"Ampeg BA-210v2 Bass Combo Amplifier"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

When it come's to Bass Guitar, AMPEG is the bomb!! For years I've tried to reproduce the sound of a ampeg with no success, until I bought one (SVT 810E). I could only use it on concerts, but then Ampeg came out with the New BA-210v2 (a dream come true) small enough for small venues and big enough to get the job done in style. My main bass is a Fender P with emg,s, this amp was made for this bass. The clarity of tone and dept is phenomenal, but what else would you expect from Ampeg?As a life-er bass player no other amp that I've ever played can excite me like this one!!! Thanks Ampeg, and Thank you zZounds for making it so easy to own one!!!

"Good low cost combo amp"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
i got this becasue it is easier to move, set up and play versus by normal rig. A big plus is I can add an extra cab, usually a 15" and it sounds outstanding. A downside is it can get really muddy and/or boomy in the wrong set up. You really have to spend some time with it and know your acoustics in the venue and settings on the amp, but that could be said by any setup.I play a Fender P Bass with DR Black Beauty strings and the sound is a bit too bass heavy for me if the eq is set to 12 o'clock. With a bass cut and treble and high boost, I get the perfect tone for me with walking bass lines. I can boost the bass a bit and it is perfect for a samba bossa. I've had it for 4 months and no problems yet. I've played about 5 small gigs with it and I don't know how many hours of practice and it has come through every time. Overall, I'm sure you could do worse, but for the features and ~$400, it works for me. BTW, this was my first purchase from zZounds and I'll be making a lot more.

Many times people buy products just because some famous artist did. I prefer to experience it on my on. What I feel or hear is all about my own experience with the instrument.This amp is no doubt an excellent product. Power, depth, tightness, sweetness, and effects all in one single product. I love it!

"Massive"

Overall ampeg tonality with a compact portable enclosure and all the needs for a pro level amp. I got the smaller version but it was missing DI, Wattage and speaker out. This one is the perfect one out this series. I will say that I am not a fan of that cheap sounding fuzz it has, in my opinion this could’ve been removed. I have multiple pedals and this sounds like a mild fuzz that doesn’t do the amp justice. Either way if ur learning that aux input is awesome to run tracks and play to your tunes.

"Classic ampeg sound in a nice combo package"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I got this amp from zzounds about a month ago and have put it through the test like I do all my amps. It has performed much better than I had anticipated. With a 12" cab underneath it will be powerful enough to play even larger venues. If I play really big venues or out doors I usually rely on the pa or rent a stack anyway so this is perfect for me for it will fit in the backseat or trunk of the car perfectly. The sound is classic ampeg and I especially like the new scrambler feature which gives me the vibe of the older amps I used to play when I first started out on bass. Overall I'm impressed and pleased with my purchase. The only thing I wished they had added was a mid frequency shift like on the svt models.

"Ampeg quality and tone"

Don't let the two 10's fool you. This amp has plenty of power. With the usual Ampeg tone this amp does the job. Add a 15" cab and you can rock with anyone. Has more lower end than I thought two 10's could have. Impressed.

Wow! I lost a fender Rumble 500 v3 combo during hurricane Harvey.So I figured try Ampeg this time. The simple eq is more than sufficient. Add a bass sansamp, and opto co impression you get into svt territory. Great value.

"Great sound, but poorly built"

Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I debated endlessly between this combo and the Fender Rumble. Finally I decided to go with the Ampeg, and I was not happy with the decision. First of all, the good points: The amp really has a great tone. I loved the sounds I was getting from it, adjusting the EQ, Scrambler, etc. gave me a lot of great tones. Now the bad points: This thing rattles and buzzes terrible. I tightened up all of the screws, which were loose, but it didn't help. There were still some bad rattles coming from between amp, cabinet, speakers, everywhere. Also, the buttons and knobs feel very very cheap. Not good quality at all. And finally my last issue, when I did take it to practice to try it out, after about an hour the sound just cut out completely. The next day it was fine, but I'm concerned about the longevity of this unit. Ampeg needs to fix these issues, because it really does sound great.

I thought buying an amp online would be okay if it was from a reputable manufacturer like Ampeg I was wrong. There was a high frequency noise being produced by the amp after a few minuets of being powered up. I took it to the licensed repair place in town and they got ahold of Ampeg who told them they have received reports of this same problem and to return the amp. So that's how this purchase went

"Worst Ampeg I have ever owned!"

Overall: 2 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I got this delivered with a label saying it was opened. When I tried to play it all appeared to be good until I plugged in the headphones. I have a Jamhub which allows me to play silently, so I wanted to see what the headphone port would do in comparison. Was I in for a rude awakening. The headphone port worked nicely. However, after I unplugged the headphone the main speakers would not come back online. When the headphones are plugged in the main speakers go offline. It appears the headphone port stayed open preventing any sound from the main speakers. The bad thing was it happened on a Saturday hours before my annual family reunion performance causing me to have to cancel the engagement. Would have been nice it I could have gotten emergency support from zZounds.
