    Got this beauty today. Had a 1966 Ampeg fliptop a while back but it got sold when it wasnt getting much use and a baby came along. Got this from Bass Bros over in Warwick. Part ex’d a bass and some cash for it. Its a bit noisy but that was calmed down massively by putting the correct pre-amp valve combination in - it came with 3 x 12ax7 so swapped the splitter for an ecc82 that worked very well. Still some noise but at some point ill have a replacement set of EL84’s put in

    Heading over tomorrow to complete a trade. I watch so many bass bits over so many sites i completely got my locations mixed up. Thought it was in Leeds which is probably a 45min drive, turns out its Warwick which is about 2hrs 30 Oh well, new toy incoming. Comms have been excellent so far

    Is it the aesthetic of the grill cloth putting people off? Open to offers and can deliver within reasonable distance

    Update - the amp had sold when i asked more questions. The search for a small valve combo for home use goes on - options include cheap and cheerful WEM Dominators or the Ashdown Little Bastard…

    Thread res…. Still very tempted by the B15 at bass gallery but looking around at replacement transformers (at least the right size to make it LOOK original). Fliptops is circa £300 plus shipping and tax…. does anyone know of any UK based Ampeg specialists at all. Very tempted by it but just look beyond those current mods

    MIJ Fender 57 RI Precision Bass (50th Anniversary). Lovely lightweight (will get exact weight for you) black/black/maple P bass that sounds just like a good p bass should. Pickups have been replaced with Fender Original 62’s and the wiring upgraded to a Kiogon loom. Couple of battle scars that I have tried to picture, some people pay extra for that kind of thing tho! 😊 Fitted with fender 9050ml Flatwounds and recently had a full set up at The Guitar Surgeon in Atherton nr. Bolton. If you look on Youtube for ‘’Tornado Fires – Glaston-Bury” you can hear the bass in action in a live setting. Lovely bass with a nice comfortable non-baseball bat neck. Really would invite you to come and play it through my Ampeg B50R, which ill also be listing, with no obligation, it’s a beaut. Only selling as I’m playing my jazz bass more regularly and looking to fund a dream amp of mine. Comes with scruffy but fully usable gig bag. Collection from Bolton or could meet up within reasonable distance. £800 ono collected from Bolton or can deliver within reasonable distance. Pics to follow asap

    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.

    So i got a response from BG. Not an awful lot of information other than - yes, its a replacement transformer. No - we dont know what the mod is. Fully checked out by a tech and in full working order. Slightly tempted
