NCD: Ampeg Heritage 810

[Mastermold]

Hodgy rocks! I keep going back and forth on getting a new SVT...I want one but I'm old and don't always want to lift it...but if I get one, this video put me over for the Heritage. There's just something about knowing that Hodgy's hands have been all up in it that's oddly comforting.

Hey! Welcome back to TB Jimmy!

Yeah...but not half as much fun as TB. Nice to have a friend back with us.

Thanks everybody! I really do love these amps and I hope that each and everyone goes to a good home and melts faces.
Joe Edo- I would LOVE to do a Heritage VR- we'll see what happens. Next on the queue (for me, anyway) are the Heritage B-15 and the Heritage Reverberocket.

It's a dark sounding one but it may not be OSB since it's a 2006.

Thanx Jimmy. That's what I thought.

Nice to have you back! You're help with all things Ampeg is invaluable & you've been missed

One of the smartest things I have done in a LONG time was to order the Heritage CL and 810 when they first came out. I LOVE the rig and am constantly answering questions at gigs from other bass players about the Heritage line.

Smartest thing this old fart has done in quite a while!!

Dude, you say that like it's a good thing to be answering questions from other bassists at gigs

Finally got around to getting a pic of my Heritage SVT-810 amp tag:

Hi there,

I am proud of having a SVT-CL heritage amp and a SVT 810 heritage cab for a few days now. Great Amp, great cab. The sound I have been after for years is finally there. Great work, I am totally amazed.
I am wondering who signed my cab, the amp has been signed by Hodgy maybe someone could help me with the 810...

Here is a foto of the hang tag:

That is our current A&R guy Scott 'Stu' Paterson. Looks like you got an early one!

 

[JimmyM]

I'll vouch for Stu, too...he is a real bassist who knows how an Ampeg should sound, look and feel.

 

[Dukedray]

Thanks for the information . This Amp and the cab truly rocks. When I tested it for the first time at home, the coffee cups were falling out of the cupboard . Great stuff, thanks for building that awesome thing Hodgy.

I can't remember what speakers are in the Classic, but the Heritage is loaded with Heritage-stamped Eminence 10's. The speakers are secured to the cab with machine screws and T-nuts instead of the wood screws on the classic. The tolex is a different kind of softer texture, and the grill cloth is sparkly. The biggest difference is that the Heritage line is built in the U.S. by pretty much one guy, who runs them through a barrage of tests before they go out the door to ensure high quality.

You signed the inspection card on mine (number 100)

Here is mine with my SVT-2.

Awesome sound - with serious attitude.

Do these get loud ?

I have continued to avoid these like the plague. I don't want to crush three vertebre.

And yet I break out in a sweat every time that I see a pic.

Damn you. Damn you all !

Loud? Yes But I bought mine for the tone. Paired with an SVT it's exactly what I want to hear in my bass tone.
