Ampeg B-15R Bass Amp

The Sound of Soulful Low End
The Ampeg B-15R is a reissue of the iconic flip-top bass amp, delivering the warm, rounded, and vintage tube-driven tone that defined countless classic records. At Rupert Street Recording, it’s our top choice for bass tracking, offering fat lows, smooth mids, and a beautifully musical breakup when pushed.
The original B-15 was a studio staple at Motown and Stax, used by legends like James Jamerson and Duck Dunn. The B-15R brings that same timeless tone and vibe into the modern studio—with the added benefit of switchable tube/solid-state rectification.
