The BT 15 D was an incredible amp. I actively used one from
68 to 75 and then stored it til I sold it with my EB-O in 2006
I only used one cabinet for practice and could keep up
playing bass with my guitar player who had a Marshall
I was impressed by the design of the cabinet with two
handles and the portaflex head. I was never that
strong but could lift it through the glass hatchback
of my 71 AMC Gremlin. When I played with the Saint
University Pep Band we would have to carry this amp
up many flights of stairs in the St Louis Blues Stadium
and Keil Auditorium The amps had great vinyl covers
with zippers that were never a fight to get on unlike my
68 Fender Bassman.
The double cabinet was great—-two 15 inch speakers
for rock jobs and a single 15 in a more reasonable
sized cabinet when I played with the symphonic
orchestra and concert band in the high school I
attended.
It had a treble boost circuit which I never tried but
I have always wondered if the treble boost would
make an EB-O sound like a EB-3
The BT 15D brought out the best in my EB-O. I really
liked the deep throaty bass it projected throughout
the whole tonal range. It did a good job with my first
bass, a 67 Fender Mustang.
My current Squier Precision, Squier Jaguar
short scale and Fender Accoustic bass guitar
With 15 watt Fender bass amp have never
given me the deep bass voice I like as did the
BT 15-D
I have read that it was not a popular amp but
mine always served me well, especially with
the cool backlit front panel
