Built in New York City by the Multivox company for Sorkin Music from the late 1940s into the 1960s, Premier-branded guitars and amplifiers featured unique and innovative designs with an era-appropriate Moderne aesthetic.
Originally intended for use with the electric bass guitar, Premier's B-160 Club Bass has become popular among guitarists on account of its rich and smooth breakup at reasonable volumes. A pair of 6V6 power tubes puts out roughly 15 watts of power through a 12" Jensen speaker. While the amp sports both "Accordion" and “Electric Bass Guitar" inputs, the B-160 offers a warmer, more pillowy response than one would expect from a typical guitar amplifier. Think of this amp as a distant cousin to the Tweed Deluxe that has been voiced to be slightly more compatible with the electric Bass.
This amp is largely original apart from an updated grounded power cable. The output transformer is dated to the 12th week of 1964 (682 412) The Jensen Special Design C12PS speaker is dated to the 40th week of 1964. The amp sports an array vintage tubes.
