Definitely not a 500 watt SVT. Never been done by Ampeg and it never will be done. My friend's dad worked for Ampeg and even though I already knew it had not been tried...he confirmed there was never a 500 watt SVT. Also...Nate from Foo Fighters uses Ashdown amplification. Good try buddy...girls don't care so much about your basses and SVT so quit changing jackets and work on what's in your trousers!

Dude, nice stuff, but I must correct you...there were never any 500w SVT's made. Ever since it first was put on the market, it was a 300w amp. I've got one of the very first Blue Lines to come out of the factory (you can tell because it has a socket for a tube relay, which was soon dropped because of unreliability), and it's 300w. If by chance there were any 500w SVT's made, they were prototypes that never made it out of the factory because they didn't work. And I've never heard of any.

Also, it's possible the other way round too: playing a bass through a guitar amp. Jaco Pastorious and Geddy Lee used to play their basses this way. As I said, an amp is an amp. It can amplify almost anything.I'm talking about valve amps here, not transistor (solid state) since they are hard to overload, unlike solid state amps.I dunno what speakers Pastorious or Lee used on their rigs, but I'm sure they used bass speakers because they handle lower frequencies better.Hope this helps man.

Forget what this guy above me said. It IS safe to play a lead guitar through a bass amp. Most stoner bands have their guitarists running their guitars through bass amps.Why is it possible? Because an amp is an amp. The only thing that differs from bass amp to guitar amp is the EQ. Also, bass amp speaker cone paper is thicker than guitar amps, so you can run anything through bass amps.

This isn't show and tell. Less time talking, more time grooving. An annoyingly common occurrence on Youtube.
