    B100r speaker cutting out, but phones are fine

    I had this amp for several months before this problem surfaced. The speaker had worked fine, but recently, it is sputtering (cold or warmed up). Oddly, the phones are clean with great tone and no problems whatsoever. I build tube amps, so I am savvy with electronics troubleshooting and...

    My Ampeg B100R Rocket Bass

    Greetings all! I’ve wanted to repair this amp for awhile, and would kindly appreciate your opinion & expertise. I originally got this amp used in the late 00’s, it’s taken a beating but I always loved the sound for lower volume settings. Since it stopped working for almost a decade now, it’s...

    Ampeg B50R

    I’ve been looking a long time for an amp to replaced my Peavey Basic 112 for the smaller gigs we do in my band. Volume with the Basic is not a mega issue (maybe could use a hair more) but it just lacks character and tone. I was thinking of replacing it with an Ampeg B100R if I could find one...

    NAD - One from my Bucket List (Ampeg B100R)

    I have always wanted an Ampeg B100R. I don’t need it, and I really wouldn’t want to have to move it every time I have a gig but the appeal of that blue tolex and the classic Ampeg sound has always had a pull on me. The issue has always been that I cannot find one in good shape, or when I do they...
