Ampeg BA115T Review (Part 1)

[TheDarthBueno]

I have that very amp my friend

[runninonempiy]

I can give you some advise for that tuner...OPEN THE WINDOW AND THOUGH IT AS FAR AS YOU CAN!!!!I

[Alienpubes]

BA115T? Whats the T?

[Alienpubes]

@Alienpubes nevermind. I wrote the comment before watching the vid. :p

[TheEdros]

you are an idiot,and the ampeg is great

[Parmenides480BC]

hah "you can see what I'm running it through right here, thats a child's dictionary"

First off, fantastic review so far the only other one I have seen so far is some spokesman rambling on about all the other products they offer and how the volume knob makes it louder.

Second of all, does the Scholastic Children's Dictionary add much to the sound? i was considering buying one just to add a little gain. What do you think?

[TheSpartanfan]

@Parmenides480BC Well it's no Oxford, but it'll get you bearable reverb ;)

[lilgmichael]

I play with an active/passive bass

Any idea if i'm okay to play active through the 0.0db input or would i need to play passive?

I'm assuming i'd need to play through the -15db input active but i'm a bit of a dunce with this right now. My amp wont arrive for another day or two so i'm trying to find out asap. Thanks

[TheSpartanfan]

@lilgmichael You can play through both. It's just that the -15db just cuts volume for sculpting (sound). Just play through both starting on a LOW volume then move up and see which you like.

[lilgmichael]

@TheSpartanfan

Thanks a lot man!

I recorded with the BA115HP (I think) and an AKG D112 kick mic at college a few months back and it was the nicest sound i've ever heard but i cant remember if i was active or passive.

If you're interested my settings were Style 4 / Bass 1 O'clock/ mid 11/ treble 12 i think, using a Warwick STD5 Corvette Ash Active

[Nddddtek]

LOL - Thai Whore!!!!!

[FunkyMcNastyBass]

thank you for not showering. that amp smells good at least

[mattliebl6199]

how much does this amp weigh?

[TheSpartanfan]

@mattliebl6199 Around 50 lbs. 

[FMJman1]

@TheSpartanfan hey what do you think about the Behringer Ultrabass BXL900 bass amp? have you had any exoerience with it? Its 90 wats. I really need somthing better than my 15 wat amp at a low cost.

[telemax112]

I have that same dictionary! I'm picking this amp up this week...you're a badass!

[Jimihendrix6699]

you could be a salesmen

[DarkSiteBass]

are 112s any good?

[Corpsegrinder54]

whats up a.c  how big is it from top 2 bottom ????

[TheSpartanfan]

@Corpsegrinder54 Like 2 ft, I'd say

[Corpsegrinder54]

@TheSpartanfan thx im thinking of getting 1. got no space in my room lol

[cbarrett34]

i hear it hums too much, is that true?

[plaguewolf999]

Dude great review and great amp.I just got my ampeg ba-112 and after seeing this makes me wana get a ba115t fucking a its sweet.

[TheSpartanfan]

@plaguewolf999 The 112 is also amazing, man. Awesome choice :)

[hofnerbass24]

dude how do you take the mesh cover off of this amp, my piezo tweeter is making a bad crackle noise, do u know how i take the cover off to check it out.

[MrBasementJams]

@hofnerbass24

try taking the corner metal piece screws out and taking apart the wood body

[hofnerbass24]

ok ill try that and get back to u

[Skaterdude518]

what difference does the tube make?

[TheSpartanfan]

Sounds warmer. Very desirable.

[beninjamin]

can you do a small gig with it?

[TheSpartanfan]

Yes sir, you can. I do all the time.

[AttitudeCastle]

what did/would you have thought you could use it for?

I mean i do large hall gigs with 500W with the volume down a bit

[beninjamin]

small gigs like bars etc

[AttitudeCastle]

i see what your getting at :)

i use mine as a stage monitor, for small gigs like bars, and at rehearsals, i even use it for practise at home sometimes,

my brother plays guitar, he uses a 15W amp for bars, but it all really depends

[TheSpartanfan]

Yeah, I use this for EVERYTHING, even though I have a smaller Ibanez for practice lol

[fallingspears77]

is it a tube?

[AttitudeCastle]

i use this as my moniter, and for practise, very nice little amp =D

good review too,

[tbcass]

I have the BA115. Is quite a bit cheaper than the BA115T and sounds the same. Getting the T version is not worth the extra money IMO. Both are fantastic amps. The sound is awesome for 100 watts.

[D4athPanda]

great video. do you know if this bitch supports active pups? 'cause I use an ampeg at college with no active/passive switch or separate inputs, so I just get this high frequency squeal...

[TheSpartanfan]

Yes it does. I use active pickups through it and it's golden.

[D4athPanda]

thanks for the quick reply. now I've just gotta decide whether it's worth saving up the extra cash for the BA115T rather than the BA115...

[TheSpartanfan]

Actually, honestly the "T" is better IMHO.

I got it on sale, but personally I think it's very nice.

[kalci]

hi!

where was it made?

[TheSpartanfan]

I think in the US, I'm not sure - but I searched it and thats what I'm finding.

[RockTheBass92]

a thai whore! haha wow

[RockTheBass92]

thanks for the review..im pickin this amp up soon for my church

[nirvana922]

just what i needed! do you know if its discontinued??? i cant find it anywhere...

[elmihai]

"goes straight to your head" lol

I was actually interested in buying one of this and your review helped me clear some issues I had. Thanks for the info and it was a really good review.

BTW BA115 is less expensive then BA115 (almost 100$ difference), so you really got a good deal. Have fun playing it.

[Lagspike99]

Great video/review really!

[TheSpartanfan]

Thank you :)
