That was one of the smoothest, and most versatile little combos that was ever built. I love that amp. I hope one day when I get some extra cash I can find one. Wither that or a B200R. I miss that amp.   |

| | | | Agreed! I like to say you can plug any bass in any musical environment into that amp get a great tone, a magical little combo.
I only wish I had a B50-R and B200-R to keep it company!

Had mine since about '01. When my son, who lives out of state, needed a better rig, I gave him mine and replaced it with a Hartke HyDrive 115C. It's a cool combo, with some cool extras(distortion, compressor, etc.), and 250 watts. Still, I found myself missing my B100R. When he came here for the Summer last year, I had him bring it and compare it to the Hartke and let him choose which one he would rather have. He chose the Hartke! Must have gotten that from his Mother's side.
So, i'm still loving my Ampeg!!!
