Ampeg BA300/210 Vs. Fender Bassman 250/210

Sign in to disble this ad
I want to pick up a new combo amp and have narrowed it down to these 2. I have played a Ampeg 115HP @220 watts but that is as close as I have been able to come and have not played the Fender yet. The fender has a few things I like about it. I like the option to plug in a mp3 player and headphones for home use, which you cannot do on the BA300 series. I like the fact that the Ampeg has the tube pre amp and just an all around great Ampeg tone. I wont be able to play the Ampeg before I buy but do plan on playing the Fender as it is at a local CG.

Just want to know if anyone has one of these and has any input on it. I have read all the reviews but not being able to A/B them I wont ever really know which one is gong to be best suited for me. Looking for good tone and volume. I am playing a Jazz bass and I typically use a pick although I have been working more and more on my finger style. Not a slap and pop player. Classic rock to 90's rock with a loud drummer. Small to medium gigs in our future or at least I hope.

Any input would be great.

I have played the Bassman 250/210.It sounded really good.
It sounded better than the ampeg With the 15" speaker.
(I cant comment on the Ampeg with the 10s though.)

YMMV and my ears are prolly different than yours.

The Bassman 250 sounds great.
