    who used ampeg svts in the 70s?

    Looks too small to be an Ampeg 8X10 SVT cabinet. More likely a 2X15, but they had a dolly affixed to the bottom so that side mount is likely a custom dolly setup.

    who used ampeg svts in the 70s?

    "Guy from Ampeg" - Not sure who you are talking about but I had some email back and forth with Dennis Kager, one of the original "ampeg" guys from when they were in Elizabeth NJ. This was in 2016 to 2018. I walked into a music store one day in Edison NJ just to see what second hand stuff they...

    Jazz Bass Pickup Replacement

    Hey everybody I just slapped in a pair of Seymour Duncan Apollo pickups in my "made in mexico" Jazz Bass purchased in 2015 or so, as the bridge pickup stopped working and I figured might as well try new pickups since one is probably bad anyway . Also, I had noticed significant hum with the neck...

    MarkBass Little Mark III

    guys, my comment was about a negative experience with a speaker cabinet. I'm not dissing MarkBass products in general. The cabinet was the "floor model" from a retail guitar store, so it could have been 1/2 blown by someone "testing it out" . . . . . . .

    MarkBass Little Mark III

    All I know about MarkBass products, is a 4X10 cab rated at 500 watts I bought a couple of weeks ago, ran my vintage Ampeg V4B into it, WAY too much distortion even at low volume. Brought it back, exchanged it for Ampeg "heritage" SVT 4X10 (+ some additional coin). MUCH MUCH better.

    Comment by 'SPK1439' on the classified ad 'Ampeg B25- Vintage- Blue tolex- 1971- All Tube- $500'

    same question - still available ? I'm in NJ too. From the pilot lights, it sure looks like 1960's vintage. Unfortunately original Ampeg employee and guru Dennis Kager passed away a couple of years ago, he could have identified this beast.

    Difference between Ampeg B25 and B25B cabinets?

    Planning on buying a 2020 Rickenbacker 4003s Mapleglo! Any issues?

    I love my 1971 Rick in red sunburst. I sold it to a guy where I worked, and bought it back about 10 years later. He had the pickups replaced, and removed the cover over the one pickup, but kept all the parts. I will replace the pickup cover at some point to bring it back to the original...

    I'm Frustrated with the Band I'm in.

    So I just was separated from the first band that I've played with in a long time, because I'm moving to a different state. Sad about the timing, they had auditioned bass players for more than a year, so they told me, and I was "approved" on the first time I played with them. We played a bunch...

    Difference between Ampeg B25 and B25B cabinets?

    any details on the square magnet speaker? Manufacturer, part # etc? I recently replaced the square magnet speakers in my B25B cabinet as one of them was torn. Replaced with Eminence (I forget which ones, but they were recommended for bass guitar applications - LFA I think). My cabinet has a...

    Ampeg Blue/Silver grill cloth not available anywhere

    First up will be recovering my V-4B head, and I know I will have enough extra for the speaker cabinet as well (the 2 X 15 inch size cabinet). I should have it done in a few weeks when I get the time, I'll let you know how much leftover there may be.

    What are some of the best, older, heavier, heads and cabs?

    Ampeg V-4B if you want the SVT tone but not quite as much oomph.

    Ampeg V4B Grill Replacement

    Sorry it's not clear if you removed the rear wood panel. if you did not already do it, you have to remove the wood panel at the back of the amp - it is there to protect the tubes. There is a notice on the back of the amp chassis that says "To service tubes, remove 4 screws to remove back...

    Ampeg Blue/Silver grill cloth not available anywhere

    I've had same problem, just found one lot on eBay - overpriced but I went for it. The seller did not indicate the length so I'm hoping it is enough for my B-25B 2 X 15 inch cabinet. I had purchased some in 2013 ao I have enough for the B-25 cabinet, but I'm refurbishing a V-4B first and...
