Ampeg just posted this big guy on Facebook... 
And asked for guesses as to what it is.
Some sort of v4 maybe?
The 100 watt tube amp they've been promising?

My bets are V4B maybe with a bit of hotroding in the preamp. NICE

(and a warranty!)

How many bass amps vs guitar amps does Ampeg sell? It's probably a bass amp.

How many new guitar products do they release vs new bass products? How many bass amps vs guitar amps do they sell? The new one could be a guitar amp but odds are it's a bass amp. Do the math.
