This MPEGB 15 S amplifier was manufactured in 1972 (based on serial number and feature set) and was manufactured by Ahmed between 1972 and 1977. Everything on the amplifier in and out is original. Only the speaker has been replaced with a high-powered Carvin PS15 with 2.5” voicecoil. The B 15 in this configuration is an astounding recording studio base amplifier. The B 15 in this configuration is an astounding recording studio amplifier.

I‘ve made records in recording studios, which usually have a selection of from which to choose. Nearly every session player will prefer the sound of the B 15 for tracking, or as a side chain to an DI, the B 15 adds indescribable warmth.

I’ve used the amp for several years in recording . Before that, it was owned by bassist Josh Moreau, touring bassist for 10 years with Katy Perry as well as Lana Del Rey The Mars Volta and Miley Cyrus. So this B-15 has been treated with love and played only by professionals who respect its limits.

The combined head and enclosure weight is 101 pounds, which makes it costly to ship. This listing is computed with the head and enclosure both shipped in a single container for $230. We can also break the head and enclosure into separate packages and use reverbs internal shipping if you prefer. Of course if you live anywhere around the LA Metro save a couple hundred bucks and drive up to Ojai to see it!
