Selling a vintage Garnet Revolution Bass amp, probably early 1970's vintage. 15" combo with 3 inputs, volume, treble, mid, bass controls. The volume has a pull switch for "bright," if you want to get silly. It has an extension speaker jack and can run at 4 ohms. It sounds pretty darn good running my SVT cab... Get some tubey goodness - sounds great for guitar, too.

15" speaker is probably a Marsland - it says "Made in Canada" on the basket, so that's my guess. Speaker is good and the amp is loud.

It's been recently serviced and has a 3-prong cord. There's a little scratchiness on the pots but nothing that some Deoxit wouldn't fix.

Tubes are 12AX7, 12AU7, 2x 6V6GT, and are all brand-new. It's cathode biased and has a cathodyne / concertina phase splitter like a tweed Deluxe. The tone controls are Baxandall-style, like an Ampeg. The best comparison I can make is a Portaflex preamp into a tweed Fender power amp. It sounds great for recording but you probably can't gig with it. I used it as a recording amp along with a nice active DI. Crank the amp all the way up and let it get crunchy, and then blend that in with the clean signal from the DI.

Asking $250 shipped CONUS, PayPal OK.

Possible Trades:
Intel Core 2 Duo / Quad processor and Gigabyte motherboard (P43/P45 preferred)
Intel Mac Mini (+cash from me)
Apple Magic Trackpad (+cash from you)

Thanks!

Thanks for the bump! It's a great-sounding amp, but I don't need two all-tube 15" combos at the house and the B-15N is staying

Might be interested in buying this guy back. I'll let you know (If it's still available when the time comes)

I own an older version of this. Where are you located? I'd love to get my hands on this one too.
