For sale Ampeg V4-B Head and Cabinet - Not a re-issue!

Sold
$800.00

Details

According to the Ampeg this V4-B and matching 215 cabinet are from the 1976-1979 period. I acquired this pair mid-summer in the middle of a gig. I them for the last set, it was awesome. I used the head on one gig just for a giggle and it sounded great. The head works as it should, and has that awesome chewy fat tube sound in spades.

This pair is neither in pristine condition, nor is it beaten up. The pots are clean and all work. The tolex (or whatever they use on it) is in reasonable condition, all in all it's in pretty darned decent shape for a 40 year old set of gear.

I am asking $800 in Cdn funds. I will not ship. No trades. Actually, you can trade me anything you want, as long as you include $800 cash on your end. Except for unwanted spouses and children... I don't need anymore spouses or children. Okay seriously, NO TRADES!!!

Fair offers will be considered, but please don't ask me for my best price. My best price is $1500 U.S. funds. Also, I will not sell the head only. In point of fact, if someone buys just the cab I will likely keep the head.

Thumbnails are loaded below. I included puppies. Who doesn't love puppies?

I rock, therefore I am.
I would love that cab. I have the head (one vintage and one reissue). I'd buy it tomorrow if it was local (I live in FL).

Have you researched how much shipping would be? Or how it even could be shipped?

IMHO that is a great sounding cab. I am trying to restore one now, but it is in almost un-salvageable shape.

If I could get it shipped for a couple of hundred, I'd pay $500 + shipping.

Shipping would be obscene... First I would have to pay to have it properly boxed and packed. Then there would be the shipping itself, likely in the $300 to $400 range, plus whatever brokerage/duties. I would likely end up charging you less for the cabinet than the shipping.

I am willing sell the cab on it's own and take my chances on the head (or keep it). Figure out how serious you are about this - if it's very serious, PM me and we will see what we can work out.

I am serious about the v4B cab, I would really like to have that huge cabinet.

A few years ago I did purchase a new Ampeg 810 from Sweetwater, and it was delivered in a cardboard box, I don't even remember it having styrofoam corner pieces, just a double row of thick cardboard.

As crazy as it might seem, I'd pay $400 or so for shipping, plus whatever you need to get out of the cab.

Do you think your local UPS store would box it up and ship it?

I'd be glad to work with you on this. I know it is kind of a pain in the ass. But, the cab would be going to a great home, and it will be used too:)

I'm highly considering this. Great price but do I get to play with the puppies if I do?
