There's a reason why the Ampeg B-15N shaped the tone of electric bass guitars during the 60s, and continues to offer even more features in its plug-in form. The B-15N makes it easy to dial in the tone for your bass while also switching through the different collections of mic and amp choices in the FX Rack page.
This is my "amp" when in the studio

From the day I bought this I stopped using other bass amp sims. One of the venues I play at has a B-15N for its backline. This sounds and plays like the actual amp. It's great for recording and practice. What I mean by "plays" is that the amp responds realistically when you play harder or move up from the bridge to the neck
My favorite PA bass sim

I think I have all of the PA bass amp sims, and this one turns out to be the one I use most of the time. It's hard to describe sounds, but I'll describe it as having an easy richness and thickness about it that comes easily - just twist a couple knobs and I'm at a good sound. My primary usage is for rock/indie oriented songwriting and it gets me there fast without fuss.
Perfect

Perfect for solid, sit-in-the-mix bass, including some serious attitude if wanted. But its not the in-your-face-epic-huge sound of the SVT-VR and SVT-3. For me that makes B-15N a really nice compliment to those products since I need to cover a lot of different genres. Not sure how it stacks up to mic'ing up the real deal, but it sounds great in a mix.
Legendary!

Legendary amp, very convincing, authentic simulation! Great for bass, of course, the perfect companion for every Precision, Jazz Bass or Rickenbacker, of course, but also does a great job in combination with modern basses. As I am not really a bass player, I unfortunately „misuse“ this plugin mostly as a clean to semi-clean guitar amp, as it has a very unique, top-notch clean sound, fuller bodied, more balanced than a Fender, for my taste even better sounding than most Fender Tweed amps, more similar to a Vox, Hiwatt or even an old, but very rare Mullard, but with it's very unique, own vintage tube character. Also harmonizes wonderfully as a clean to semi-clean amp / channel, if you use a 1987 or 1959 Plexi for tube overdrive or even if used in parallel or combine or blend them with a pedal. Wonderful, singing, decent, very naturally, organically sounding vintage tube overdrive at higher volume settings, also works well with overdrive pedals in front (KC, OCD, RAT,...), even with horn activated, which adds some nice treble peaks without ever sounding too harsh or shrill. The speaker / cabinets section even offers some IR's with SM57‘s, which work perfectly well for my needs, but also a lot of other presets (especially the Dyn+Ribbon combinations) sound and work fine. The selection of the included 1x15, 4x10, 8x10 cabinets allows a lot of fine tuning, if they are not enough for your needs, you still can use external cabinets. Besides, the GUI looks fantastic too.

Used the analog version in the 70's hard to tell if is analog or plugin when closing eyes . It also has many added options that did not exist on the analog one.
decent...

I've got a hardware of this amp - the plugin sounds kinda similar but not as good as a real one.

You can get a nice low end with this plugin, especially on a DI bass.

I don't write many reviews. I actually own an Ampeg PF-50T, very similar design but 50 watts. It's the first modelled amp that I can compare to a real amp I know and own. This thing blows my mind! I feel like I'm playing the real thing but with less headroom, cause of the wattage difference. Pure magic!!!
