    Agreed! The more popular KT88 version (which was made since 1969 I think), is more HiFi, almost sub-bass and crystal clear tones. Which is also great, but If you want that raw tone, known from DR103 (Hiwatt 100)), this one is like that just a bit more clean headroom. and they made them in very low quantities, for few years only (two?)

    Deafinitely. No need to EQ and natural compression is there. I've recently recorded an album with just a P bass and B15N (it was a '68 straight to tape. How it sits in the mix is unbelieveable. The '68 and another '72 would be for sale too.

    I have always wandered if there were any differences between black and chrome pickups (early vs late). Unfortunately I haven't played those early ones
  5. boroman
    Yeah. There's no other one like it! I haven't seen such a beautiful color fading ever. That;s why it caught my eye then

    Indeed. I just pulled it out yesterday, through the flatback '74 Ampeg SVT cab and was blown away. Not so colored like SVTs but a raw, powerful sound. Hiwatt has something special in the low end - not boomy, but full and rich with a hint of "subbass" but a bit less than KT88 version of this head - this was was very Hi-Fi!

    I bought this beautiful bass in USA hoping to use it for semi-acoustic shows that were planned, but the idea never came real. OK. The truth is I bought it because of the look! 🙂 Never seen another one like that. It's a '68 Gibson EB2 with rare "Sparkling Burgundy" finish that was red in the beginning but had turned over the years to gold/copper and looks absolutely stunning. (you can see real unfaded color on the back). I remember playing one like that on the Denmark Street 6-7 years ago and I really wanted to find one, but not in red and not in sunburst. It's 100% original , unmodified, with chipboard case and chrome bridge cover, just missing the pickguard - like most of them - they are shrinking over time and make the bass buzzing all over the place so I complaetely understand the point of removing it. Soundwise: Tons of low end (and almost just a low end) with the original mudbucker pickup + tons of sustain (this is not a light bass - it has center block under the bridge) + dead straight neck & low action, frets in good shape. No repairs, no cracks/structural damages. It needs a bit of tlc on the baritone switch. Crackles when engaging and buzzez (ground) when you touch it. Otherwise in "playing mode" is totally silent. Great bass, but I haven't taken it out of the case in a year... I may take some CS (+cash) or Mastebuilt P bass in trade... Let me know what do you have UK+European Union can be like £40-80, must know your postal code.

    They were changed but as I said before "pat pend" was added around October 1960, so if they do a '61 it should have it because every pbass from 61 had it in the past
  11. boroman
    They are not (I suggested OP that in a private message) Also pickups looks replaced or rewired, not to mentionon misalignment of the right bridge cover hole. I'm no any expert on paintjob (had similar '66 which me and my luthier didn't know it was refinished or not) - but this bass looks stunning even if its a refin, love the checking and the worn-to-the wood neck. And I love olympic white, but that's me And I miss my 66 looking at those pics!

    "C" stands for width at nut, 66 did not have a chunky/baseball bat necks. They have very comfortable necks. Think of later p-basses but wider at nut. "B"-widths came in 1968.

    Vintage SVT produced from 1969 to 1986 is controlled only by 1 Volume pot (one for each channel). It does not have "GAIN" and "MASTER VOL" separately. Sound is AWESOME, for me the best you can have from a bass tube amp ever (B15 is another thing to consider). Svt Classic sounds a bit modern, a bit more mellow and less raw/gritty/"in your face" than vintage SVT. SVT2 "non pro" model sounds somewhere in between those two. This '72 was sold few days ago, but I have another '74 one on other ad.

    Wonderful bass brother! Just wanted to ask why a lot of people don't post to Italy? I've seen it a lot on other ads

    This is a beauty! PS: I'm always wondering why most of CS '61 pbasses haven't got "pat pend" under the precision bass name. Those appeared in late 1960, so each 1961 P had it then...
  19. boroman
    Yeah! Lovely. Congrats! These are real holy grail sound machines when properly serviced. What's the story behind Beatles/Stones it has, If I may ask? I have 8x10 cab that belonged to Phil Lynott and some time ago I sold V4+4x12 cab that was Johnny Ramone's one (from NY studio).

    Agreed. There were 3 versions of that cabinet and let's say 2 major version of circuits in B15N. This one is single baffle, a total "thump" tone with p-bass. Later thiele cabs had more bass anbd were kind of nasal in the mids, but I like it too. Never cared for the double baffle early ones...

    Trade for Ampeg B15 or vintage SVT?

    Beautiful B-15N from 1966 - produced in this option for less than a year (single-baffle cab/navy blue tolex/B15NF circuit). It sounds phenomenal - rich and creamy bass tones due to original square magnet CTS speaker. Amp was recently serviced with new caps, new foam inside cab, NOS tubes, grounded power cord and 1/4" input (if you know those amps, you also know that the pins are so small that they can easily break when connecting, so this is common upgrade. Original 5-pin is still there for sometic and historical reasons). Everything was set up, biased and cleaned. Shipping to EU/UK is £70
