Assessment, stub class for now

I assessed this as a mid-importance article for the Wikiproject Musical Instruments, for being a musical instrument manufacturer. I rated it a c because has a good deal of content, sections, photos. Has inline refs, but could use more If you improve it and want reassessment or need help or have questions, please drop me a line.Jacqke (talk) 18:10, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stones V-4 vs. SVT

Keith Richards and Mick Taylor used Ampeg V-4 stacks live, not SVTs during the 1969-72 timeframe. For studio work, the Stones used the VT-22 combo version of the V-4 at that time. Mysteron09 (talk) 14:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup?

I've noticed that this page has no references in the text stated and is using peacock terms. I've added two banners to show how this page can be improved. Jc4k 02:52, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Examples of "peacock terms"

Jc4k - Please provide some examples of "peacock terms" in the article. This will be much more helpful than just making a claim that the article contains them. Patton556 15:58, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He's talking about some of the terms that I removed with this edit. For more information on what peacock terms are please see this link.

I know what peacock terms are. My point was he should have said what parts he actually had a problem with, instead of just saying the article contained peacock terms. It’s much more helpful to point out the places where there are problems, or even edit them (as you did), than to go around tagging multiple articles without actually cleaning anything up or even giving specifics.

Sounds like an advertisement

Some of the info here is just wrong, like "At 85 lb (39 kg), the Ampeg SVT provided 300 watts of RMS power, considerably more than most other bass amplifiers of the era."

Ampegs were always under powered. Bassist at the time were using Marshall, Hi-Watt, Sunn, and Acoustic amps. Sunn and Acoustic both made 300 watt amps. The SVT was made to compete with those brands, as they were the most used bass amps at the time. Ampeg was not a leader in the field. They like to use hype that they were.

Why a picture of modded/spray painted amps?

Shouldn't the pictures represent Ampeg products... more or less how they "should" look? Why the picture of the B-25 and V-4B that have missing knobs, mis-matched knobs, spray painted grill, replaced grill, spray painted faceplate, somebody's name scribbled, and replaced power switches...? Not to mention the picture is taken in someone's messy kitchen.

Awful picture. Is there not a decent picture anywhere that can be used instead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.58.41.245 (talk) 16:11, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
