The Ampeg BA500 is a solid state bass combo pushing out 350 watts into two 10" speakers. There is also a horn for the highs.
It's got a three band parametric EQ and nine band graphic EQ.
Also useful is the pop-in casters to help move it around.
Sound: [9]
Sounds good with both my Precision and my Jazz bass.
I find with the EQ you can get a really big tonal range on this amp so it'll suit many styles of playing.
Even driving the amp really hard I find that it doesn't distort.
It can tilt back so you can really hear yourself much better - a nice feature.
Reliability & Durability: [9]
It has a well made, solid construction with metal corner protectors.
I've only had it for a while but it does seem to look like it will last. I know 2 other people who have this Ampeg and they have had no problems. I bought it really because I'd used theirs. Overall Rating: [9]
A great bass amp for the money. It is my first bigger amp and I am very happy. It's got the power that I was struggling to achieve before. Now I can really be heard - a problem before in rehearsals.
It is a good bass combo although maybe in a few years time I will go with a separate amp and cab - who knows.
