Ampeg · amplifier
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.
