Pawn report: Ampeg SVT 200T + SVT 212e + SVT 1510he

Sign in to disble this ad
Each time I see a pawn shop I have to stop and check it out, it's like a disease

I found today (note: I did not buy) an Ampeg SVT 200T head, with a 212e and a 1510he cab.

I don't know much about Ampeg. How good is this setup in your mind?

Are any of these good on their own? Or can I maybe try talking the price down for the 3 set?

You didn't list what they were asking for it. However, assuming that everything was in good condition, if you could get it for under $700, that's a good deal in my opinion.

Now, as far as the combination of such, I would say that 2x10 or 4x10 would go better with the 1x15 or 2x12 as far as covering the sound spectrum.

In other words, I don't think there would be a need for both the 12s and 15. I'd pick one of the cabs and then get some 10s to go with it.

Just my opinion though. And the 2x12 must be an older cab because I haven't seen a 2x12 Ampeg since I've been playing, which is a relatively short amount of time compared to some of the old horses around here.

If you can get a good price on them, I say go for it, but pick the 12s or 15 and use some 10s with it.

cheers

edit--

After thinking about it, I did think about another possibility. If you commonly play low B or lower, 2x12 and a 1x15 might be a good setup. I can't say for sure, though, as I play with 1x15 and 4x10.

I think they were asking $349 for the head and $299 for each cab but I am sure the whole thing can be had for $700 OTD. Plus it's really a guns & gold type of pawn, the musical stuff is there to add some variety.

212s and a 15 could be killer, but those prices seem high...

Probably down to $200 each would be better.

The 15 is a 10+15+tweet, by the way.

I wonder if that head is any good?

I have this head. (about to sell due to weight)
I had it paired with a 15HE and 210HE and it sounded and looked great.
It was a lot to carry though. I paid $675 for the total stack and will get about the same back.

Old, heavy junk. Worth it for <100-150 per piece if you don't mind breaking your back schlepping it.

or you could take that 500 bucks and buy a nice lightweight GK combo.
