Members The Aardvark Posted July 29, 2006 Members Share Posted July 29, 2006 I've found an Ampeg SVT for $400. It's not a CL it's a (IIRC) B4U. I'd like to get some info about it. Anyone know anything about them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Aardvark Posted July 29, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 29, 2006 It's not online, it's in a local store. They say it needs to be re-tubed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sk8g0at Posted July 29, 2006 Members Share Posted July 29, 2006 They say it needs to be re-tubed. did they say why? could be a ploy just to get more money out of you. if you know any decent repair techs you could probably have it done cheaper yourself. ask what the price would be if they didn't do anything to it. that may be too risky depending on what your comfort level are with older tube amps. i'm just assuming it's older. actually i'm assuming a lot, sorry i can't be more help.

They aren't offering to re-tube it, just telling me I'll need to. I'm fairly comfortable with tube amps, I've had quite a few of them (guitar amps). Maybe I'll email Ampeg for info. Thanks anyway.

Good idea, but a V4B doesn't IIRC have "SVT" written anywhere on it, and 400$ would seem a bit much, although I can't provide a just price myself.
