft for the third time? lol). Have a bump on me. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
