The SVT is definitely the amp more people associate with the classic ampeg sound. The preamp of the v4 and SVT are pretty similar. But the power section is where the difference gets made.
V4 breaks up more abruptly, and has a more compressed sound. The SVT tends to have a more gradual break up, it breathes a bit more.
To me the v4 always sounds too aggressive for bass,
