Ampeg PF-50t All Valve Head with padded bag ON HOLD - *SOLD* £485 NW Wilts / W Berks

[Cat Burrito]

The amp I thought I would never sell. Bought from new when they came out and very well looked after. It was serviced professionally prior to going into storage and has sat under my stairs in a gig bag since 2019. When I bought it I was active on the Americana scene and playing in a CCR tribute so the tone was perfect. Don't be fooled by the 50 watts either, the CCR band had THE loudest drummer and THE loudest guitarist I have ever worked with (& I played in a lot of punk bands in my teens and 20s) and it always held up. 

 

On a Basschat tip-off there was a drum pedal bag that fitted this perfectly that I customised with Ampeg patches. This really is a cool slice of modern retro. Going new between £800 - £1000 (& usually closer to the £1k mark), this is priced to sell.

General

The Ampeg PF-50T is a thoroughbred tube amp for demanding bass guitarists. Equipped with two X7 preamp tubes as well as one 12AU7 and two 6L6 power amp tubes, this portable bass amp delivers 50 watts of pure bass power at 4 or 8 ohms. Bass, mid and treble knobs give you control over your core sound, and the centre point of the mid range frequency can be adjusted in five steps. A simple push of a button provides you with an ultra low or high boost, and an input gain control is also at your disposal.

 

Ampeg PF-50T: a studio-grade tone

With the PF-50T, Ampeg has issued an all-tube bass amp that meets all the demands an advanced bassist could possibly have. To ensure optimal diversity, the bass head has a preamp balanced line out (DI) with Pre/Post EQ, and a transformer balanced line out, with a ground lift option, of course. Adjustable bias control allows you to replace the tubes. Remarkably, this all-tube bass beast weighs only 8.8 kilos. Its sound, meanwhile, is everything you'd expect from an Ampeg Portaflex: rich in harmony and worthy of a place in the studio.

I won't be shipping this as it's all valve and not worth the aggrevation. I am between Newbury and Swindon a lot, occasionally rehearse Bristol way and am happy to look at meet ups via DM if it isn't too far out the way for me. Or come and try it here. 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking.

I had one. Great amps, especially good for recording with the 2 DIs. 
The can go quite loud with a sensitive cab like a Barefaced ST.
