2013 Ampeg V-4B 100W Reissue Pt2

[SirMjac28]

Those knobs look great. The only ones to use for metal.

lol nice

 

[SirMjac28]

Damn that's a good looking rig. Love the knobs!
Congrats.

I recently tested the new Ampeg 112 and liked it a lot it's a very nice cab and it pairs beautifully to the V-B4. I have not tried the 212 I see here.

I owe you sir you've never steered me wrong I have to do something for you.I was going in a totally different direction until I talked to you about this Ampeg rig and it's everything you said it was and then some.

Took delivery of my v4b reissue and svt 212 av today at work. I didn't even get to open it before I came home with a stomach bug. I'm home throwing up, and my new amp is in my office still boxed up :-(

That sucks. Sorry to hear...hope you feel better.

Mine came with metal knobs stock

I just pulled the trigger on a V-4B. It says it's a demo unit from 2014 NAMM.

Nice - I'm sure it passed the test before it they took it to the show

Sometimes amps that are being unveiled at trade shows have special PROTO serial numbers like this B-15: http://wiki.talkbass.com/images/c/c5/B15_2012_C.jpg

I wonder what the serial number will be.

I saw that on eBay. They also have a NAMM demo SVT212AV for sale.

Yeah, but the cab I'm buying locally. I have a Peavy BVX 115 that will do the job for now.

I love the look of the knobs, but I can't make myself spend 60 bucks for a set.

Yeah I went back and forth before ordering them

Me neither. Does look super cool, but to me it looks fine as is.

long SIIIIGGGHHHHHH. My head was DOA. Luckily, I decided to fire it up this morning for a pretest for tonight's gig. The stand by light, red, comes on, but when switched to the on position, everything dies. No tube glow at any point. No sound. Dammit. Anyway, I'm very glad I bought from Sweetwater, who not only gave me a great price, but whose customer service is A-1. They are shipping out a replacement with a return tag first thing Monday morning. I'm not bitching about Ampeg yet. I FULLY understand these things happen, especially when things are shipped.

Bummer. Are you sure your power tubes did not wiggle out of their full connection during shipment? Worth checking.

+1 that's the second one I've heard of with problems man that sucks but it is a long ride from China anything could jar lose and you bought from the best there is Sweetwater those folks don't mess around when it comes to customer service.

 

[JohnnySee]

Hey so I've seen some of you with the v4b & two SVT210av's, how would one of the 210's handle it?

Just fine. As with any small cab setup, IMHO, it definitely sounds better with two cabs. Normally though, if I'm running just one of the 210s, I just use my PF500 because I'm probably looking at a crunch for space and it's just easier.

What price did Sweetwater give you?
