The Ampeg BA-115 V2 is a 150-watt solid-state bass combo amplifier with a 15-inch speaker, designed for rehearsal, small-to-medium gigs, and versatile bass practice. It delivers characteristic Ampeg mid-focused tone with a creamy, present character suited to its rock heritage, complemented by a Scrambler overdrive circuit for adding aggressive edge, five style EQ shaping options, and a 3-band EQ. A high-quality tweeter provides extended top-end response. Bridging the gap between practice amp and gigging combo, the BA-115 V2 is positioned as a self-contained bass solution across rehearsal and smaller live applications including rock, funk, and smooth dub-style playing.
The Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-112 is a 100-watt, 1x12-inch bass combo amplifier in the Rocket Bass series, featuring Ampeg's Super Grit Technology (SGT) overdrive and an SVT-inspired preamp voicing. The 12-inch driver delivers more headroom and low-frequency presence than the RB-110 while remaining compact and portable. Three-band EQ, SGT drive, a rear XLR DI, and headphone and aux connections make it versatile across rehearsal, small-venue gigging, and home recording. It delivers warm, slightly mid-forward Ampeg character suited for rock, blues, soul, and practice situations where a full stack is impractical.
