This is a killer sounding amp for electric bass, but lately I'm playing an upright bass on 95% of my gigs and will use a small SWR combo I just purchased.
I bought this about one year ago. This model (which is no longer made and getting a little tougher to find) has a tube preamp. Below is a link to Ampeg's site, specs and a description.

If your sound revolves around the sweet, warm tone of tubes, and you’re looking for a supremely portable combo rig, then meet the BA115T. Building on the solid-state functionality of the BA115, we added a 12AU7 tube to bring legendary Ampeg tone to the BA115T. And at only 62 pounds, the BA115T is a breeze to take from the basement to the gig.
Control over tone is what it’s all about. With five midrange presets to choose from, and the tone-sculpting capabilities of an onboard 3-band EQ, the Style Control puts gobs of tone at your fingertips. Choose scooped mids for slap and pop, or add a 5dB boost at 2kHz to make your solo soar above the fray. Whatever sound you’re looking for, the Style Control can bring it.
The tilt-back, monitor-style design of the BA115T means you can put the sound where you want it, which can be a real plus when you’re hard pressed for stage space. Tube-driven, multi-faceted tone and portability, that’s the Ampeg BA115T.
