In this article from Gibson.com, the author claims in the second to last paragraph that Ronnie Wood (while playing in the Faces) preferred to match Gibson SG guitars with an Ampeg bass rig– the SVT, V-2, or V-4. The article recognizes that this tone is "considered by many of his fans to be the quintessential Woody tone". The article goes on to say that Ronnie used this setup in Faces' songs like "Stay With Me" because he appreciated its "high output and crunching drive."
