NAD! Ampeg BA-108

Good choice. I've had both the 108 and the 110 and I'd recommend returning the 8 and getting the 10. It's definitely a fine bedroom amp but with the 10 you can actually jam with people. You could maybe play the eight quietly with a guitar player but it's not designed for much more than that. I played the 40 watt 10 with a drummer and a guitarist the other day at reasonable volumes and it held up.

This way you can have both a bedroom amp and a grab-and-go amp that can actually jam with a band.

The only other thing you might want or need later is a big boy rig and this way you won't need to get another in-between amp just to jam with friends, or impromptu get-togethers.

Unrelated. I love your profile pic. Great film.

The 12 has a di and standard EQ. The 12 is, by far, the best little combo they make.

haha that would be funny. I went to BCT at Ft Knox. We did our PT test around those barracks they stay in.

Super cool, it must be great to see that in the film where you went.

"A platoon without a sergeant is like a foot without a big toe" haha, you're making me want to watch it again even though I've seen it up about 50 times. John Candy mud wrestling is the greatest scene in the history of film.

I was shocked at how full precise and clear these things are. Older small amps I’ve had are just huge compromises between size and weight on the one hand snd tone on the other. No problem with that here. Congrats and have fun with it.

I was pleasantly surprised when I bought an Ampeg BA 108 combo just before xmas- had to get another home practice amp fast as the Ibanez I had died. Wow, the smallest Ampeg sounds actually very good! I get the impression the amp has been EQ'd to mimic classic Ampeg tone - it has the lows and punch, it just can't get loud. Which I don't need anyway, I have other bass rigs for that.
