affordable Ampeg Bass Amps

BA210 v2 is pretty cool for $500.

Among the best combo amps I've ever played, period. Truly exceptional, and I've played many combos from Fender to Schertler. For my money there isn't an amp that touches the BA210 for under $1000.
 

Those are sick too, someday I'll get the 50t, the pre and post transformer DI out is such a great idea. Ampeg has really hit a few home runs in the last couple years. For now I'm good with my Firefly DI on pretty much anything with a 1/4" output, but if I ever clear out some space in the studio I'd definitely move on one of the tube portaflexes.

Yes, I tried out a pf50T a few months ago and I was duly impressed with the sound, features, and even the style.
