Ampeg SVT-4 Pro - *SOLD* £400 Perthshire

[beely]

I have finally decided to sell my SVT-4 Pro.

Despite a reluctance to sell a great-sounding amp, the reality is, if I don’t move it on it could well spend another six years in storage.

It has been recently cleaned, serviced and repaired by Alan Short (Audiocraft Services) who is based in Kenny’s Music in Dunfermline.

The input socket and tuner out socket have been replaced, as has one of the ECC83/12AX7 valves.

Any internal corrosion and all the rear sockets have also been cleaned.

There is a dent in the front upper right-hand corner, present when I bought this about twelve years ago.

I’ve included a Speakon cable wired 1+/2+ for the bridged mono output.

I will also include a PAT certificate and updated sticker, kindly provided by the drummer in my band, who does that sort of a thing for a living.

Amp comes in a flight case.

 

Couriered delivery will be at cost, up to a maximum of £30.

Happy for this to be picked up locally or, assuming the distance isn’t too great, meet half-way ‘ish for fuel cost.

I think I've covered everything but happy to answer any questions

 

Serial No. is:- ASK-XKB-0100

 

My understanding of this is as follows:

 

ASK = SVT 4 PRO

X = UK

K = 1999

B = December

Serial number :- 0100

Fine amps these, plenty of heft and enough bottom end to dislodge your Grannies filling out..glwts

[DJpullchord]

What speakers did you run it through?

Hi.

Sorry for the late reply.

I've been laid up with a bit of man-flu.

I used a Barefaced Retro Two 10.

Cheers.

Is it 1600watts at 4ohm bridged? That’s an admirable amount of pushing power.

How reliable have you found this amp?

I’m after either something like this or a pf800 to power a hartke 810. I’ve found myself playing bass guitar in a band again. Can’t seem to dodge it somehow.

Hope you’re feeling better.

Hi.

Just about recovered. It's been two steps forward, one-and-a-half steps back.

The specs say 1600W @4 Ohms (1200W continuous).

At 8 Ohms it's 1200 Watts (900W continuous)

The barefaced cab I have is the 12 Ohm version so probably not getting the full power possible.

Still pretty loud though.

As for reliability, even though I've had it a long time, I didn't use it that much.

As I mentioned in the OP, it has been cleaned, serviced and repaired after many years in storage.

I've been using it in the house for the last wee while, just to check it out over a period of time, and everything seems to be working fine.

 

Cheers.

Very tempted but also very concerned for the courier survival potential - way too far for me to drive and collect unfortunately

[DJpullchord]

I’m also tempted. It’d be okay in a flight case, maybe? 
Why the speakon 1+/2+? Is that normal for the cabinets you would use? 
I’ve also soldered 1+|-1 for some reason.

 

Whats your best price?

[Woody1957]

Isn't 1+/2+ the wiring of neutric plugs for bridged mode?

[DJpullchord]

Ah, that would make sense.🙂

[DJpullchord]

How does that work at the cabinet end of the cable though?

Hi.

I think that the asking price for this amp is quite fair so I'm not willing to reduce it.

The replies regarding the wiring for the bridged mode are spot on.

I wouldn't be happy sending it just in the flight case.

I'd put some extra protection, heavy cardboard or bubble-wrap, on the outside.

Cheers for now.

 

[DJpullchord]

I think you’re probably right.

 

Let’s do it.

 

My signal is crap here but should be a little better this evening.

 

Ill message over my number, amigo.🙂
