WORKING CONDITION: Excellent. All four inputs offer a bold bass sound with plenty of volume on tap. The Bass and Treble controls have a wide swing of cut and boost, and the EQ rocker switches enable enhanced tone shaping. The tubes and speaker in this amp are in great condition and ready to record.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Very Good. Aside from some discoloration or stains on the front grille, the chassis and valve cage look fantastic, and the speaker, tolex, jacks, pots, and switches are all in top condition. 

Includes Ampeg Plexglass log for head, no screws

 The 1977 Ampeg B-15N Portaflex is a later-era iteration of the legendary "flip-top" bass amplifier, valued for its warm, round, and tube-driven tone that defined the sound of recorded bass in the 1960s and '70s. By 1977, the B-15N had evolved from its early 25-watt origins into a slightly more powerful 30-watt unit featuring a Thiele-designed cabinet for improved low-end efficiency.
