Re: Bass amp idea
My bass player uses this. I picked it up from a deceased estate. Fender 72 Bassman 100 in good nick. Plenty loud!!!. Bass player LOVES it!! He used to use a PEAVEY 400 MK4 bass head, but much prefers this.

Re: Bass amp idea
The Ampeg B-15 bass amp is only 25 watts. My understanding is that it is recorded on many many well known recordings.
IF someone was playing at home and not pushing it in a small venue, would the B-15 work if mic'd into the PA?

Bobby Vega plays one and names quite a few well known bass players that use one also.

Re: Bass amp idea
I have modded two of those Fender Bassman 100 for guitar work. Also, those PA100 into 4 different channels for bass/guitar work.
The locals guys keep bringing these old amps for service which I enjoy doing.
A friend has his original B15N from when he was a young lad and I asked if he would sell, got a fast no response.
I have a Kalamazoo 30w bass combo that is very cool and very neatly wired inside.

Re: Bass amp idea
I just bought a Bassman 100 from around that era and am going to mod it into a dumble We'll see how that goes! It has some issues, but I think I'll fix those first, just to practice and then go to the ODS replacement plan.

Re: Bass amp idea
I recently serviced one of those old Ampeg B-15s - very cool amp.
Here is my recently acquired Bassman 100. It's the first working Silverface amp I've truly gutted and trashed but if it becomes reincarnated as a working new amp, I think I'll sleep at night. The faceplate was crappy and I'll likely be putting this to use in one of A/Ns Dumble chassis in the coming months and the extra parts will come in handy....
