Ampeg recently started reissuing them.  But don't run out to the
store just yet.  The problem with them [and the Bassman reissue] is
that they have no overdrive, except that achieved by turning the
thing on ten [or 12!]  So, unless you're in a situation where you can
play the thind pegged out, it's not such a great idea, unless you can
tolerate the idea of putting a stomp-box in the front of it.  But if
you're gonna do that, why buy the amp in the first place?
