FS local feeler: Ampeg SVT IInp & Bergantino NV610

sirdugh · #1 01-23-2010, 12:09 PM

I really don't want to sell this (and want to ship it even less) but I'm trying to raise cash to buy equipment for the film fest I work for. I love the amp/cab combo but I really haven't played it since I got my Mesa walkabout and extension. I know this is an extreme longshot but, I'll consider selling them if I can find a semi-local buyer/buyers. I'll have no use for one without the other so I'll only sell if I can arrange to sell both. I'll take pics if there is any interest.

The amp: SVT-II (non pro)

In great shape given it's age (1991 if I recall correctly, I'll check and report back). It had an issue when I bought it locally so I took it to a local repair shop (certified ampeg repair). He went over it and replaced all the tubes with JJs. The new tubes have less than 20 hours on them total. It would come with either the original and rare ampeg cosmetic case or a road ready 4 space rack.

The cab: Bergantino NV610

It is the original carpeted version. It is in great shape and comes with the Berg padded cover. Sounds fantastic!!

I'll sell the amp for $1000 and the cab for $800 or both together for $1600. I reserve the right to change my mind at any time as I have other stuff for sale as well.

Man, if you were local (or willing to ship) I would be all over that cab!

If I can find a local buyer for the head, I'll consider it. The cab is heavy, but at least I don't need to worry about tubes when shipping it.

no one needs to loosen any fillings?

You can always mail the tubes separate. That's what I did when I sold my Pro II.

I have heard of pulling the tubes when shipping tube amps. I know that everyone SAYS that they aren't sure that they really want to sell something. I REALLY don't know if want to sell this so it would have to be a really easy deal for me.

That made no sense, did it?

I have the EXACT same rig and it KILLS! To me (and many others) it is THE tone. I doubt you could find a better sounding or louder rig for $1600.

Thanks for the kind words. However, I think they worked too well. Even though my bandmates (and my back) have been loving the easy loadout with my mesa walkabout, I'll bet that I'll go the all tube route again. Like you said, I'd have a hard time buying an amp/cab of this caliber for any less money. Not that anyone appears to care, but I'm taking this off the market for now unless a dire financial situation arises.

I'm bumping a long dead thread because of a recent thread and a discusion I just had with my wife. I have too much stuff. Holding on to it is weighing me down (mentally and physically). I'm ready to let go.............

So....you are getting a divorce, right? It's sad, but it is clearly time for her to go.

funny......believe it or not, I came to this conclusion on my own. The wife stays, the amp goes.
