the Official Ampeg Club Part 5

I'd hit it for $100. But the new one is a lot better IMHO.

Yeah. I looked around and can get a new V2 for about USD$225 so not that convinced on the secondhand V1 now, unless it was some kind of amazing.

The kicker is, my misguided search of secondhand also turned up this BA-115 for about USD$340...

I have been watching the BA-210V2 and a Rumble 500 at a local music store. The BA-210 had developed a noticeable buzz in the removable grill. Took the grill off and gone, replaced it and still gone. I came back a month later and the Rumble 500 now has one of about the same level. I couldn't see any way to cure the buzz in the Rumble.

There are some grill attachment pads that are clusters many little balls on the ends of little rods, they seem to hold their tension and withstand more on/off cycles than Velcro. I'll get a photo of such grill holder pads later, it's 4:30am.

These amps encounter intense abuse, probably because customers feel no parental sort of protection towards these demo amps. Cranking everything on them and whacking hard on that E or B string.
