On one gig my Ampeg BA-115 crapped out, i had my direct box with me, so i was able to soldier on plugged into the P.A. system. We had a string of gigs coming up and i needed something quick and cheap to hold me over until i could tear into the Ampeg to see what happened to it, . “Musician's Friend”, a.k.a. “Guitar Center” had a special on Behringer bass amps. For $199.00 and free shipping before the next gig, i got the 180 watt combo with a 12 inch speaker. That rig performed without a hitch, and i still carry it around to all my gigs as a back up amp…one never knows…do one.
