Ampeg SVT Classic

[Crazyforkillua]

I need a new amp, and I was looking at the Ampeg SVT-410HLF Classic:

Can somebody tell me how they are? I originally was thinking of getting an 8x10 but thats too much for me atm.

Thanks.

I use this cab and I get on with it. It's heavy but still reasonably portable and gives me the vintage tone I like.

What amp are you thinking of using with it?

Cheers

PS -- I take it, given the time of your post and the Guitar Center link, that you're in the US. You shouldn't have any trouble getting Ampeg gear at a good price -- we pay twice as much in England.

Idk, would it best to have a bass head? I was looking at ampeg heads but I'm not sure what to look for in them since I never had a bass head. I have a Carvin amp right now, but I want to upgrade to something better.

And yea, lol. I'm US. Forgot to mention that lol.

I use an SVT-3 Pro, which I also like despite its reputation as being under-powered.

I believe Mr Hoppus also has a couple of them.

+1 for an SVT-3 Pro, I absolutely love mine, and coupled with the 8 ohm version of the cab you're looking at I really can't see me changing anything about my set up for a very long time. However, if you get the opportunity to try it all out first, take it - some people hate the ampeg tone.

Also I thought Mark Hoppus was an SVT-4 man?

EDIT: Realised there was a comment that could have derailed the topic. Sorry!
