I just ordered a new Ampeg V-4B head and Ampeg Heritage 410HLF cab. Should be here before Christmas! Pics will be posted when it arrives.

I lost my mind!

“I lost my mind!”
I don’t know; my V4B/ 2x SVT210AV purchase is one of the best decisions I’ve made in quite some time. My bank balance may disagree, but the smiles are still happening daily.
Congrats on a great rig; enjoy! Looking forward to pictures!

It’s expanded a bit since I originally bought it; Ampeg GAS is an exceptionally strong force. Here here you go
I feel you. I pulled the trigger on an SVT-CL and a 610 this year. But, dang. It sure sounds good.

IMHO loosing your mind would have been buying a full Heritage SVT rig with a pair of 810s to cart around in your hatchback.
Congrats!

Sweeeet. Is that sitting on top of an old 4x12? Or what is that cab?

It’s a ‘70s Ampeg V4 4x12 cabinet. I replaced the old CTS speakers with 4 Ohm Eminence Basslite S2012s (custom ordered) so it’s a 4 Ohm cab (wired series/parallel like the original drivers).
It’s my favorite cab with all of my amps.
Nice!!
How much does that weigh? I've thought about adding another 212AV (When funds become available
). Wondering if it would make more sense to just sell the AV and get an old 4x12 or have one made by fliptops.Thanks!
It’s about 65 lbs with the Basslites in it. The cab itself is 47 lbs, and with the original speakers it’s about 80 lbs.
You can often find V4s in decent to good shape for $300 - $400 with original speakers intact, cheaper if they’re missing or blown. All in all probably less expensive than a Fliptops cab, but certainly won’t be in as good condition.

Next purchase:
Not too bad, really - the V-4B is ~40 pounds, the HSVT-401HLF is ~75 pounds, but we're talking full tube head and a pretty sweet 410 that doesn't need a subwoofer
