Vintage Ampeg

[Bulltrout]

Just got the B15N today, which I bought from its original owner. It's absolutely un-touched (well almost, the power tubes don't appear to be original) so a cap job and three-prong cord are in its immediate future; apart from that there's no rattles or issues. I've got some nice JBL's I can try it out with later (K140 and D130F) but for now i'm just going to enjoy the tone...


And now for the gratuitous vintage Ampeg porn. Here it is hanging with the 1970 SVT - dare I call it the Blue Line Blue Movie?

Feel free to add your own pics.

Great amp, I own one and they are the definition of bass tone in my mind.

Aw, I want a B-15 now.

Really? Of all the people here I would expect you to have at least eight in storage. Lol.

I wish! But I do have one. Used to have two, down to one now. But it's in the shop, dangnab it, and I want it back!

Even though mine's a '63, I really do like the tone of the 70's/Thiele B15's

Nice amp. It looks like it has been well cared for over all those years.

Looks just like my '71 B15N. Sweet.

Looks great - as nice as I've seen from that era. Usually at least one of those plastic toggle switches have been replaced.

Sorry for the OT, but anyone else smell a bot (not garmenteros, just the others)?

The power of suggestion?
Great minds thinking alike?

Or maybe it can be attributed to the mesmerizing tone of the B-15N!
