NICE! Any indication on what the MAP price might be for the import? The Heritage version might be handwired, but the pricing is nowhere near reasonable.

No clue what the price is. I would expect it to be more reasonable than the Heritage, but I wouldn't expect it to be the same as the solid state PF rigs.
Jimmy,
Great news for all those folks who just can't afford a Heritage B-15N. As long as they preserve the Double Baffle Reflex cabinet, I think they have great prospects. Do you expect it to be run out at NAMM? It's just incredible to think that the B-15N is probably still the most sought after amplifier in both the used and new markets. Jess really did his homework.

Somehow I'm thinking that things are going to be more subdued at NAMM this year. Releasing the V4B and B-15N at once would be nice but I'd be surprised to see it. Makes more sense to put their efforts behind the V4B and see how it flies. By the look of the pic that they posted, I'm thinking that it might not be on the street till the fall.
Considering they just posted a pic of the V4B without a cabinet, I imagine it won't be ready for NAMM. Don't know about the B-15, though. Pretty sure Hodgy said it'll have a double baffle cab, but don't quote me.

Thank "DI" for capturing these classic bass lines on the medium they had at the time. It was the best they could do at the time.

Breaks your heart that people still love tube amps, doesn't it?From James Jamerson to an Ampeg sales thread
Could you cite your source?
I think it would make for interesting reading and add greatly to the thread. What mics did they use? was the amp isolated?
i thought it was well documented that jamerson used the multi input, multi channel tube DI that was mounted on the wall in all those pictures.
This is a pretty good source for all things Jamerson.

You are right, and the truth well documented in Page 1 of this thread. And elsewhere.
The ampeg fannys are trying to rewrite history and make some claim to the Motown bass sound. I hear what I hear, It's Jamerson not ampeg. Claims to copy/clone/simulate/replicate/Model the sound with ampeg amp is questionable. Jamerson would sound like Jamerson through any system. He definitely sounds like Jamerson through DI.
