An outstanding original 1964 Ampeg B-18, a legendary vintage bass amplifier from the golden era of American tube amplification.

This is an exceptional example, purchased directly from a player. An amplifier that has clearly been used for its intended purpose and has developed the kind of character that makes great vintage equipment so special.

Sonically, it is simply fantastic. Extremely articulate and clear, with an incredibly rich and focused midrange. The sound is full, warm and powerful, yet remarkably defined. It has that unmistakable Ampeg character that is so difficult to replicate with modern equipment.

A truly special-sounding amplifier and a remarkable vintage find. Original, authentic and full of character.
