Used c1969 Ampeg B-25 Amplifier head serial number 07656.
This amp head is in very good condition, fully functional and cosmetically showing patina.
Various “scuffs and marks” abound. As with many of these amps the rubber chassis mounts decayed and were replaced with wood blocks. The “courtesy” outlet was removed probably when the AC cable was replaced with a grounded cable. For some unknown reason, the main speaker jack location was swapped with the hum-balance control.
In my entire storied life, I have never seen a B-25. Only B-25-Bs
Why is that?
According to “Ampeg – The Story Behind The Sound”.
“The B-25 guitar amp and… the B-25-B bass amp were 2 channel 55 watt models, each driving a 2x15 cabinet. The amps were identical except for the speakers. Since the B-25 lacked reverb it was…discontinued by the end of the year.”
No wonder B-25-Bs always sounded great with guitar. And no wonder when we first acquired this B-25 we tested it with a bass.
This is a great sounding and really cool amp. Don’t show up with another Bandmaster when you can show up with a B-25!
“We test every used amp and pedal when we buy it and bring it up to our standards before we offer it for sale. Then we burn it in for an hour or so before we ship so that there are no surprises.”

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
