The little amp will be able to handle small, lower volume gigs and practice sessions, but don’t expect it to compete with a loud drummer or full blast guitars unless it’s miked through a P.A. ![]() Overall, the BA112 is nice and quiet with no real hiss or humming even through headphones. I used to own the BA115 and eventually disconnected the tweeter because it produced an annoying high-pitched hiss without any real benefit in tone. Unlike the bigger BA115 model, this amp doesn’t have a tweeter, and I’m very happy about that. And, as most bassists will be using it as a practice amp, they probably won’t ever get much past 5 on the volume knob. Eventually, with the volume cranked past 8, I noticed some clipping and distortion, but that’s to be expected with an amp of this size. This is in part due to the rear-ported cab, which helps the lows sound fuller and more detailed. The low notes never bottomed out, sounding crisp and full even with the bass turned way up. For a good, solid classic rock tone I had the selector at 4 with all the controls flat. ![]() With the selector turned to 1 and the bass cranked a bit, it’s Dub city. Running my flatwound strung ’62 reissue Fender Precision Bass through it with the style selector at 3, treble and mid at flat and bass slightly boosted, produced a nice early ’60s Motown sound.
