$750 new. Seems like a good deal

[homerhands]

FYI
Ampeg V12. Maybe it's a good deal, maybe it's a hunk of crap. I'll be finding out.

Well, perhaps it is but understand that it’s not a 1,200 watt amplifier into a single 8 ohm speaker it’s a 700 watt amp. Now that’s still a great deal of power and Yamaha is a very reputable company. If you like the sound of an Ampeg Tone Stack for Double Bass and only intend to use a pickup you’re only missing a HPF like the FDeck HPF Nuffer Preamp.

Yeah. Wrong thread but I can figure out how to move or delete. Any ideas?

What speaker cab/s would you run this through?

I had an Ampeg solid state head that was spec'd as 800 W at 4 Ohms and 400 W at 8 Ohms. I had a hard time finding any cab that could tolerate it at gig volumes. I always had to be very careful. Eventually, I sold the amp...but kept two of its three matching cabs.

I think that's and excellent deal. I think that the Ampeg Ventures are what Janek Gwizdala has gone to, so I'm guessing it's going to be a hunk o' goodness.

I have a V7, and it definitely isn’t a hunk of crap .

Y
I'm in the process of looking at getting a new gigging amp/head in the near future.

The V12 is one of the amps I'm considering.

I'll be interested in your thoughts after you get the amp.

was it a flash sale? (edit: I see the sale price now)

That’s gotta be on their next brochure. “I’m JimmyM, and I endorse this message.”

I must've missed it. The Ampeg HOC ?

There were plenty back in the day, from many manufacturers...
remember the combos, woefully
underpowered, with no cab tuning....
and usually ungodly heavy

but HOC models are thankfully becoming a rarity
