I'd love to see more video of Jamerson playing, especially showing a closeup of his right hand in action.
Here's a clip of him with Marvin Gaye playing What's Going On. It's a beautiful performance.

Looks like they've added a choke to the circuit. I had a '66 that had a choke added to it later in life and it was quiet. Not sure if that's what made the difference or not but it was an obvious component addition.
Looks good. And they confirmed hand built in the US. Which means they also confirmed a hefty price tag

As a B15N owner, although I don't know the year, I would really like Ampeg to give or loan Jimmy one of the new offerings. In my mind when it comes to the B15 Jimmy is the MAN! I'd take his word over ANY Ampeg endorser in the world no matter how "famous".

I'm no electronics guru, so can any of you experts out there tell by looking at that pic how many watts the amp will put out? It appears to me that there are six power tubes across the top of the pic, but again, I'm no expert.
aw, you guys...
if only being the founder of the talkbass portaflex club, playing with bowzer from sha na na, and using a 1964 b-15n rebuilt by jess oliver on a regular basis in front of crowds of thousands carried the endorsement weight of darryl jones

honestly mark, i can't complain about noise with my 64. but if it gets even quieter, that can only be a good thing, especially for the studio.
