![]() ![]() Some later stuff is fine as well, but is not to be confused with Ampeg from the '60's and '70s. I won't speak about the post-Magnavox Ampeg amps - the brand got kicked around quite a bit. Most of their gear from - 1979 is fabulous, and I have pile of them around here somewhere - I collected them for a few years. I'm a fan of old Ampegs - they are great amps, with several distinct design and ownership periods. Good luck with whichever way you go on it. Add to that the cost of finding new 7591s (or is it the 7951) if those two ever need to be replaced and it becomes a difficult amp to gig with. I used to drag two Fender Twins around at one point and that got old really fast. ![]() Not good if you're going to drag something like that from gig to gig. I used to look at it like it was a console amp not meant to be moved from its final resting place. That thing was about 80 pounds of solid wood and metal. (There's even one on eBay now but the price is somewhere around $3 grand). I used to be a bass player in the late 60's and the old B-15 was the Holy Grail of amps. The Ampegs were not light amps unless you're talking about the Jet. So my beloved SFPR and Clarus/RS8vER are getting the dreaded raised eyebrow these days.Īnyway, upon careful consideration, the last thing I need is another 60 lb amp, no matter how orgasmic it sounds.I'll admit one thing. However I'm planning to actually get out and play with people soon, including drummers. But I'm afraid I just scored a Jazzmaster Ultralight. ![]()
