    Tubes protection grill replacement for Ampeg B-15R

    Thanks for your replies. The metal of the cage is easier to work on than I first thought. With a hammer and a piece of wood cut to the right size placed inside the cage I've been able to make the recess almost disappear.

    Tubes protection grill replacement for Ampeg B-15R

    Hi I recently purchased an Ampeg B-15R whose head has been obviously placed upside down and forced in the cab, the speaker magnet bent the tubes protection grill. Can someone advise where to buy a replacement one or have it built, preferably in EU ? Thank you !

    love of Ampeg and other Scroll Basses, Part 2

    Why 70s Fenders Sucked

    I'm not a big Fender fan generally speaking but my all time favorite bass is my 1973 Precision (with Badass Bass II). She's just an incredible instrument, I played many basses, Fender and others, she's THE one.
