Trade? Pre/power/comp for all-in-one?

deepestend · #1 12-12-2005, 11:25 AM

I'm going to start playing out more and may need something a little more portable. I've got:

Ampeg SVP preamp-just serviced, had a faulty pot replaced and the tech redid all of the solders.
Crown XLS 202 Power amp 500 watt 4ohm mono amp
Older Fuhrman power strip--front lights are burned out
DBX 262 stereo rack compressor

All in an older (not roto) 6 space SKB rack or a wooden/carpeted road rack.

I'm looking for an all-in-one hopefully with a compressor and tube pre section. Again, the setup above is great, but I live in NYC and need to take the subway and it's a lot of stuff to haul.

How much for just the SVP?

Sorry, not looking to sell-- only trade. If I can't trade it, I'll keep it. I love this rig-- it's just a little bit unweildy for the subway.

bump... anyone else interested.

Might be willing to break it up for trades... I'm really looking to get around a 500 watt head.

The mesa m-pulse 600 is almost exactly what you've specified above.

Just a suggestion.

Have one you want to trade? : )

I think you'd be better off trying to sell it and get yourself an Eden 550. Tube, compressor, fairly light at 20 lbs. and sounds great.

I think you're probably right... any idea what a reasonalbe price to sell the whole rig would be? I'm guessing, though, that I'd have to piece it out.

Do you like the Crown XLS as a power amp for your bass rig? Thanks!!

Its been a really solid amp without any problems. It's a pretty no-frills kind of thing. One thing to note is that to bridge it mono you have to build a cable from radio shack. Its' not that hard to do (it's just a matter of plugging adapters together) but something to know.

Exactly what I was thinking. The compressor on it is great.
