This is an Ampeg B15N that I got in trade from here on talkbass. It is an amazing amp and sounds just perfect! Great condition with all the original magnavox tubes. I even looked inside the head and it looks brand spanking new. It has really been taken care of in its life. This is my second B15 (the other a 68) and this one just sounds better for some reason. It is pure heaven with my 72 P with labella flats. The only reason I am looking for a sale or trade is that I am afraid it just doesnt have enough headroom for me. I dont really want to mic it cause my band has a sorta crappy PA and I never run through it. I went from a vintage SVT to this. I need something in between so I dont have to mic, but will be not so massive as the SVT and break up a bit at lower volumes.
This B15 is all original except for the speaker. It has a vintage Cerwin Vega in it that sounds warm like a CTS but with more lows. I really like this speaker alot. I actually automatically bought an Altec 421 for it on ebay that turned out needs a recone. Hard to compare the two with the Altec needing a recone, but the CV sounded way warmer and thicker with huge lows. A great match for the B15 in my opinion.
I am really interested in a partial trade for another 70's Ampeg: V4 or V4B. Possibly a V2 or B25B as well, but prefer a V4B. I would prefer one with a recent cap job
Will sell for
$875 shipped outright FedEx AIR.
A truly nice b15N. I would keep it forever if I had the money or gigs for more than one rig.
