Ampeg B50r Rocket Bass (Made in USA) £200 Bolton

[Pow_22]

Here we have an original Ampeg B50r combo.  Its a 1x12 50w combo in the style of the old fliptops withs its grey/blue diamond tolex covering and silver grill cloth.  Very loud for its 50w rating and very vintage/valvey sounding.  Does have a 1/4 jack line out for bigger venues.  Grill cloth has aged over the years but i think it looks better for it.  As with 99% of these older Rocket Bass combos the power light doesnt work (google it - its a standard issue) but other than that it works perfectly.

 

collection from Bolton or could meet within reasonable distance.

Tell me about it, was advertised in a few places to be fair. Still pending usual but uber quick that!

As for the LED issue, I bought a B100r with the pilot light assembly completely missing. I used the method documented here to repair:
B100R pop on shutoff
I used a 5mm clear blue LED, chrome LED holder and a 2k2 1w resistor in series to avoid any mucking around with the board.
Worked a treat, just thought I’d share.
