Early 70's Ampeg SVT

Sign in to disble this ad
here we go, just in time for Xmas!

this specimen could use a tolex job, but i've seen much
worse. the frt face plate is scratched up (replaceable) otherwise, this amp needs nothing! everything
works! newer cap job. newer output tubes (winged C)
preamp tubes are orig Magnavox/GE/etc.

this one is early Magnavox (black rockers/toggle power
switch) maybe 1973? transitional. most Maggies you
see will be white rockers & rocker power switch.

wanna talk about loud? gut wrenching loud. actually
there is a huge amount of clean power here, with
a certain greasy element. up top, the highs are clearer
than my svt2, probably due to the vintage USA preamp tubes.

its my belief that every bass player should own one of
these, even if just for a short time, to know what its
like. the Harley Davidson of Bass amps...

i also think every bass player should have 2 heads, 1 being
an SVT. who cares what the other one is, long as its
portable

so lets go! who's ready to finally pony up & get that
keeper you have always wanted.

$1350 plus 50% of shipping. thats right, i am gonna split
the cost of packing/shipping to the Continental USA only.
HO HO HO Merry Xmas!


newer cap job

going to a blues audition? throw this on top of a 4x10 & roll in with your Fender bass.

a rock gig----throw this on top of your aggy 4x12 & throw down.

warning. this amp can cause death. if it falls over on you that is.

in case you haven't tried a modern cab with a mid driver,
plugged into a tube head. i can tell you from experience
it is friggin awesome! this cab is an 800 watter. upon
playing with the volume knob, you very soon realize
this SVT head could easily handle 2 of these cabs!
