the Official Ampeg Club Part 5

[RockyMtnDew]

I have a BA108, too, and I use it! This is a little old timey jazz gig I do now and then, and the BA108 is perfect for it.

I remember you saying in another post several months ago that you gigged with a BA108. Teamed with that stand up, I'm sure it does make a great combo.

1994 SVT Classic, SLM version and a 2010 810e. Can I please be part of the club?

And, at one point, we had a bit of an SVT farm going in our rehearsal space...

Well, I blew my Heritage head today. Crackle, no sound, blinking red light.
Hour and a half drive to the nearest Factory Authorized Center.

 

[JimmyM]

Dead power tube is my guess.

How long have you owned it and estimate of hours per month?

Since Mar 2014. I only play it at home a few hrs a day 3 or 4 times a week.

They only made them in 2013, correct? Maybe the store you bought it from had it on the floor being used and abused by hack bass players? That's sucks you have to go through this because I have heard nothing but amazing reviews on the heritage. Only option is to call Ampeg to notify them and take it to the shop 1.5 hours away.

All the tubes are brightly lit if that means anything.

It was built in 18 Feb 14 as the hang tag reads. I bought it from Sweetwaters in a sealed box.

The Heritage SVT's have been made continuously since 2010.

I still think it's a power tube that went ka-flooey. They can still light up even if they quit working and the bias lights going wonky indicates to me there's something going on. However, I could be wrong, and calling Ampeg on Monday is your best course of action.
