Details

Price drop! $1400!

For sale is a (roughly) 1971 or 1972 B15N. This thing is in fantastic condition. I've had it serviced by Bill Thompson throughout the years; Bill is the founder of Ashly Audio and deals in speciality tube and vintage gear. He added a 3 prong plug, and also modded the ext. speaker option to allow for a DI out post-preamp stage. (This, he told me, involved changing one resistor. For the diehard originalists, I'm sure you can change it back if you want!).

The amp has original tolex and the original speaker. The fiberglass insulation on the inside was totally falling apart and tattered, so I replaced it with acoustic foam that was recommended by the forums here. Tubes were replaced as needed, but everything on it works great and sounds killer!

Looking for a local sale, folks. Do NOT want to ship this monster! Located in Rochester NY, but willing to meet partway in the Northeast.

Make sure you tie this to a post on the Bass Guitar thread, as there are lots of folks on the "other side"looking for one.
