ELECTRIC TUBE AMPLIFIERS: B SERIES

Most of the models in the B Series were either carry overs or modified versions of the M Series, which can be seen by their similar model numbers. For example the M14A became the B-14A, the M-15 became the B-15, etc. The B-16 Supersonic is probably the most popular model because of its similarities to the Fender Bassman. In the 1970s, Rickenbacker introduced three new tube amplifiers: the B-115, B-212, and B-410. These had little to do with the 1960s models but were labeled part of the B Series anyway.
