Wtb-Ampeg b15

[Barney Loveland]

Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone knows of a b15 for sale? Being a bassist first i figure it's well overdue. Any leads appreciated.

[Pete]

Oh me too.

I have been scoping out ebay for quite sometime, they are going for around 1000-1200 us at the moment. Factor in shipping/tax/import and modding it to work on 240v and you are looking at AUD 2000+.

If you do get one post a few pics so we can drool.

Not in a hurry at mo, might end up with a Fender tube head and wait till later for B15. Have thought about building one-

nb-unless someone finds one in their Grans garage, i'd still be keen.

i always thought they sounded better sonically when you just used the amp and not the buzzy rattly shitty cabinet
like into a real bass cabinet
but then you mix a record you recorded with that shitty cabinet sound before you knew better and it just works ...
so yeah you need the amp and the box

[Pete]

I recall you saying you have one here a while back rick? Still got it?

If you do I can cook a few snags on the output tranny while doing my best motown impression at the next bbq.

you know what i had the ac/dc one ( as in i bought personally it off the bass player in ac/dc )
in a fit of " i dont want a recording studio anymore i am going fishing" mid life crisis , i sold it and a ton of other stuff ( neves, neumanns ,lots of speakers and guitar amps)

the good news is i sold the ampeg b18 to my good mate steve and doesnt use it much and when my the place is finished i am buying it back
the bad news is steve only thinks he can talk me out of buying it back and he reads the forum

You can do it paul.. go back in your mind to the sweet tones of the b15..

If you do remember, please drop me a line. Much appreciated.

Bought mine from the US a while ago.
All up near $2400 once all taxes and postage costs are dealt with.

Worth every cent for recording.
I often don't even have to eq in the mix. It just works.

And the rattly buzzy cabinet records like a charm.

Barney this might be your lucky weekend: http://bit.ly/g310N0

Just the head but it will get you off to a good start. I am sorely tempted too!

[Barney Loveland]

thanks, i'm on it.

[Alistair]

Any of you guys grab it? I had my eyes on it, but jumped $400 in the last ten seconds...

[Barney Loveland]

Yep, that would be me. Now I just need one of these.

Enjoy! Good luck shipping that cab

[Pete]

Nice one Barney! I saw that jump in the last few seconds and was instantly out of the game.. hope you enjoy it. Post some pics and soundclips here once you get the complete package up and running.

[Ender]

Congrats Barney, very nice!

[Barney Loveland]

Still waiting to hear from the seller re actually paying for and picking up the head....

But maybe I could do a pictorial on the build for you guys.
