New Amp Day : V4-B & SVT 212AV

[Romain909]

The dream comes true : I just picked up these from Bass Center (Paris, France)
Ampeg V4B and Ampeg SVT212-AV.

Amazing sound even though it's brand new. The 212 is much brighter than I expected when slapping, so I guess I need to play a bit more with my EQ and wait a bit for them to open up. Anyway, I LOVE the clarity of the sound.

But seriously. The look is truly AMAZING. Look at that with my Fender Ultra Jazz Bass !







If you guys need new Wallpaper have fun hahaa. The vertical pic is designed to fit my Iphone 11.

As expected from a Frenchman, tasteful and artistic photos. Congrats!

I have been secretly lusting after that same rig for years. Congratulations. It looks stunning.

Excellent suggestion. I received it set on -6. I tried 0 and it clearly wasn't any better. I ll try without the horn. Thanks !

Very nice. Sits on the cab perfectly. A problem with the older V4B's.

A joke. That's a JimmyM graphic on the bottom one. A TB'er and Ampeg proponent.

That is quite a rig. Congrats. I spend probably 2-6 months "knob" fiddling before a ge a real good feel for what all I can get out of a rig. And, it really helps when you are playing with other muscians to get it dialed in. Best wishes.

Congratulations! I love mine!

Winter sunlight is better in Paris as evidence by the pictures.

 

[Daniel Piper]

Oh man that is a tasty, tasty little number. Well done good sir!

When I was last shopping for amps (probably 8 or 9 years ago now), the V4B and 212 cabinet were fairly new. It was one of the best rigs I heard and if I didn't like the Euphonic Audio that I bought a bit better, I might have snagged one of these. Congrats on picking up a great sounding rig

Nice. I have a 1974 V4B but it's too heavy for this old guy to pack around.

C'est lourde en maudit. Mais il a du ton!

That's rad!

Beautiful photos of a wonderful rig. However, I wonder whether the atmospheric lighting is also a reflection of increasing energy prices this side of the pond?

 

[GR7G5TER]

IMHO that's the best rig you can buy before you start needing a road crew!

I have a PF50T into the 212 AVT bu the V4B will be my next purchase, amazing bass amp!
