Hey, I hope this is cool with the rules and all... Ampeg V4 1/2 Stack
Somebody in my town is selling this and I thought maybe someone on here would be interested!
There's not usually any good stuff like this posted on my local CL! |

As well, that's more a guitar rig right now I 'spose.

The cab shouldn't be more than a few hundred in addition.
For the value of the rig it might be worth $1000 to a gasser or urgent buyer, but that's a price that has been driven up over the last couple years. There are much better deals to be had and $1000 is definitely not a requirement to shell out for this type of rig.

If you can find a V4/V4B in the $4-500 range it's almost guaranteed to need some repair work. For one with a cap job and fresh tubes, plus cab and cart $1000 might be a little high, but certainly not over the top. Leaves room to negotiate at least. |

Not just due to collectibility, but due to great tone and quality that's way beyond compare to a lot of the stuff out there today. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
