ped Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Hi folks There’s an Ampeg SVT-VR for sale near me. Refinished in white vinyl, with matching 1x15 cab. £1400. It’s on Facebook. I’m really tempted but just don’t think I could manage it or need the power. Having struggled in the past with moving other tube heads I’m not sure I want to go back, but man does it look cool. May be of interest to someone, which will stop me buying it! Happy to go and check it out if useful to anyone. It’s in York. https://www.facebook.com/share/Cw5cNxZrkiu24Sd5/?mibextid=79PoIi 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 It may be cheaper to buy a sack of sand, and walk around your house with it for one week at least 30 minutes three times a day. You'll get more muscles, or less Ampeg. Or more Ampeg, because then you have the power to carry it to gigs and rehearsals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassmanPaul Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I seem to remember that the VR was not too well received in the pages of TalkBass. It does strike me as being a bit on the expensive side. That said I have little experience of pricing in the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I think if you want to go 'SVT' the second hand SVTII on Richtone is the way to go. Based in Sheffield so not a million miles from you and just shy of £900 for the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I actually want or need an SVT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 There are far better amps available these days to bass players than an SVT VR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
