An Inside Look at the Classic Tones of the Ampeg Heritage B-15
“This is an instrument. It’s an amplifier…but I
really consider this an instrument, as it’s a complete expression of what you
are trying to do as a bass guitarist or producer.” - Garth FieldingAmpeg endorser, Garth Fielding, recently sent us one hell of
a video. He recently bought one of our limited-edition, US-made Heritage B-15s
and loved it so much, he wanted to show the world why it was so amazing.
Garth walks you through the tonal palette of the Heritage B-15,
with great examples of classic tones from the ‘60s and ‘70s. He shows you how
to pull those tones out of the amp and really is able to re-create the classic
vibe that has made the B-15 the most recorded amp in history.
So, check it out. If you have a B-15 of any era, I guarantee
you will want to go and play around with it after watching. If you don’t own a
B-15…well, then you don’t own a B-15. Oh wait, that’s from the new iPhone
commercial. I hope they don’t sue us.

After playing all four heads and cabs, Schmier signed each of the unit's hang tags. So, if you end up getting a new Ampeg Heritage SVT stack this year, check you tag. It could very well be the very rig tested by Schmier.
