Cat Burrito Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Who's tried one? Who owns one? Are they good for small to medium gigs? Quote
Ray Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I did a gig in Spain a few years ago and the house amp was a 100w BA115. Good points: - Nice creamy tone with my Jazz bass. Solid state but still quite warm. Never tried an SVT so can't compare. - Still sounded great when turned all the way up. No distortion. - Looks awesome. Bad points: - Very noisy DI. Unuseable in fact. The sound guy had to mic it. - A bit on the quiet side, I had to turn it up to maximum volume. - Heavy. On the whole I really liked it. I think it would be ok for small pub gigs etc. but for anything bigger I would want more power. Hope this helps! Quote

tombboy Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Had one for rehearsals a few years ago. Wouldn't gig with it mind... just not enough power. No complaints about the tone though. Quote
