Its a BT-15. Fliptop with transistors instead of tubes. I picked it up a few months back. First time I gigged with it, though. Very cool and totally different tone from my trace/avatar rig!
i think i had an 80s reissue of that, it was the same but had the more modern ampeg black styling, it replaced my bigger trace rig and sounded ace... some bastard stole it though.. 
It's totally beat to $%!! on the outside. About 80% of the tolex is missing from the back! Works fine. Not sure whether I want to restore it or not. I might just clean up the face of the amp, since it glows a very cool blue, and leave the rest as is. Very strange playing through something so Lo-fi after so many years. But man, it definitely sounded good with everyone else. No stepping on anyone's toes, frequency-wise.

Just saw this one on Ebay. Too bad it is only a 4.

That's pretty early.
I have Reverend 5L #8, but it's serial number 606, as they went a year or two before starting making fivers.
That was a decent deal someone got on #57. Nice color, with the HSC.
I'm pretty sure that green one, #57, used to belong to GaryLC and he just sold it recently.
As for the earliest one we have here, that's a good question. I've got 4-string #47. I think a TBer recently grabbed #40 (white/tort) on eBay.

I remember when #1 was on eBay. For some reason, I was like, "Nah." And then a couple days later, I was kicking myself.
i searched ebay, no fish, went to pick up my car, came back. searched and that one had been and gone!!

OK, while we're talking serial numbers...is it ok to post serial numbers???
I'll delete this if it's not kosher, or stupid or something...
My first fish was:
the bel air blue 5L, serial 01092, (R5L#84)...should be 1999, first year model!
Next was the Houser: serial 03613....should be 2004
Then, the gold-top'd PJ, 03350...should be 2003
These were all pretty close to each other...
Next was the Blackwood 5L, serial 04521, should be 2005
Then, the Bug-eye'd JJ4, serial 02258, should be a 2001
Then came the Lava 5L, serial 04524...again, 2005, and seperated from the Blackwood by just two numbers.

That last batch of 5L's had some sweet basses in it. That's where the purple one John has came from.
That was a funny day when they put those last ones up. I was frantically trying to "arrange" some financing while watching the basses slowly disappear from the site.
