    Vintage Ampeg V4; is it worth it?

    Hey duders. Some guy on a bidding website is selling a Vintage 70's Ampeg V4 head, pretty good condition. He's selling it for $650, which seems a lot less than people who are selling it in the $800's on Reverb and other sites. It's the non-master volume one, with the six knobs and everything...

    Ampeg V4 4x12 cabinet v.s. Ampeg 810e

    Hi everyone.There are two local Reverb listings showing an Ampeg 810e bass cab and an Ampeg V4 4x12 bass cabinet. I'm trying to see which one I'd rather have since they are both the same amount. Things I'm wondering about are sound quality, reliability, and whether they overall good cabinets...

    Ampeg V4 cabinet grill does not fit B40 cab. Wassup with that?

    I have a B40 cab I'm restoring. It does not have a grill. I just bought a V4 grill here: Vintage Style Ampeg V4 Grill 25 5/8 X 27 5/8 | eBay Since I have taken it as gospel that the two cabs are identical except for one has 10" and one has 12" holes in the baffle, I didn't bother to measure...

    Ampeg V4 ohm switch question

    I hooked up my V4 to two Ampeg SVT 210avs today. These are 8 ohm. I switched the head to 4 ohms and nothing. Switch to 2 ohms, it works. 8 ohms works. 4 ohm, amp is quiet. Issue with the switch? OT tap issue?

    Ampeg V4 internal fuse blown still working

    Hey everyone, I have a Magnavox era V4 that has a blown internal fuse but still turns on and functions fine.

    Ampeg V4 rebuild - new top panel and reverb pan, do I need the reverb lock mechanism?

    So I've got a late 70s V4 that I'm bringing back from the dead, and it's missing its top panel and reverb pan. I've ordered a new pan, and I'll make a new panel from sheet metal, but I'm wondering what was the deal with the reverb lock lever on the back of V4s? I've never seen the guts of one...

    Backup for vintage V4: Mesa, or Aguilar?

    I know there have been other threads comparing these amps, however I am looking for something that will be a good replacement in a pinch for my 70's V4. My cover band sometimes tends to be a bit loud, so I do need something that will compare with the V4 volume-wise as well as tonally. Looking...
