  1. @iiipopes the amp is coming with an upgrade to a three prong cord. Already read that this is a nice ugrade that many owners of vintage amps use to do. Anyway, i keep in mind i'll end upgrading to a dual voltage transformer. Thanks to everyone for all the info!
  2. Tony, Caro and John - All on the first day - 1972 These guys are amazing... Love the compositions and the bass lines! It seems like an acoustic bass. Love it!!! http://youtu.be/M_pf19Z8nHI
  3. Thank you all for your responses. I know that fliptops.net has replacements to power transformers for vintage B15's. I'm planning to end up ordering one of these but the whole price plus shipping and tax duties are expensive, so i wanted to try a step down one to fire up the amp once gets home. Contacted Ampeg and recommends me any transformer that can step down 120V and can supply at least 100 watts. I will check for the brands you are suggesting. Thanks again! PD. I only have some pics at the moment and can't see any label on the chasis either than than the 120VAC 50/60Hz and AC Outlet 500 Watts Max Better to wait until it arrives.
  4. Hi all, I've purchased an early 70's Ampeg B15 portaflex from the US. While waiting to get it home, i'm looking for a step down transformer to convert the 120VAC to my home's 230 voltage. I can find many different options out there, some are big and bulky, some others smaller. The amp has 30 watts all tube, and runs 50/60Hz. Which one will be the safest i must look at? Will much appreciate your suggestions, and sorry if there is some other thread with the same question, just couldn't find the right one for my understandings. Thank you!
  5. Thank you all for your kind welcome! @ezbass Sure its nice but after many years living there i moved recently to the countryside... can get there in a short distance but i prefer the most quiet environment i have now
  6. Hi all, Came into this site looking for some info about portaflex amps. I'm already learning to play bass since 8 months ago. Never before played any instrument but i love music and always knew that bass was what i would first learn if sometime i started to play something. I feel this is a nice forum and hope to learn many things here and also to progress as a bassist. Cheers Santi
