Late 90s Gibson Thunderbird, late 70s Gibson Ripper and Ampeg amp/cabs

FlyGuitars What kind of set up do you use live?

JMJ SVP-CL preamps, SVT-1600 and QSC PowerAmps, two Ampeg 8x10 cabs,

FlyGuitars Any Effects?

JMJ Piles and piles of them. I have three custom boards - two for the studio and one for live.

FlyGuitars And in the studio?

JMJ Basses and effects going into a B-15 or an SVT. Along with that is an amazing Divided By 13 bass rig I use as well, 200 watt, all tube with a 4 x 12 cabinet fitted with Celestions. Face melting.

Two of Justins Ampeg B-15s. Left a 1969, right a 1974. - "they're as important to me as a great bass"

FlyGuitars One classic Gibson bass you don't use is an EB2, but you regularly use other hollow-bodies, like the Guild Starfire. What do you like about the Starfire over the EB2?

JMJ Starfires are balanced sounding and have room for more "finesse" playing, I feel. EB2's are too heavy in the low end for me in terms of what I use the Starfires for, though I should probably own one. The Starfire has become my sound on a lot of records, most notably on Sea Change..."Paper Tiger", "End of the Day", "Lonesome Tears", songs like that....that bass sound is Starfire >> Ampeg B-15R >> Neumann FET 47, no DI.

Milford, New Jersey, 088**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$3500

The sound of these B15 combos is on just about every Motown and Soul record recorded during the 60s and 70s and have continued to be the choice of MANY artists across all genres to this day.

These blue checkered models are some of the most sought after B-15 variations due to their visual association with classic players such as James Jamerson. This is a 66 according to the serial number. It is working perfectly and was recently ... more

1962 Ampeg B-15N Portaflex 25-Watt 1x15" Bass Combo Random Navy Flair Altec 418

Milford, New Jersey, 088**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$3500

TNot a show queen but a certainly a studio king. A 1962 Ampeg B-15N. Made here in Linden, NJ around 1962. Some of the pots date to late 61. This is prior to chassis serial numbers so its not as easy to date exactly. The serial number is present on the cabinet. There are many variations of the B-15N circuit in the 60s. This is the earliest N circuit. This one is interesting due to it featuring a 5U4 rectifier rather than the 5AR4 and power tubes are 6L6 rather than 6L6GC. In both scenarios ... more

Milford, New Jersey, 088**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$1500

Here's a VERY rare opportunity to own a B-15S 15" extension cabinet. Most of the time you see cabinets that were stripped of the amplifier. This was manufactured as an extension cabinet. This is not an orphan cabinet from a complete amplifier. You can see its fitted with the original cups on top that the steel feet would sit in rather than having the shock mounts for the amp chassis. The cabinet is in original cosmetic condition however I am doubting the speaker is original. Its not very ... more

Milford, New Jersey, 088**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$900

Here's a rarity. An Oliver Uniflex 1x15 combo. I believe this is a B-150 model although its not labeled anywhere. This might be an early build. No serial tag, hand written tube labeling. I've seen this exact writing on other Oliver's. This has a solid state rectifier unlike some other b-150s ive seen. Not sure if that was an option or if this is technically a different model. Oliver schematics changed often in the short time they were made and ????production wasn't consistent with what I've ... more
