I had the great pleasure recently to pick up a 1967 Ampeg B-15n. For those who haven’t obsessed about these things like I have, 1967 was a unique year for Ampeg styling:
Sounds great, absolutely love it. When a 1967 B-12 cabinet popped up for a reasonable price, I jumped on it. I know B-12n’s exist in the wild but hadn’t seen a 1967. Well, it arrived today and I’m sad to announce that I’m now the owner of a second B-15 cabinet including stock 15” speaker
Despite not being what I was sold, I got it for a fair price for what it actually is. This seems to have always been an extension cabinet, as the flip top is not drilled for the amp tray mounts. I could return it but thought I’d share for your thoughts. What would you do?
I’m tempted to throw a JBL D140 that I have on hand into one of these cabinets and enjoy the flexibility of different tonal options. After all, the intent for the B12 cabinet was to do just that. Of course, it’s not the same variety but could be cool.
