Ampeg B100R Rocket £220 £220 Poole Dorset

[paddybass]

For Sale is my Ampeg B100R Rocket Combo in very good fully working condition plus soft cover and 4 x original removable castors. 

 

Great old skool Motown tone a la B15 with the diamond Tolex finish.

 

Serial number CCNWP60023 may suggest made in June 2003 from this info but I'm not sure? 

 

1985-2005: The St Louis Music era.

A 10 digit number is used as a serial number, which contains lots of information. The number is set up like this: LLLCYMNNNN. LLL stands for the model, C stands for the country. (U is U.K., Y is Europe, W is Worldwide, and D stands for domestic or U.S.). The Y is a year code that is a letter, starting with A as 1988, (see chart below). What happened before 1987 for the year is unclear as very few amps were made because of bankruptcy for MTI. The M is a number code for January-October. (Jan is 1, Feb is 2, Oct is 10, fill in the blanks.) For November and December the letters A and B were used respectively. The last 4 numbers (N) are the actual serial number for the instrument.
 

A= 1988  F= 1993  K= 1998  P= 2003

B= 1989  C= 1990  G= 1994  L= 1999

Q= 2004  H= 1995  M= 2000  R= 2005

D= 1991  I= 1996  N= 2001 

E= 1992  J= 1997  O= 2002 

 

Try out and collection from Poole, Dorset or can possibly do a meet up as I travel around a bit. 

 

Not looking for trades at this time as trying to thin out the gear. Make an offer. Thanks for looking.
