I bought this same amp 3 years ago new i love it use it for keyboards & synths home studio no problems ever

[@bullfrogboss8008]

I use my Ampeg BA108 even for guitar and it sounds surprisingly good

[@willnottsubmitt3514]

Thank you Sir. Just ordered one for an area near a desk to give me another place to practice. Reviews looked good for just a small low volume practice amp.
Confirms my purchase. Wished I'd seen this first. 👍

[@AndreasBrink]

I'm glad the video was of help!

[@keithruddell1800]

surprised low end from an 8" + sm57. great playing as always.

[@AndreasBrink]

Thanks!

[@rd6228]

Great Demo. I have always loved the use of text in all your videos, and the editing and old school vibe of your content is top notch.
I have a bit of a request.
Could you do more material with the Aguilar Tonehammer 500 in the coming weeks.

[@AndreasBrink]

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to write this! I don't have the Aguilar anymore, I wanted a more transparent sound and got me a a different amp. I still think the Aguilar is of the best quality and great for a vintage type of warmer sound though.

[@hetschhog]

Great playing and beautyful P bass sound! Love it.

[@AndreasBrink]

Thank you!

[@markbass354]

holy cow Andreas you can make any amp sound good ,
I'm having problems with my right hand , the use of a pick has helped tremendously.
I ordered the Dunlop Big Stubby 2.0mm from Amazon.

[@Mark761966]

And thank YOU for not slapping :D

[@NomadicIsaac]

Thanks for not slapping? More like "Thanks for not playing bass"--he's playing with a pick! #Sarcasm

[@TheRezus35]

so Paul McCartney was not a bass player..?

[@GuilhermeBrancaleone]

Not to mention Chris Squire, Rick Danko, John Paul Jones, John Entwistle, etc, etc...

Check mate!

Thanks, Great Demo.

[@AndreasBrink]

Thanks!

[@robb7439]

Sounds great. I'm sold.... :-)

[@AndreasBrink]

Thanks!

[@robb7439]

Had mine for nearly a week now. Brilliant! It's got the Ampeg quality you'd expect - best practice amp I've owned by a country mile.

[@detsistaaventyret]

Coolt! Det där är bra grejer! Har BA 210an själv...allt man behöver nu för tiden! Skönt att slippa släpa "kylskåp"

[@AndreasBrink]

Tack! Jag saknar inte heller tiden då en basförstärkare var tvungen att vara enormt stor för att höras.

[@detsistaaventyret]

Är väldigt förtjust i ditt basspel! Svänget! Du har det!

[@AndreasBrink]

Man tackar, svänget är det kanske allra viktigaste i de flesta typer av musik.

[@hodaridaniels8786]

Nice Ampeg amp sounds good

[@jorgesxbass7606]

Nice Job.
Fender rumble 100 X Ampeg 112?
On Fender Jazz bass.
Thanks

[@hunter1s]

Hello, I'm looking for a bass amp for my small home recording studio. Would this one be powerful enough to record? (postpunk, shoegaze, alternative rock)

[@AndreasBrink]

If you are not recording a whole band simultaneously it's powerful enough. It doesn't have a DI out though, so miking it is the only alternative.

[@hunter1s]

Thank you, I'm recording every instrument separately. :)

[@alskndlaskndal]

I'm thinking of getting one of these to replace my BA10 which is a little big for a practice amp. Do you think this would be loud enough to play an acoustic coffeehouse show?

[@AndreasBrink]

It should work, but personally I would prefer something with a little bit more power than 20 watts.

[@Graszczur]

The old version of BA 108 is 30 watt

[@terribletcm]

Amazing! Any song list? That first song is beast!

[@AndreasBrink]

Thanks! It's all improvised though.

[@JuanAntonioF]

Does it sound loud enough to rehearse with a band?

[@AndreasBrink]

I wouldn't use for anything that involves drums.

[@johnnycochran6128]

Great demo. I have this same amp, and any time I take the volume over 1-1.5, I get a nasty distorted sound. I was considering returning it for the BA-110. I can't figure out if it's the speaker or something in the box.

[@jmcsquared18]

I don't think it is good for, nor supposed to be used for, high-volume sessions like live performances. I use it at home for just some simple jamming and it works well for me in that context. I like a little bit of an in-your-face sound but it isn't unpleasant in any way with a volume setting less than 1.

[@Justice_Hammer]

I had a problem with buzzes on many frequencies once the volume was raised. The speaker has no foam between it and the cab so it's just wood on metal. I had some foam pads (super thin) left over from another speaker i had bought for something else - pulled out the speaker, put the foam underneath, popped speaker back in (now with foam between metal and wood). I'm pretty sure this is your issue, assuming you had the active/ passive pad worked out already

[@samod7550]

Do you think it would be better than the Hartke HD25?

[@AndreasBrink]

In my experience, yes.

[@JonahCBR]

How are you recording the amp? SM57 off axis?

[@billwhite9703]

It's shown in the video. 1:04

[@NunoCorreiaBass]

😉

[@kaybhee6]

drum sounds from bass...

[@amj20007]

Better than the Fender Rumble 15?

[@AndreasBrink]

I have owned both. This is absolutely a better amp.

[@rzr__]

What about Ashdown AAA series? I heard that both of them are great amps for practice at home.

[@jmwreck]

@@AndreasBrink do you think BA108 is better than the rumble 25 as well?

[@AndreasBrink]

@@jmwreck Yes I do.

[@elmanitasdeplomo]

No fingerstyle!?

[@AndreasBrink]

That's correct. Don't tell the bass police.
