Product Description
The Ampeg BA112 Bass Amplifier is a knockout practice amp with a 12-inch speaker and a 50-Watt power amp.Named after their 1950's counterparts, the Ampeg Bassamp Series combos embody all the elements that made Ampeg a household name among bass players. Innovative, versatile and great sounding, these amps incorporate a tilt-back monitor style making them great for the stage, studio and even the bedroom. The five position Style control gives you a choice of five different classic voices of the amplifiers that you can further adjust with the three bands of rotary EQ. The RCA inputs are perfect for playing along with a sequencer or CD player to hone your chops. BA112 dimensions: 17.25 x 17.25 x 11', 44 lbs.The History of AMPEG...In 1946, Everette Hull, an accomplished pianist and bass player, organized a partnership with Stanley Michaels under the name 'Michaels-Hull Electronic Labs.' Their mission was to produce a new microphone pickup that Hull designed. The pickup was fitted on the end of an upright bass and was dubbed the Amplified Peg or 'Ampeg' for short.In 1949, Hull became the sole proprietor and changed the name of the company to the Ampeg Bassamp Company. Since that time, Ampeg has produced some of the music industry's most innovative and memorable products, satisfying the needs of musicians all over the world. Many of these products feature incredibly unique features and performance capabilities resulting in six U.S. patents under the Ampeg brand name.In 1960, a design engineer by the name of Jess Oliver created a combo amplifier with a chassis that could be inverted and tucked inside the speaker enclosure, protecting the inner workings and increasing the portability of the amp. Nicknamed the 'Portaflex,' this amplifier became the standard in bass combos throughout the 60's and 70's.Also in the early 60's, Ampeg was the first company to incorporate reverb in an amplifier. The Reverb rocket preceded Fender

 Nice Sounding, Versitile Amp November 6, 2009

I purchased a BA112 almost a year ago from another vendor, and highly recommend it. Ampeg has included a selector switch that allows the user to move between 5 EQ pre-sets, as well as separate controls for bass, mid-range, and treble. I've found a workable set of settings for the knobs and now have three of the pre-sets that I move between for jazz, pop, and rock. The tilt back feature is great when playing through a house sound system and using the amp as a monitor. This amp has a true line out, unlike some amps that have headphone jacks that disable the amp when you are plugged in. There's a separate headphone out, too. The great thing, of course, about the line out is that you have more control over tone and volume and are just leaving it entirely in the hands of the sound engineer. In the church where I play we have some somewhat suspect direct boxes that tend to kick in and out at random. Not a big problem for me when I cart my Ampeg in; I can simply use the amp and work around the problems caused by the faulty direct boxes. The BA112 is sturdy and really has plenty of dynamic and tonal range, including very good bass response, especially for the cost.

I was needing a decent practice amp that had enough "oomph" to double as a stage monitor but did not cost a ton of money. I have only had it out of the box a day but have put it through it's paces and am pretty pleased with the sound quality, volume ("oomph") and physical design. It feels as solid as it sounds. I especially like the shaping knob that goes beyond just the EQ that let's you set the overall tone of the amp from warm tube amp-ish to bright and punchy alt. rock sound. At the price for a brand name amp such as Ampeg, this is a great value for the quality you are getting. One last thing I really dig that's hard to appreciate from the picture: it has a flat bottom but a wedge shaped back so it can be set flat on the floor (when spaces is at a premium or for practice) or it can laid back on the wedge back for use more as a stage monitor
