Ampeg Review: BA-115

Ampeg Bass Guitar Amplifiers

History:

Purchase: I bought this amp used (almost brand new) from a friend for 250$ (how about a deal?).

What I Like About This Ampeg BA-115: This amp is awesome! It sounds absolutely amazing, and is louder than my friends 4x12 cabinet! The presets are terrific, and they actually change the sound, which my other amp failed to do. IT'S A BEAST!!! For example, the first gig i did with it i had it up at full volume for the first time, and it blew itself back into a wall it was so loud and powerful! I am dead serious, THIS IS A BEAST!!!!

What I Do NOT Like About The Ampeg BA-115: Almost too much beast for me. This thing weighs 106 pounds (no kidding), and doesn't fit through my front door. It really is huge. But that's not too much of a sacrifice for the great sound it makes.

Ampeg BA-115 Quality Rating: Rock solid construction. This amp didn't break after my 5' 10'' friend fell on it from 5 feet above (long story). Very good quality, looks good, tilts back for better sound delivery; really terrific!

Review Summary: The amp has better tone than anything else under 1000$; i swear on this thing. It is really terrific. The weight and size of it is annoying sometimes, but you won't believe how rewarding it is when you hear the sound it makes.

Rating of this Ampeg product: 5
