Members Ender_rpm Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ampeg-BA115HPT-1X15-100-Watt-Bass-Combo-Amp?sku=481723 Need a "big brother" for my B15 for rehearsals, and maybe to run in a side by side clean/dirty rig (muwahahaha) and they have this one on clearance. It's got a coupel features the regular Ba's don't have, namely a tube pre (not a ig deal) and a tweeter/horn control (big deal, I play with OD alot). Seems like a good price and the right features. Anyone use one? Have good/bad experiences? And yes, I know, Ampeg sux, made in vietland, etc. I like 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bryan316 Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 Weak. It's a very good amp for quiet practice, light rehearsals, and not blasting loud bands. But if your band is loud/strong enough, you just won't be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dDigitalPimp Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 those reviews would keep me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JeffBass Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 There's a big topic over at Talkbass that doesn't cast Ampeg's current situation in a very good light. Seems they just aren't stocking the stores, aren't communicating with the stores and aren't sending replacements/parts in a timely manner. Doesn't sound good. New ownership perhaps?A friend of mine had that Ampeg and didn't complain about it, but he sold it for a Line6 Lowdown combo (300w/15) and says he likes it much better.

Members Ender_rpm Posted April 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 yeah, reading more and more reviews here that QC is crap. BA115 100 watters seem to have fewer problems, as do the rocket bass series. The B200R seems to get pretty good reviews, and the blue tolex would match my oldie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the B200r are SO bulky & heavy on load in/out(especially at 4:30AM), or to haul up/down stairs, or lift in/out of your vehicle(unless you've got a van or the like). I can see those working in a situation where you can leave them for extended periods of time...much like I did for church. I hate the idea of buying a piece of equipment only to beat the livin' hell out of it. But if your looking for a gigging combo, look at Peavey's new neo TNT, or Roland's Cube100 with a neo 1x12" extention cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
