Hi all,

I'm moving on my Ampeg B100R combo. These were made around late 90's-early 200o's I believe, and this one was made in USA. Cops the B15 tone very well and despite being solid state, it has a valvey fullness to it. Doesn't break up when pushed and I've used it with no problem against 2 guitars and drums. If you're in a super loud band you'll struggle, but for practice and average volume level gigs, you'll be fine. Great responsive EQ WITH bass Mid and Treble, but also has Ultra High, Ultra Mid and Ultra Low switches which really help shape your sound.

I would put condition about 8.5/10. The tolex is in great nick, however there's a slight fraying of the grill cloth on the front. It's quite hard to see, but I have tried to show it in the pictures.

She's fairly heavy, easily manageable by one person of course, but I'd prefer not to ship it due to weight. I'm in Lancaster, but travel between here and Nottinghamshire with work quite frequently, so if you're somewhere in the North, I'm sure we could meet to swap. Would be looking for a bit of petrol money if you're out the way, but we can sort that nearer the time.

I'm looking for [s]£250[/s] £200 please. Not after any trades thanks, any questions, please ask.

Few pics, but if you want anything specific, please ask and I'll try my best to help out.

Cheers
Chris

This next pic has a light shining on it to show the fray in the cloth, but it doesn't look as bad as this in real life.

I played with one of these B100R's ages a go in a gig and it stood up against a VOX AC30 and a smaller 15w all tube guitar amp.

Really nice combo that has a vintage vibe to it.

A steal at this price...

GLWTS mate!

I gigged with one of these for quite some time, bought from new (£499 at the time probably 10+ years ago!) - brilliant tone from this. The "Eg" fell off the logo on mine so it just said "Amp" which my guitarist round very amusing. You can get a load of great tones out of this, I do love a proper old radial tone dial in setup.

Brilliant amp, someone will be very happy with it.
