NEW LOWER PRICES! $500 for the SVT-3 Pro, $300 for the SVT48HE, both paypal-ed and ground shipped/insured to the lower 48!
I had the cab up before (
FT Ampeg SVT48HE but I kind of restricted my trades too much. I bought the SWR rig I was looking for, so I am pretty well set on amps and cabs now.
So now I really ought to get rid of my made in USA SVT-3 Pro and the SVT48HE. I bought them in a package deal with a fretless Jazz and an SVT18, but in less than a month I had upgraded to a SVT-410HE and a SVT-4 Pro so I could biamp the 4x10 and the 18.
When I bought the SVT-3 Pro I was told it was new-old-stock and would be covered under Ampeg's warranty. The fan was sort of loud (I only play at home) and I thought one of the tubes was a little hissy, so I took it to a local authorized Ampeg service center and they replaced the fan and all 5 tubes under warranty. The new tubes are all Groove Tubes, with less than 2 hours of use on them. I'll include a copy of the receipt to help out with any possible warranty claims, but I'm not guaranteeing Ampeg will cover it again. The 3 is in great shape, just a few scratches on the handles and from the rack mount screws, one scratch on the top.
The SVT-3 and the 48HE make a killer small, full range rig. The slight hi-fi-ness of the 48HE is well tempered by the extra tubi-ness of the 3 Pro. It's pretty transportable, but my Eden WTX-500 and Avatar 112Neo are even easier to carry. I have a V-4B with a SVT-15 for fat round tube sound, the SWR SM-500/Goliath III for SWR sound and the big SVT-4/410HE/18 rig, so I'm pretty well set amp/cab wise and this is just too much overlap. And I don't have any more room!
I'd be interested in trading for a nicer Fender bass, maybe a G&L, maybe a 5 string. Nice effects/pedals/pickups/parts are a possibility, with +/- $ either way. Cash I'm looking for $550 for the 3 Pro and $350 for the 48HE, plus actual shipping, tell me if I'm overestimating their worth.
