for sale: 1970s AMPEG B-15 flip top tube amp combo
$750
local pick-up only in Brooklyn, NY
mechanical condition: EXCELLENT
cosmetic condition: GOOD
I believe it is all original. Maybe someone can tell from the pic if the speaker is original?
AFAIK it has not been replaced.
The amp has a number of cosmetic defects (see pics) including a missing clamp, some peeling tolex, and one of the feet of the head has pulled out of the wooden amp top. These are relatively minor and fixable and do not affect sound or performace.
I had it re-tubed and calibrated by Main Drag Music in Brooklyn about a year ago. The sound is clean and warm until you push the gain and then it breaks up into a beautiful tube overdrive.
I also had the amp modded to accept a 1/4" speaker cable to run other 8ohm cabs off of it. I believe they just changed the "Ext Speaker" jack to 1/4" from 3 pin. It works great and its very cool to be able to run different cabs off this head. I've considered separating the amp from the cabinet for separate transport and use, but instead I'm selling as is.
I have owned this for just over a year and it has been in my studio the entire time. It has seen good use but no abuse. It has proved to be a reliable amp without problems.
Local sale only as its too heavy to ship. Of course you will be welcome to step the amp through its paces when you come to check it out.
please feel free to ask any questions or leave comments here.
thanks for looking,
Andy
