Albums featuring SVT amps?

Sign in to disble this ad
The title pretty much says it all, which albums do you know of where the bass player/s use an Ampeg SVT?

Ones I can think of -

Stone Temple Pilots - Core

Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley

Kyuss - ...and the Circus Leaves Town

Queens of the Stone Age - Queens of the Stone Age (definitely an Ampeg I'm 90% sure I read it was an SVT)

Queens of the Stone Age - R

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs For the Deaf

Nirvana - Nevermind

Rage Against the Machine - ? (I know Timmy C uses 3 SVT II heads, but I'm not sure if he used them back in the 90's)

Audioslave - All their albums AFAIK

Alice in Chains - Dirt

Alice in Chains - Facelift

Alice in Chains - Alice in Chains

Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies

Pearl Jam - ? (I know Jeff Arment uses them, just not sure on which albums).

Ok just saying SVT means nothing. I have two and they both sound way different. If I was recording with one it would be the SVT 2 pro

It means SVT. Did I make any sort of claim that they all sound the same?

Heh, yeah true the number is very, very high. I was just hoping to discover some I wasn't aware of or hadn't heard of.

Any of the first three Ramones albums are great examples.

That's going to be a very, very large number.

Pretty much everything Jah Wobble recorded before the late 90s, including AFAIK everything he did with PiL.

Ditto Gov't Mule.

And The Meters.

And the Melvins.


That said, though, there's a big difference between a 70s SVT and a solid-state SVT-III.

I'm fairly certain that just about every AC/DC album was done with an SVT, for what it's worth.

+1 to the infinity comment! LOL. Also just to make a clarification, Timmy C uses 4 2 Pro Heads, though a 8x10 and 2 4x10's for a clean sound and 2 levels of distortion.

A great one for a P with flats SVT vintage SVT tone is Donny Hathaway Live, with the incomparable Willie Weeks on bass, recorded live in NYC early '70s. Great songs, great tones and playing from all the musicians, and an insanely musical and cool solo on 'Everything Is Everything'.

A must have soul/funk album and a bass masterclass.
