This is a single-channel take on the venerable Ampeg B15, sitting somewhere between the Heritage model and the Ceriatone 'Aunt Peg', but without the fixed bias option. The build blog is here and I suggest any prospective purchaser should read it carefully to get an idea of:

How much care went into this build, along with the quality of the components.
The problems I encountered and the fact that they have all been ironed out!
The specifications.

This was far from being my first amp-build rodeo, and I feel that I did a quality job on it. The amp has seen a lot of use over the last 4 years as a luxury practice amp in my home studio / practice room. I built it to use, not to sell, but I now find myself with (a) too many amps, (b) not enough space, and (c) a hankering after various other shiny things.

I'm looking for £950 collected or by way of mutually convenient meet-up - it's not something that I would want to entrust to a courier. I'm based in Swindon, Wiltshire, but do travel around for gigs and to see family. The price reflects the cost of the components plus a tiny fraction of the many hours that I enjoyed putting it together. I will provide documentation (circuit diagram and layout) that should assist any tech that needs to work on it in the future.

Some of the folks who attended last year's Big Fat South West Bass Bash got the chance to hear this through my BF Super Twin - @Stub Mandrel, @Chienmortbb, @MichaelDean iirc. If it hasn't gone by then I intend to take it to this year's Bash, this time with a FOR SALE sign on it.

The Barefaced One 10 is shown for scale (I was right out of bananas) but is NOT included in the sale!
