The Ampeg Venture® Series V12, V7, and V3 bass heads deliver the modern style and features sought by contemporary bassists. Their easy-to-use and intuitive controls include an extensive array of tone-shaping tools, such as Ampeg's Legacy Preamp and 3-band EQ with sweepable mids, Ultra Hi/3-way Ultra Lo switches, a footswitchable SGT Overdrive circuit with SVT and B15 voicings, and a variable compressor. All circuitry is analog except for the solid-state Class D amplifiers.

The 1200-watt Venture V12 is the largest and most powerful of the three heads in the Venture Series, yet it weighs less than nine pounds and fits into a gig bag or the optional Venture carrying bag, making it an ideal head for the travelling bassist. Its Class D power section provides more than enough power to drive any of the Venture Series speaker cabs or practically any other cab bassists may encounter on their travels.

Specifications

• 1200 watts @ 4 ohms

• Sweepable mid frequencies
• Ultra Hi/3-way Ultra Lo switches
• Footswitchable SGT Overdrive circuit with SVT and B15 voicing switch

J’ai acheté cette tête pour la convivialité dans l’espérance qu’elle me donne un son typique Ampeg. C’est le cas. Je m’en sers avec ma jazz bass reissue 62 avec des flats Thomastic. C’est le rêve. L’ampli donne une belle enveloppe ronde signature Ampeg. Attention! C’est pas de la lampe, ça parfait dans le « feel », mais dans mon band hommage aux Allman Brothers, c’est parfait. J'ai aussi une Galien Krueger fusion 1200 watts. Cette tête est très « noisy » et on entends un bruit de fond quand la fan se met en fonction. Elle (GK) est plus « tight » et plus froide que l’Ampeg mais est plus polyvalente à mon avis. Elle est plus adaptée pour ma 6 cordes Yamaha JP2. Dans les deux cas j’utilise des cabinets EPIFANI. Donc pour terminer, je ne suis pas déçu du tout. J’ai écouté les tracks de basse de mon dernier show et l’Ampeg fait vraiment la différence.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
