Bringing together a dual 12AX7 tube-powered preamp and a whopping six 6550 power section, a five-position mid tone control selector, and a nuanced three-band EQ, the Ampeg SVT CL Classic Bass Head is an industry staple for good reason. Serving up a thunderous 300W of power, the vintage-voiced roar inherent in his model is coveted by the likes of players from George Clinton to Gene Simmons for its ability to capture a wide harmonic spectrum while still pumping out an onslaught of presence. Immensely versatile, the SVT-CL is found in the bass rigs of genres from heavy metal to fusion funk to post rock and stands firmly as a pillar of low-end tone.
