Reduced to £1700! This is an early 1965 B-15N in stunning condition. Checkerboard tolex with matching dolly board. Original speaker. Even the original plexi logo is perfectly in tact and lights up. You'd be hard pushed to find another this clean. The amp has recently been serviced by Ted Wood who also re-wound the mains transformer to run at 220v. This means it doesn't need a step-down transformer and has a proper earth (meaning less hum and risk to life!). This obviously doesn't affect the sound which is amazing, plug in a passive fender and instantly get those old school tones.
I don't really fancy shipping this as it's way too special, but will do anything reasonable to organise meeting up etc...
Not really looking for trades on this one.

It would help your sales if your whereabouts was mentioned, at least in your profile, and better yet in the text of your ad as well.
Hope this helps, and good luck with the sale. :)

Oh wow! i'm pretty sure it said you're looking for a straight swap with an Orange AD200b rig right?... ;)

Good luck with the sale mate, this wont last long.

Oooh!

I was playing a support back in 1961 (yes, really) and the main band wheeled in a B-15. I though it was the most beautiful thing in the world.
Good luck with your sale.

If I could lift it I would have it.....last time I saw and heard one was 1972, at a Caberet Club in Liverpool, amazing sound and then I knew nothing, now i can't remember if I knew nothing. Good luck with the sale a piece of Motown history ( or any major record label of that era).

Maybe I should go to the a gym, build up my strength.

It's a 'double baffle'. I don't believe the single version appeared until '66. I've actually A/B'd this against a later single baffle version and to my ears the difference is very subtle but the double has a slightly softer, more rounded bottom end.
