Ampeg ba115hp

[Worshipbass12]

Hey guys just bought an ampeg ba115hp this week at rehearsal this morning it started making an aweful buzz only when playing an A
Thinking of returning it and going with a portaflex 210 and ampeg b2re head
Any suggestions?
Btw I play mostly Christian rock with 2 guitars and a drummer on Roland b-pro electric kit

If you return it, get the PF500 or 350 instead of the B2RE. B2RE was designed for people who don't really like the typical Ampeg tones. It's an OK amp but that's about it as far as I'm concerned.

However, the problem with your BA115 is likely some of the interior padding coming loose and/or needing more of it. I fixed my BA110 that had a similar rattle by stapling the loose sections of padding back on, then adding a sheet of 1" thick Nu-Foam to the area that wasn't padded.

Thanks I just bought it so I don't feel like I should need to work on it already but my local guitar center doesn't have the portaflex heads just the cab, they do have a gk 700rbll used for 350 trying to stay at $650 max for a useable rig I do get pa support but once in awhile I don't any suggestions on a rig in that price range?

Order a PF500 or 350 and wait for it?

Wish I could but I need it in two days

Cool but I just heard that MF has restocked PF500's as their Stupid deal of the day today only for the same price:

Still, even if you don't change to the PF500, the PF350 is a great little head that's been a tank for me for a year and a half now.

Got it brand new for $250 at gc thought that was a pretty sweet price
