MGR/Leonard the Great and Future Bass Playing Star « Ampeg BA-115 »
Published on 12/12/02 at 15:00I bought it at the guitar center in Clackamas OR for $450 because i wanted a good amp for a good price and this is the one!!!
the amp has a wide variety of tones to choose from, the 5 posistion selector switch can get you a jazzy, a blusey, a slappy, a growly, and a classic rocky tone all in the turn of a knob. The tone i have is great, a mix between old Geezer Butler and John McVie. Old classics that forever changed the sound of the bass. another great thing is you can easily copy tone of idols if you want, i have gotten the sounds of Cliff Burton, Jason Newsted, Justin Chancellor, Geezer Butler, even Lemmy Kilmster(granted i used an overdrive pedal, but it sure sounded good) all the awesome sounds you could ever ask for.
The only downside i see is that it has a lot of white sound coming out of the speaker, but unlike other amps i have played, it is always the same volume, no matter how loud you are playing into it
Nice larger 15 inch speaker, about 2 feet up and across, very sturdy, tilt back feature for practicing. Knobs for EQ and volume are on top, not the front, so is input, so its harder to bump the knobs or step on the cord and unplug it. Great quality, i will always have it(even when im famous) great for small gigs and practicing.
Awesome amp, great sound, great quality, and for an extra $100 you can get a model with 16 digital effects. How Cool is that??? I recomend it to any classic rock or metal bassist. Oh yeah!! The model number, BA 115, look at it when you squint, it says BALLS, see!!!
