Ampeg B25 with B25B 2x15 cab

[ROWFOUR]

I went to check out a vintage drum kit and also found this old amp sitting in the corner of the old man's workshop.

He claim to be the original owner and also has everything, guitars, old PA gear, 350 Mustang, etc.

Anyway, I'm not a bass player but my jam buddy could definitely enjoy it.

The amp is in really good condition, some wear on the top of the head and a crack on the corner of the head. I check the amp for an obvious DROP sign but can't find any. Looks like the wood split naturally?? Or he must have set something really heavy on top of it. The head is still very sound, structurally. The cab has some stain on the grille cloth but no tear on the tolex at all. It also came with the original casters that screws on the bottom of the cab.

Bottomline, the amp works well and sounds really good, nice tone even with my crappy bass. Huge difference compared to my VT-22 Ampeg cab - that might need to find a new home.

I guess I'm limited to two attachments.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Nice! I have one of those cabinets but never had the head and wish I could find one. I love the sound of those.

As long as you don't need crushing volume, that's a very, very nice sounding rig.

It's absolute garbage!! Cheaply made, unreliable, blows tubes at the drop of a hat!!! Run away as fast as you can!!!






Now where did you say that store was????

I have one of those cabs, it came loaded with JBL-E140's.
it sounds horrid, like it's going to explode.
I checked the baffle, tightened screws, couldn't find any issues. It came with an SVT head I bought years ago and has sat since.
I don't know if there's actually something wrong with it, or if it just can't handle much bottom end or volume.
it wasn't the speakers, they've been put into an old Acoustic 406 cab.

And shipping to Toronto would be????

Does the grille on this cab pops out? I tried it and it didn't seem like it will budge. Just don't want to pull so many screws.

I wanted to confirm what speakers it actually came with.

It actually sounded really good and deep.
