    New convert to IEM/ampless for live gigs - help!!!

    Exploiter, I feel you and I both echo and want to expand on what Reyalpabut said above. Cab sims could be cool but aren’t a necessity especially if the sound you are going for is relatively ‘clean’. IMO what IS a necessity is a great preamp and DI signal to FOH. For me I was able to get this...

    SWRBabyBlue

    I know what you mean but in my case the surrounds on the 8" speakers disintegrated. Glue also failed on the dust caps. It's not a complaint though. Those parts lasted almost 30 years before having those problems. And putting new speakers in wasn't a huge challenge. That amp is still going and is...

    SWRBabyBlue

    I have a Baby Blue II. I love it as well. Great recording amp! It's a nice alternative to a flip-top. Cleaner but still warm and the 8 inch drivers have a way of filtering out the muddy lows and retaining just enough depth- like the b-15 N enclosure. The 5 inch speaker is hard to replace because...

    Isolated bass: John Paul Jones

    What strikes me in addition to the baddass fretless-ry is what it was to record in studios in that era. Do you hear how heavy those noise gates are set? If I heard those envelopes opening and closing in my headphone mix in 2025 I would have freaked- or at least been really distracted...

    This is my favorite current production Ampeg cab. If I needed a 2x12 this would be the top of my list.

    For Sale Ampeg B15 (late '60s?) NoVA

    I’m in Chicago- so it’s likely that I won’t be able to purchase this however I bet many others here would appreciate a pic of the interior of the cabinet. Curious to know if it is the same baffle and porting design as the B15N

    SOLD Vox Bass Headphone Amp

    Another thumbs up. When on tour I would keep one of these around for practice. I haven’t tried this with many different headphones but it drove my in-ear monitors loud enough for me. I can’t say that this sounded like a $3000 signal chain- but it worked pretty well for me. The ‘jam along’...

    SOLD Musikraft Jazz Bass Neck

    The grain on that quarter sawn maple neck is “dead sexy” How did this neck behave when installed and under string tension?

    SOLD Incase Double Gigbag (Green Tag)

    Halegoove- let me know if this is still available. I’m also a big fan of these old InCase designs.

    SOLD PRICE DROP Early 70’s Ampeg B-15S

    I wish I was in Oregon! I had one of these for many, many years. I liked it so much better than the ‘classic’ B15N at least for most things IMO. The B15S is much louder and much cleaner and ‘open’ sounding in the mids and treble, yet still completely warm and organic sounding especially with the...
