Ampeg SVTVR Bass Amplifier Head (300 Watts) Reviews

"Amp-ed Up For Life?"
Feature:
The wheels and handle help manage this beast. Without them it would be almost impossible. Still...this cabinet is not for the faint.

Quality:
Pay less...get crap. Your choice, not mine.

Value:
With everything else I've owned (Hartke, Sunn, Carvin, Fender), you "pays your money you takes your chances." Not with Ampeg,

Desirability:
If you're looking for hot chicks...this thing will help you work out and build muscles, but it won't attract any. It's an amp, not a magic lamp. But if you're looking for the best sound around...if tone and musicality is what you're trying to achieve, this cabinet paired with an Ampeg SVT-VR is a sure thing.

Sound:
The sound all cabinets aspire to. That classic tone from the past, that nothing else can touch.

Support:
Hasn't broken yet...the best support I know of, not needing any. :D

Overall:
Until I cannot handle it anymore, it will be my gig amp. After that...well, it will sit in my basement and be my practice amp until I die or cannot play any more. Life's too short, why settle for less?
