1965 Ampeg B15 ND

Does anyone know about this amp? I haven't been able to find it exactly. ND is rare. It is both a guitar and a bass amp. Anyone with info would be much appreciated. The main thing I'd like to know is what it may be worth.

That would be a 67-69, the cabinet style wasn't introduced until late 67 and was gone by later 1969 when the went to the grey SVT-type faceplate.

As far as price - you have to be a supporting member to ask that. Try ebay completed auctions or google.

Just checked my ampeg book to confirm and it says the B-15ND was essentially a B-18N circuit in a B-15 chasis with an attached 15" cab sold with a 15" extension cab, and was introduced in 1967 and discontinued shortly thereafter.

Yeah, you don't see too many ND's. They originally came with a 15" extension cabinet, and the circuitry was changed so that it was basically a B18N. Yours should have 7027 power tubes if that's the case.

Guy at Ampeg confirmed it's a 1965

One of the head guys at Ampeg looked at the photos and said it was a 1965. Do I need to pay money on this forum to get a question answered? I just wanted to find out if anyone knew the value, I'm not trying to sell it here.

He was wrong. As I said, that model was only produced 1967-8.

Yes. From the FAQ:

"Price check/"How much is this bass worth"-type threads are limited to supporting members only. Post them in the appropriate forums for the item in question (A question related to the value of a bass guitar should be posted in the Basses[BG] forum, an amplifier in the Amps[BG] forum, etc.) "

I'll trade you a broken Squier combo for it. I'll throw in a pack of dead strings, too.
