Been trying hard to move vintage stuff on the forum to almost no avail, but hey its worth a shot.

Original Ampeg B15N in good working order, for local pickup only.. Too old and too heavy to ship, it will get wrecked in the process.

Its somewhat roadworn, but works well, and sounds beautiful... Most parts including tubes and CTS 15' speaker are original.

These are crowding $1000 on ebay in beat up condition, the cleaner ones are $1,500 and up.
NOT easy to find anymore.
Had this for sale here at $550, but thats just too low, and I adjusted it closer to reality. If you don't agree check sold items on ebay. This is much less expensive, and you can play it as long as you'd like before you buy.. I know ,good luck trying to get anyone to drive to Candor NY, but like I said, its worth a shot.

Pics will be sent through email. For whatever reason I can no longer upload any pictures to this site... No need to reply here... First "yes" email takes it.. bullet_bob@lycos.com bob

This is a real good price for a classic amp. The B15N is to Fender bass what the Standel 25L15 is to steel guitar (although far less rare and pricey). Electric bass gods like Chuck Rainey and James Jamerson used B15's back in the '60's with their flatwound strung P-basses. I recently had my B15 renewed by a friend who remarked that the circuitry was more like a MacIntosh than a Fender.

VERY GOOD DEAL; BOB'S ALSO AN HONEST DUDE.
Here's an Amperg B 15 N that's on EBAY that's been recovered STARTING at $995 if you prefer it to Bob's.
