Achieve the legendary tone and iconic look of a 1960s B-15 amp with the hand-built, hand-wired in the U.S. Ampeg B15 Heritage Series combo bass amplifier.

Hand-built and hand-wired in the U.S., the Ampeg Heritage B-15 delivers legendary tone in a design that truly lives up to the iconic standard set by inventor Jess Oliver 50 years ago. The Heritage B-15 features the circuit paths of both a 1964 and 1966 B-15, including classic Baxandall EQ controls and premium 6SL7 octal preamp tubes along with a bias switch, recreating each years' distinctive bias methodology. The extremely high-quality flip-top cabinet features the legendary double-baffle design and houses a highly-researched, custom-designed 15" Eminence(R) driver. The Heritage B-15 is no mere tribute; it meets and exceeds the performance, look and tone of the legendary original, down to each and every component.

Premium Components

The Heritage B-15 is no mere tribute. Ampeg worked hand-in-hand with many B-15 experts to create the Heritage B-15. The design is endorsed by the creator of the original B-15, Jess Oliver. The cabinet was created in consultation with Mark Gandenberger at Vintage Blue. And everything is hand-built by George Metropolous and his team at MetroAmps, known for high-quality amp construction.

Strict quality control

Our 2010 build is limited to only 50 units. This run was kept very limited to ensure the highest quality and most authentic B-15 experience possible. Hand-crafting an amp as beautiful as the Heritage B-15 requires total commitment to craftsmanship and they simply would not sacrifice anything to ensure the Heritage B-15 is the real read more deal.

Limited Edition

For those interested in the classic flip-top design, but require more power or more modern features, they offer the Portaflex Series bass heads and enclosures. They deliver the sought-after look and feel of a traditional flip-top in a modern design that is powerful, portable and extremely affordable.
