Opinions on Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-115

I have a chance to buy a used RB-115. It will be used for a back up amp mainly. The reviews I've read seem pretty good.
Are these amps reliable? Any experience with these amps is welcome. thanks.

I own 2 RB112, my compliant are SGT grit pot will become scratchy after 8 months using , even tough i been cliam 2 new preamp board. My second bought RB112 on Oct 2024, already shown the scratchy issue , but not as serious as the first RB112. Meanwhile, the Ultra Lo swtch also produce noice when press in or out. Both new and old RB112 has same issue once the combo age about 6 months....

But..... i love this RB112 sound pretty much.
 
It's a good amp if it doesn't get bounced around. I had one and the sound would just stop.
One of the MOLEX type headers was not securing in its socket. It wouldn't stay either. Ended up selling.
Seems like they spared every expense in making this amp inexpensive.
