Well, I have simply too many heads and cabs for the small space I live in, so some pieces have to go...
This head is somewhat rare being a true "ampeg" manufacture, as opposed to magnavox, which is what you usually see in B-15Ss. Places it around 1971.
It's been thoroughly gone thru by tech Wil Bailey, who in addition to building/repairing/restoring gear for some of the biggest names in the NW has also worked for THD. In addition to replacing out-of-spec parts he also replaced some of the preamp tubes and installed a fresh set of JJ 7027s. We didn't replace the filter caps which he suggests be replaced some time in the next five years.
The amp is mounted to it's original fliptop plate, which is cool because it has built-in shock absorbers and also provides a handle to carry it by. You could also put the head in a head cabinet...
Very versatile head, probably somewhere between a tube rectified B-15 and a V4 on the "B-15 to SVT" vibe spectrum. 60 Watts, solid-state rectified, lots of cool tonal options. Plenty of spec information on google.
Asking $650 + shipping.
Only trade interests are:
*RH450
*Lakland Decade Skyline (passive)
*LDS/fEARful 15/6 or 115
*Kappalite 3105 or 3105LF
*Accugroove 115L
