thanks for your input corey. what are the effects of changing to a fixed bias?

i actually like it. combining both channels gives me a real full punchy sound. not looking to resale anytime soon, once i like a sound i stick with it for a long time. im worried about if using this channel will shorten the amp's life somehow.

i found these papers inside of the cab. they seem to be diagrams of modifications. im just a dumb bassist so even though is written in English i feel im reading Egyptian hieroglyphs... any ideas of what these mean? i always appreciate your inputs

i hear ya Jimmy. it makes complete sense what you're saying. most likely the amp will stay at the studio only for recording purposes and i don't need it to be loud. thanks for your input.

i guess this as a player's amp is a plus but as a collector's item is a minus. is this reversible? the current speaker is not stock also has a very small hole on the cone. i was very tempted to change the speaker. now, with this find should i install a 4 ohm speaker? would this damage the amp?

OK....... im not sure if I should open an another thread but here it goes as far i read about this amp's inputs Channel 1(left ) is bass, Channel 1 (right) is guitar, and Channel 2 is Instruments. The other night i was testing the inputs and i found out that the Channel 1 Right input is...

congrats on your M-50 mate! actually the previous owner was a nice lady that used to punk rock in the 80's. yeah, she told me there were a few interested in the amp. i was lucky she lived 15' from home

im going to try patching the hole. i will keep you posted on the progress. yeah i saw the vintage blue cabs... some day i will get one. just keep in mind i paid 500 bucks for the b-15... its out of my budget. for now i will keep my self entertained fixing up little by little. its getting way...

thanks Bstring! these could be good replacement but a little pricey for my budget

hey guys so, i did what beans suggested, i tried different heads/cabs. seems like the hole is making that unwanted noise. so, at this point, knowing that the cab is a later 60's paired with an early B-15N head, should i try look for an orphan double baffle cab instead of buying an new Eminence...

thanks Jimmy! i did insulate the hole at the bottom and tightened the latches however the noise continues. seems the speaker is farting... do you think i should recone the current Utah or get a brand new spanking Eminence Delta 15A? i took a few pics of the current Utah

100% agreed. i don't care much about the looks. actually i like it as is now, it kinda has more mojo. regarding the tone, I've never played a B-15 so i do not know what they should sound like. i do have a svt mti and the b-15 sounds pretty similar (maybe i should say that the mti sounds like...

thanks Bstring! that one is the Volume 2 pot that i think is was a replacement. i just removed a little of wax on the eq pots and i read 1346039. i think is a 1960-1961 model. this is fascinating!!!

yeah. the Volume 1 and the Volume 2 look different. i took a few pics of the pots here:
