    The best sounding B15 I ever heard. Played on a couple times in house. Comes with original Box and all paperwork as well as a custom made leather cover. I am on the fence about selling this but am relocating once again and looking to downsize so am open to selling it but may reconsider if other gear sells first. Would let it go for $4,975 shipped CONUS. Thanks for looking.

    Heres What the Ampeg Website says about it:
    Hand-built and hand-wired in the U.S., the Ampeg Heritage B-15 delivers legendary tone in a design that truly lives up to the iconic standard set by inventor Jess Oliver 50 years ago. The Heritage B-15 features the circuit paths of both a 1964 and 1966 B-15, including classic Baxandall EQ controls and premium 6SL7 octal preamp tubes along with a bias switch, recreating each years’ distinctive bias methodology. The extremely high-quality flip-top cabinet features the legendary double-baffle design and houses a highly-researched, custom-designed 15" Eminence® driver. The Heritage B-15 is no mere tribute; it meets and exceeds the performance, look and tone of the legendary original, down to each and every component.
