Description

Ampeg produced the BA-115V2-U as a 1x15 bass combo amplifier within its BA series, positioning it as a portable, stage-ready unit offering classic Ampeg tone at 150 watts. It sat in the line as a practical option for players needing a self-contained bass rig with professional-grade features in a single enclosure.

The combo housed a 15-inch speaker rated at 8 ohms and delivered a maximum gain of 60 dB. A notable onboard feature was the Bass Scrambler overdrive circuit, which provided overdrive tones without requiring an external pedal. The cabinet incorporated a 60-degree monitor angle, allowing the unit to be tilted for use as a stage monitor to improve the player's ability to hear their own signal. The enclosure measured 24.8 x 20.0 x 15.0 inches and weighed 45.0 lb, making it manageable for single-person transport. Power requirements were 100–120V AC at 50–60 Hz.

Owners needing service, speaker replacement, or electrical work on this unit should consult a qualified amplifier technician, particularly given the high-voltage components inherent to any tube-adjacent or solid-state bass amplifier design.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
