My brother used to own an Ampeg rig back in the 70's, so I looked at the new Ampeg range when I wanted to get a small studio bass amp. At first I was a little sceptical that I'd get much for $99.. But, I decided to buy the 8" model just on Ampeg's great rep. Nobody had reviewed this amp/cab. Wow! What a great bit of kit. This kit is really well designed.. AND fabricated. True quality in the build.. heavy, nicely finished and a really nice sound. I'm using (just) an Ibanez Mikro bass so I guess the guitar itself isn't making this amp sound good just by itself? In summary, really nice bass studio/practise amp. I like a clean tone myself and at 2 out of ten on the volume it fills an apartment room easily. Well done Ampeg. Haven't used customer support but you have to rate that.. Change that pls, Zzounds.com?

I bought this so I could leave my big bass amp at church . Tried to use this at church but to small ! Excellent for home practice not to loud but great for going over my song list ! Can’t beat it for the money ! Plan I buying an orange amp from zZounds soon ! Great service !!

I love this amp. It can get reasonably loud when you need it, but also sounds great at low volumes. It has very fat bottom end and never sounds mushy or undefined... and it definitely sounds like an Ampeg. There are plenty of tonal options as well. It's crazy that this little amp is so well made, sounds so great... and is only $99!

I ordered it on Tuesday morning and it arrived Thursday morning, two days later. I was very pleased because I needed it that afternoon for two gigs. I play an acoustic Epiphone Bass Guitar. The group with whom I play sometimes get pretty loud so I was able to crank the volume pretty loud. I set the amp on the angle facing up directly toward me so I could know how loud it was. In the past, a couple of band members have asked me to turn the volume down on a guitar amp belonging to another band member. I know I had the volume a lot higher than in the past and no one said anything. I asked them how the bass sounded and all said it was fine. I feel the difference is because of the warm sound coming out of the 8” speaker and my ability to adjust the sound to fit the group sound. I am very pleased with the bass amp and feel it will serve well for any gig I play for, one of which is a large hall with 100 or more people dining and conversing. It is quite noisy. I am very pleased for the price I paid.

The Ampeg B-108v2 is a great little practice/ small acoustic or jazz jam session amp. It has a nice warm tone that I admittedly have become addicted to. LOL. Light enough for me to toss it in the car.

This is the worst piece of gear I've ever owned. If I turn the volume, treble, or mid knobs past 12 o'clock the amp clips. On passive pickups, no preamp. If I turn the bass all the way up the speaker sounds like a worn out 15" that just can't pump anymore. There's an oddly high amount of static. When I plug in headphones the static is louder than the bass. The amp sounds fine at low volume and flat eq. But I just can't believe that Ampeg would make such an awful product. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, just a put around amp I can take room to room. What I got is so terrible I'm not going to even bother with customer service, and by the time I pay for return shipping back to zZounds I wont get anything back out of it that way either. Generally Ampeg makes awesome products, but skip this one. Buy literally anythjng else. It's like a first act with a nice shell. At least it isn't ugly.
