Pretty cool look - and with 100W into a 15, a reasonably versatile amp.

How heavy is it?

Nice looking!  Judging by the 2 side handles it must be heavy.  I'll bet it sounds good though.  You wanna sell me the B-100 now?   :mrgreen:

Actually it's surprisingly light.
And no, the Ampeg isn't for sale!  :)  That's my "money" amp.

Very "old school" sound, reminds me of my Ampeg B-100R, it's very similar, 100 watts, 1-15", no tweeter.
Definetly not a modern "high tech" sound. At first I thought maybe it was 'cause I was playing a Fender Jazz with flats thru it, so I tried a new Yamaha BB614 with active EQ and rounds, still didn't get too clanky. I dig it.

I tried a lighter one at home and I liked the sound of it. Indeed very old school.

Is that Bobby Dylan on the right?

Cool - feature-wise looks like it's very much in line with the B-100R  :)

Yes, very similar in features and tone. What it has that the Ampeg doesn't are: effects loop, tuner, XLR out. 'Course the Ampeg has casters!  ;)

And yes, that's Dylan on Fender Jazz over there.
