Ampeg B-15 Model Tube Bass Amplifier (1966), made in Linden NJ, blue checked Tolex finish.
A typical mid-1960's B-15N Portaflex, covered in Ampeg's trademark blue check tolex with the classic deep and round sound these are rightly renowned for. Along with its slightly smaller brother, the B-12, the B-15 is well known as the greatest recording bass amplifier ever designed. Perfect for any studio situation and a fine gigging amp in lower-volume situations. The favorite of countless 1960's bass players including the dean of Motown bottom, James Jamerson.
Height is 29 1/2 in. (74.9 cm.), 21 in. (53.3 cm.) width, and 14 in. (35.6 cm.) deep. Overall moderately well worn but a good functional example. The tolex on the bottom of the amp is beginning to peel as is fairly typical. Replaced speaker as is so often the case with these; the "M" is gone from the front metal logo and the light-up plastic logo plate is missing. This amp has recently had its 100,000 mile checkup by well-respected tech Blackie Pagano, so it is in studio-ready shape ready to provide the classic Ampeg sound. Overall Very Good + Condition.
