Lucky me!!! (ampeg content)

Sign in to disble this ad
so I was trying to sell a couple of speakers and was looking for the info online so I could post an add on Craigslist. Then the new Ampeg Neo speakers showed up on my search, and I don't remember exactly how but I ended up checking out an add on Ebay for two Ampeg cabinets.
I absolutely love my Ampeg SVT 4 PRO, but I never had real high end speakers.
First of all, I am kind of cheap, I am also practical, and sure like that phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!'.
So I've been using my Peavey 410 TX cabinet for about 14 years now! It's a work horse, and I think it sounds great.
Anyway, I noticed the Ebay add was close to ending, and the bidding was very low. It said, "local pick up only" and the guy lives in Trinidad-Colorado. So I put in my bid and won!!!

$227 For both!!!!

I even felt bad. Called the guy back, and told him that I didn't want him to feel that it was an unfair deal, and that he could cancel the auction if he wanted, and I'd be cool with it.
He said, No problem. He explained to me that he traded some vintage guitar with some guy, and that's how he got the cabinets, blah, blah, the guy is happy, he is happy, and I am happy! Everybody is happy!

here is the link, check it out. They are heavy as hell, but I figured I'll deal with it for the next 10 years while I can. After that I'll find a micro amp. they will be killin' by then!

Man this thing sounds soooooooo good! I got home and played all day! It's gong to be a couple of weeks until I can actually use it for real on a gig.
Can't hardly wait!
