1966 Ampeg B-15N Portaflex just in!

This is a gorgeous and original example of perhaps the most famous bass amplifier ever made. Used on countless recordings across many genres of music from the 60s, 70s, and beyond, the B-15 almost single-handedly defined the sound of electric bass.

This B-15N represents the last variant of the Portaflex model, also known as the B-15NF. Its fixed bias power section and single baffle cabinet construction pushed the amps 30 watts with a bit more clean headroom and tighter, more defined response.

The amp was originally purchased at EU Wurlitzer in Boston new back in late '66 or early '67 according to its original owner. Outside of some servicing early on by Boston-area amp tech Aztech Electronics (back when they worked out of their original location), it remained essentially untouched, with most of its original tubes still present.
