The Ampeg BA600115 bass combo is the very essence of portability. Although it packs a 15 inch LF driver, an HF horn (with Level control), and 600 watts of pure Ampeg power into just over four cubic feet, the BA600115 is supremely transportable. You get Ampeg’s legendary tone-shaping thanks to the multi-stage 12AX7 tube preamp, Style control, 3-Band EQ, and Ultra-Hi/Lo switches, all of which make the BA600 the ultimate in versatility.

User Reviews:
Feature:
Has a lot of special effects and just a lot of stuff to mess with. You can use this for a lot of different style of playing
Quality:
The quality is good except that it is heavy. It’s hard to carry this around but the sound is great.
Value:
Great!
Desirability:
It’s big and heavy. You get your highs and your lows. Just great.
Sound:
This has great sound. The amp may hiss a little bit if your cable is twisted or if you turn it up too loud but excellent. I love all the settings especially the Grind. Grind may be compared to the distorted bass you hear from Muse’s Hysteria.
Ease of Use:
It’s not that hard to plug it in and play. I think it’s relatively easy to get the sound you want.
Support:
Never used them but assuming they’re good.
Overall:
I love everything about it but wish it was just lighter. It’s probably because I was using a 10 watt amp before this… xD
The MAX® 115 bass combo amp delivers more bass in a space saving package.

With 50 watts of power that includes DDT™ speaker protection and a 15 in. heavy-duty woofer, the Peavey MAX® 115 is great for plenty of gigs and rehearsals.

Feature:
Tuner is useful and handy. Enough inputs and outputs for most purposes. Works as a DI. Can plug in another instrument or mic. AA battery power lasts a long time (13 hours) and you can get AA batteries practically anywhere. 3-band equalizer is useful. Rugged.
Quality:
Seems nearly bulletproof. Knobs and switches are recessed so you’re not likely to damage them without some bad luck.
Value:
Expensive for a practice amp but the features and ruggedness makes up for it. There isn’t a better busking amp for this price.
Desirability:
Nice combination of features. I like it a lot. It’s not super loud but if you’re just playing by yourself or in a smaller place, it’s loud enough.
Sound:
Loud and low for a 5 watt amp with 4″ drivers. Great for practice or busking. COSM models sound decent.
Ease of Use:
I didn’t get a manual with it but was able to use it immediately. Does what you expect when you start twiddling the knobs.
Support:
Called Roland for a manual and they offered to send me one immediately. Phone rep was friendly and helpful.
Overall:
I can’t think of another practice/busking battery-powered amp that’s better for the price. The tuner, COSM models, effects, and input/outputs all in one handy little box is very convenient.

The 5210 bass guitar combo amplifier employs two of the revolutionary Hartke HyDrive bass speakers, which fuse paper and aluminum cones, delivering the warm tone of traditional paper and the clear, punchy attack of aluminum. This patented Hybrid Cone Technology uses an outside paper cone to push warm, deep low frequencies and an inner aluminum cone that produces mids and highs that cut while still remaining sweet. The 5210 even incorporates a 1-inch titanium compression driver for enhanced high frequency management.
