Well I just bought a 2x15 cab from a guy and though the cab sounds great he advertised it as an Ampeg but I now have my doubts. I had to make a decision fast so I jumped on it. I can post pics later if needed but I came across this site while at work and thought I may be able to find some answers here. It has an ampeg jack on the back but it still seems fishy. Any advice? |

| | | | I have his number, but the ad that advertised the Ampeg name is gone =/ I'll post pics as soon as I can though. Thanks! |

I mean, what are you comparing it to that makes the deal have some perceived possible stinkiness? |

| | | | well upon closer inspection of it some parts of the amps seem to have been changed or altered. I will post pics as soon as I can get off work. |

|  | Call on God, but row away from the rocks | | Join Date: Jul 2010 Location: St. Louis, IL | | | Post pics...Ampeg cabs aren't really worth that much anyway...I bought a 1970's Ampeg 8x10 used for $120. If it sounds good who cares. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Albany IL | | | Photos please. Ampeg made some different 2x15's over the years from different eras, so you never know what you might have. Could be a B25 cab, V4B, BT-15C, SVT-215E, SVR-215, or an LGS-215. All of which had 2x15's
