"Excellent Bass Amp"

Ampeg has always been a fantastic Bass Amp company. They are well known for their build quality and sound, and this Amp does not let down. While the Scrambler function isn't quite on par with the sound you get from a true SVT tube head, it is still very nice. The single 15 has plenty of punch and tone, and the tweeter handles the highs very well. The combo amp would be great for a beginner or a pro. For the price I dont think you can get a better practice Amp.... Notice I do say practice amp.... It works well while playing with others during a practice session, or maybe even a small venue, it will hold its own... BUT as far as a gigging amp for larger spaces it has one draw back, which is the reason I can not give it five stars, NO additional speaker out. The B210 has an additional speaker out, and is a similar price range, which is why I can not figure out why Ampeg did not put a similar Amp head into this combo. I personally prefer a single 15 to a double 10, and If I need an additional speaker, I would rather add another single 15. Again, that is personal preference, so I cant knock Ampeg for it too much i guess.

Great sounding amp. I never owned an ampeg combo before. But Ive own a head made by them. I cant remember the model. Anyway it didnt impress me and I sold it. This one does impress me tho. It has any sound you may need. Im strictly an old school R&B bassist. So I like alot of low end. I dont use most of the other features just the eq. It has the power close to 150watts. But of course you get better sounds at about 75 or 80%. I recommend this amp for practice and club gig. NICE AMP

"WARM AMPEG B115 BASS SOUNDS FOR A GREAT PRICE!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

When I added the Fender bass to my musical repertoire fifty years ago, true bass amps were few and far between. However, the Ampeg Bass Amp line was already there, and Ampeg bass amps had a room-filling warmth that went far beyond the performance offered by the competition. If you can find a used one today, it's probably selling for four or five times what it sold for new. When this new, streamlined model came out it caught my eye immediately. I don't play gigs much any more, at my age, but it's nice to have an amp that could handle a small-to-medium venue-- and it certainly doesn't sound like a practice amp. I haven't been through all the features yet, but the power and tone are THERE, and that's what I was looking for. And the unique wedge-shaped cabinet really causes heads to turn!

Great features that simulate a tube amp. Its 150 watts of raw bass with strong highs. Recommended as a small venue amp or practice amp. It sounds like an Ampeg and feels like a tank, but if you need an amp for medium to large venues, this is not the amp for you.For what I needed it for, its perfect.

first of all a shout out to zZounds. I ordered this at 540 in the afternoon, and it was here by 1130 the next day!! I was blown away. I was also blown away by the tone and sound of this amp. the big 15 has an intense full deep sound. sounds good mostly flat and with the ultra low engaged. I love the option to bypass the tweeter. gives you just one more tasty option. I play jazz and wield a fretless fender jazz 95% of the time. the combination is what I have dreamed of for quite some time and it not only met but exceeded my expectations. I'm really happy with this purchase.
