    Just picked up a 1967 B18 here in France ! the speaker is a Ruby SP18h300 I don't know this brand. I wasn’t expecting such low-end extension ! Definitely more lows than my Vintage blue / JBL D140F cab, I think the fact that the speaker has a modern design has a lot to do with it, I even tried...

    Best year for Ampeg B15

    Do you know when it was introduced? I’m not sure how to identify it on the schematics.

    What was your first bass amp and how bad was it?

    My first amp : swr LA15 (1st version) 100w with a 15 ” and a tweeter, 3 band EQ, bought €300 in 2006, I hesitated many times to sell it but, I still have it, it’s my most transparent amp face to my vintage blue /home made B15.

    Almost One year later... I have drawn the chassis for my B15 clone on autocad, the rear holes were designed for the neutrik connectors. I ordered it to a Laser cutting company, with steel sheet (1mm thick). They cut it and fold it. It is not exactly a perfect replica (but it is very close I...
