- The BASSRIG Fifteen is an all-analogue amp recreation, based on the legendary Ampeg® B-15 Portaflex® amplifier. Introduced in the early 1960s, the B-15 was the first dedicated bass combo amp and is still highly sought after today, with its low output power and unique cab making it the perfect choice for the studio. While its signature warm clean tones and subtle overdrive are synonymous with the sound of ‘60s soul records, it’s at home in any genre that calls for a vintage bass tone. The BASSRIG Fifteen recreates the sound, feel and character of this timeless bass rig.
The Sound of Blues, Soul & Rock ‘N’ Roll.
The BASSRIG ’64 Black Panel is, quite simply, a complete vintage bass amp in a pedal. Based on Fender®’s Showman® and Bassman® amplifiers, we have used all-analogue circuitry to recreate a complete valve amp-style signal path, along with an all-analogue cabinet simulator, giving you the drive, grit and articulation of these classic amps in one small box.
Back in the days before modern bass amps, achieving high stage volumes with bass guitar was a challenge that required powerful, clean amps. Nobody fills this niche quite like Fender®. Their high-powered amps – designed with guitar and bass in mind – graced countless stages and studios throughout the 1960s. The Showman®, with its 2×15 cabinets, and the later Bassman® models boast an illustrious list of users between them, including Sir Paul McCartney, Crazy Horse’s Billy Talbot and our own personal favourite, Berry Oakley of The Allman Brothers.
