Guitar makers have advertised in music magazines such as Down Beat, Guitar Player and very many more. Some manufacturers advertised widely (Guild, Gibson, Fender) but many more didn't and adverts are few and far between. Here are some of my favourite ads out of the ones i've seen. You can browse through all the images from the category links above, or by manufacturer from the links below.

Milford, New Jersey, 088**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$1500

Here's a VERY rare opportunity to own a B-15S 15" extension cabinet. Most of the time you see cabinets that were stripped of the amplifier. This was manufactured as an extension cabinet. This is not an orphan cabinet from a complete amplifier. You can see its fitted with the original cups on top that the steel feet would sit in rather than having the shock mounts for the amp chassis. The cabinet is in original cosmetic condition however I am doubting the speaker is original. Its not very ... more

Oliver B150 Uniflex 1x15 Combo Bass Guitar Amplifier Serviced Jess Oliver Ampeg

Milford, New Jersey, 088**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$900

Here's a rarity. An Oliver Uniflex 1x15 combo. I believe this is a B-150 model although its not labeled anywhere. This might be an early build. No serial tag, hand written tube labeling. I've seen this exact writing on other Oliver's. This has a solid state rectifier unlike some other b-150s ive seen. Not sure if that was an option or if this is technically a different model. Oliver schematics changed often in the short time they were made and ????production wasn't consistent with what I've ... more
