Pow_22 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Ampeg B50R made in USA 1 x 12 50w combo Proper B15 vibes going on here with the lovely styling and nice old school sound. Genuinely sounded more B15-ish than my vintage SB12 I had! Little known fact, these do have a hidden 1/4” Jack line out so can be used for larger gigs with FOH help. Grill is scruffy as you can see but adds to the mojo I guess. No major dings or scrapes in the chequered tolex and works perfectly. However, it does suffer from the generic issue that the majority of these original Rocket combos do in the the power light doesn’t work. A quick google shows this is common. Still works perfectly in every other way. £250 collected from Bolton or can deliver in reasonable distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjohn Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 These are great amps. I've used one for about 15 years as my house practice amp. I've got the best tone out of it at (ahem) house volumes, even though I've had (and have) some rather nice other amps. If I didn't already have one etc...

Pow_22 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Is it the aesthetic of the grill cloth putting people off? Open to offers and can deliver within reasonable distance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan47 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 The grille cloth on these amps seems to deteriorate over age regardless of the way they have been handled. (fades to grey and the silver detail becomes transparent). It is a simple job to replace it. I simply used a small Allen key to pull the grille frame off and used the back of an old black t shirt stretched and pinned to inside of the frame and all is well. The original style of grille cloth can be bought if you have a look online. Great sounding amps, classic Ampeg plus works well with an outboard preamp for more modern tones.

Pow_22 Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 Very little interest so ill probably pull for now. Any offers still considered at all but will stick it back in the mancave for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
