M-15 ?s

Post by metman »

I need a handle for my m-15 amp,Its a longer one, any ideas. You seem to see the same old rick amps on ebay,anyone seen an m-15 or m-12? In the gallery I see amps I have never even heard of the m-23, m38. I love my m15 and would not ever sell it,Its one of my favorite amps and I have had a bunch. Any opinions of how these vintage amps stack up against old fenders etc. Also does the B series sound the same as the M series. I have just joined the site so hello fellow rick amp fans,and thanks for any replies

Welcome Eddy. The M15 is a great amplifier. Does your M15 have the 4 inch tweeter? The M15 is similar to Fender models which it stacks up well against, from all reports that have been passed my way. I would love some detailed photos of this amplifier.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

I will post some pics a bit later,will be moving soon. This one does have the 4 inch tweeter,but I have disconnected it,did not like the sound.It is not the orginal one also.It has a handle but it is a makeshift leather one,would like a stronger nicer one. I assume finding an original one is a shot in the dark.Amp is in great shape,I think it sounds really nice,I gig so it has played out alot.The first channel is brighter setzer,3rd channel a bit darker,srv. The 15" jensen is sweet,I would love to get some of the other models someday,will these amps ever be worth big money? in a way I hope not, so I can buy some more.LOL.This one has a standby red light and green when its on,do the other larger m series have them? Has anyone played on the 4x10 tweed one?

I recently acquired an m-15......starting to get it back in shape,
curious though have seen tube sets advertised with 4 of the same tubes
in preamp section, mine has 3 the same but one 6j5. After looking inside the amp
chasis, indeed there are two pins on the socket which are not wired matching the
vacant pins on a 6j5. I'm thinking that the 6j5 is the correct tube, wish the tube
ID's were stamped on the chasis. Can anyone confirm that the 6j5 is the correct
tube?
I beleive that this is an early model, the handle is leather and the tubes, except the 6l6's are
metal.
Thanks for any help.
