    70’s B-15 external speaker jack wiring

    Greetings to all. I have a mid 70’s B-15 that I purchased years ago for $300 in Austin Tx. I was told the techs checked it out and all was fine. I brought it home, used it a few times and then it sat unused for about ten years. When I decided to use it again it had issues so I replaced the cap...

    Standby became ineffective in Ampeg B-15

    My 1964 B-15 was warming up the with Standby selected as usual, but this time when I plugged my in bass (cable was already plugged into the amp) it did the loud buzz, as if it was switched to On. Tried different cables, but the amp still acts as if Standby isn't working. Any suggestions about...

    Ron, if you’re out there. This one’s for you (Ampeg B-15 content)

    Way back in the 60’s, my Dad was in a band in Tacoma Washington. He happened to see another band playing a show, and noticed the bass was played through a pair of Ampeg B-15s. He was working at a fish market at the time, and convinced his boss to co-sign a loan so he could purchase a second...

    Fuse for '67 Ampeg B-15

    I need to replace a fuse in a '67 B-15. The fuse holder and fuse popped out and were misplaced in transit so It's not available for reference. On the back of the amp it simply says "3 AMP FUSE". Anyone know whether it's a slow blow or fast acting?

    Ampeg B-15 circuit differences

    I'm trying to find info on the differences between the different B-15 circuits. So far I'm having trouble finding an exact answer, but I'm sure this must have been discussed here at some point. If anyone can point me in the right direction, much obliged. I've been able to find some info about...

    Hey so I'm planning on building my own Ampeg B-15 shameless copy.

    B-15 makes noises after prolonged use. What's wrong?

    Just bought an old/new Ampeg B-15-N, and everything works great except that when I play for over a half hour it starts making faint sounds like an old radio trying to dial in a station. Same result if I switch guitar cords/instruments. I've had amps that picked up radio stations in the past...
