Its a svt classic but it has a really odd stock tolex. Its from long and mcquade (music chain) and I was wondering if anyone had seen one of these before or has anymore info.

Ampeg's never put out a blue check SVT-CL. Definitely aftermarket.

On another note, those are mid-90's heads on those special order SVT's. The blue check one at the top is a more recent model. Don't know if this helps you get to the bottom of things, Jarrod, but just thought I'd throw that out there.
