Ampeg SVT-II appreciation thread
- Thread starter i_got_a_mohawk
- Start date
Post "Wanted" ads on your towns craigslist, and also in all the other towns CL that you'd be willing to drive to.
That's how i found my SVT-II and Blueline SVT, It can trigger guys to to sell and also eliminates your competition.
PS:
If CL wont let you post duplicate ads in other towns, just change the wording a bit...

If anyone in England is up to sell one, I'll WALK if I have to! Same goes for a Gibson Ripper.
One for sale on TB. Not mine, just letting peeps know that dont venture into the Classifieds.

Yes! Too bad his original bass is sitting in someones private stolen collection.
Slightly off topic here, but dude...that name...I love the song but couldn't help myself from doing this. Sorry.
I got my ii Pro in. Fedex dropped it during shipping and damaged the right handle and bottom corner 
GRRRRRRR
Checked tubes to make sure they were seated and fired it up, works fine, just some annoying, very annoying, cosmetic damage because they sucked at packaging/shipping.
Stil getting it checked out by a tech to make sure.
Can't wait to load it up with vintage RCA 12ax7's and GE 5550A's.

Looking for a spare set of rack handles for replacement on my SVT-II. They are out of production and not in stock anywhere, there has to be a set laying around in someones house.
SVT-II and II Pro handles are the same size, just slightly different, and also the handles vary by era. the II's have round bar handles I believe. Early II Pro's have possibly oval or half round handles. I believe the later Pros had half round handles as well.
I will take anything.
I think these are the half rounds it has now
Half Round Handle-Internal Thread 5/16" x 5/8" by UNICORP 1000's variants- Pull-Folding-Offset-Slanted-Extruded-Fixed- Standard/Metric-Stock/Custom,24 styles/30 finishes- Official Site
I emailed them for a quote for a pair anodized black. 5" length 1 1/2" height.
Never mind, no longer available it says.. but if you can't find any, I am sure that a machine shop could make a pair and not charge too much for em
haha yeah that was the first site I found and seen they were no longer available. Then I called Ampeg, and they are discontinued.
Can you post a photo of the damaged handle(s)? Repair, rather than replace, may be a more viable option.
