New ampeg speculation - A true B15 Reissue?
- Thread starter coreyfyfe

they've tried modernizing the portaflex line several times and it always stiffs. seems like the only ones that sell are the b-15n's and to a lesser extent the b-12's.

Man, you are subtle...
My thoughts EXACTLY!!
Look, I ALREADY OWN the Heritage 8X10 and the Heritage CL...I am NOT going to grab anything else!! (Wife's hovering nearby).
Just Announce the damn thing already!!!
PS...Glad I'll see Sean in a few days!
Sigh... This will probably cost a heck of a lot more down under.... Even WITH the current exchange rate.
Oh, the joys of workig at mcdonalds.

This is fun to watch!
Very cool!
Question: assuming Ampeg unveils the B-15 on Oct 23 at BPL, does anyone know when these B-15's would actually become available to the general public? (i.e., when could I have one sitting in my living room?)
the 65 is basically the same as a 66. both have the nf circuitry and the single baffle cab. personally, i prefer the 67-68 look for the b-15nf, though. that black with the silver piping is the cat's ass!
God.....I'm having the worst case of GAS right now. I love my B-15N (1966)....but I am feeling the need....
...To Ampeg USA - If, and just if by chance this is a B-15N....would there happen to be the possiblility of an extention cabinet????

How can I tell the year of my B-15?
It says B-15N on the amp and inside the cab it has this serial number on the tag:
409961
The speaker has a square magnet and the cab has the tiltback pole mounted inside.
Any info would be great!

64. back then, the 1st digit was the year. early one too...they dropped the tiltback in 64 (wish they hadn't). does it have a rectifier tube? that sounds more like a b-15nb and not the c that most 64's are.
most b-15's have 6 tubes. three 6sl7's, two 6l6's, and a rectifier tube (early ones use a 5u4gb, the b-15nb had a solid state rec so no 6th tube, and everything else uses a 5ar4). so if you only have 5 tubes, then it's an nb.
