Ampeg BA600 115 Bass Combo Comes Close To Breaking Owen's Heart

Have you ever met that perfect someone, only to be devastated by their one fatal flaw? That's really nothing like what went on between Owen and this amp, but if you've ever wondered what Owen's like when he's miffed, now's your chance. Not pretty.

I like this guy,he seems cool.

cool bass, cool amp. I just can't stand an sm57 on guitar cabs let alone on bass.

Reading the manual and its specs sheds light on what the reviewer sees as the combo's shortcoming. The amp is rated as 600w @ 4 ohms. The 15" driver is a 4 ohm driver, so the amp won't handle any additional speaker load. Each 10" driver in the 210 is 8 ohms; when connected in parallel again produces the minimum allowed load of 4 ohms. It looks to me like Ampeg thinks the better solution is to run line out from one combo into the input of a second combo, if you need more power. Just a guess...

Anyone knows what the street price in Canadian $ for this amp ?

I got this combo and I don't know why but it doesn't seems to be as loud as 600W should be in my opinion. I couldn't hear myself loud enough with one guitar and drums. This is not cool.Though combo sounds good I'm looking for something else.

Finally a thorough review by a knowledgeable individual.

Are the 600W all there, or does the cone start to fart when driven loud, like the little Portaflex?

Are the 600W all there, or the combo starts to fart like the Portaflex series when driven high?

@TheArmogohma thanks, good review too

@RnRinc1 The 300 Watt features the modern channel, but lacks the vintage channel. That's the only difference as far as I know.
