Ampeg "Joey"???

[drewl]

Weird, an Ampeg Portaflex labelled "Joey" in the light up plastic?

Any of you guys see one of these?
It uses the hold down clamps for it's speaker connections.
All original tubes, sounds incredible.

I knew a guy in high school who had a B15 Portaflex and he got the lucite engraved with his name-Paul. It was a pretty common thing back in the day.

You mean something like this "J.M.D." Ampeg??

[drewl]

yeah, exactly like that.
What was that, an option?
Pretty cool unless you buy it used.

[J M Fahey]

Well, if you buy it used and it says "Jaco P." or some equivalent name ... it might be cool too

Yes, it was an option. I think it was like 50 cents or something like that.
