The Ampeg BA115 is a portable, great-sounding bass combo. With 5 style-shaping options and a 3-band EQ, the Ampeg BA115 helps you find your low end tone.

When you need a portable rig with legendary Ampeg tone, look no further than the BA115. The BA115 is a powerful combo that features a 100-Watt power section and a single 15-inch Ampeg speaker that can rock a small- to medium-sized venue. Just plug in and you're ready to rock.

No matter what sound you're after, the BA115's Style Control puts absolute tone at your fingertips. With five presets to choose from, and the tone-sculpting capabilities of an onboard 3-band EQ, you'll be dialed in before the drummer can finish setting up his high-hat.

The Ampeg BA115's monitor-style, tilt-back design allows you to put the sound where you want it, which is especially handy when you're using the built-in DI for recording or front of house applications. Rock-solid construction and Ampeg thump to go, the BA115.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
This amp will remain my practice amp and a great backup for live shows for a very long time. I may even try recording with it in the future.
Sound
Sound quality is great, with widely adjustable EQ. The five position quick selector is great if you want to shift EQ between songs without much fuss, I use it switching between jazz and rock sounds. With the 15" speaker, rock is more suited to the amp, but it does include a tweeter to get nice response in the upper registers.
Features
Slightly underpowered for live shows, it works best in rehersal and very small venues. But then I wouldn't really expect anything else from a combo amp, most live shows I play with seperate amp and cabs. The XLR output is very impressive for an amp as low a price as this. I've never tried recording with it, but I'd certainly be tempted to try. CD inputs are a joke and shouldn't even be on the amp. Tweater is a good inclusion but also makes the amplifier hiss more pronounced.
Quality
Amp looks great from all angles. Tilt back cabinet is kinda cheesy, but keeps people from setting anything on top of it. Very heavy construction, a building could collapse on it and it would come out without a scratch.
Value
Has great features for a low to mid price combo amp.
The Wow Factor
Having this set up on stage just makes you look good. Hiding all the controls and inputs on the upper rear leaves the front undisturbed for a nice clean look
