Help me build an Ampeg B-15 clone

I’m also surprised that my 66 SB-12 can cop a modern sound with the treble boosted up and the bass played with a light and articulate style

This is my experience too, with the treble @ max, bass @ min, and volume around 10 o’clock. P-bass with Ampeg B-15 (1964). Mine was changed to 4 ohm by Jess Oliver.
Anyone know if that just means he reconnected different wires from the OT?
 
I'm here to admit stupidity. I met Jess when I was a young teenager. My dad and him were friends. Dad took me to the factory in Linden NJ and Jess was gonna give me a brand new B-15, probably early 70's. I didn't want it cuz I was a young stupid teenager. It was offered to me a second time and again I was stupid. He did end up giving me one of his Oliver amps with the head that came up and back into the head automatically. I have no idea whatever I did with it. Stupid stupid stupid. That's all....carry on.
 
You’re going to need some PARTS….

I have 2 of these cabs(no amps, B-15S), one needs reconing…

and I have a’67 B-15N ! Lol.
