Interesting. I wonder if this is meant to be paired with that upcoming V4B reissue.
Handling weight: 41 lbs
Working out some final kinks on our website, guys. Should have the site up later today. Here's some general info though:
The Ampeg V-4B 100W All-Tube Bass Head embodies the legendary tone of the classic V-4B in a portable, modern design perfect for todays players. From the unique chassis suspension system to the vintage rocker switches, the attention to detail is all there. Plus, with a careful selection of modern features like an integrated DI and a wide choice of speaker output options, weve ensured the flexibility and functionality you demand from a modern head. With the 100W V-4B, you get the sought-after tone of a fully-cranked Ampeg tube amp in a design thats less than half the weight of an SVT.

Somebody get one of these and the 212 cab and do a review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![]()
Very nice indeed. The trick will be if this one has the balls of the original.Somewhere an angel just got its wings.

The '90s reissue weighed around 45 lbs., IIRC, and most reviews I read said it seemed anemic compared to the original. I'm hopeful this one makes the grade.
AmpegUSA,
Any specs on the 212 cabinet and maybe a pic of it with the grill popped off?
