Open Box Ampeg PF-350 Portaflex 350W Bass Amp Head Level 1

Home studio

I bought this amp bundled with a PF-115 cab and am pleased with my purchase. I wanted a home practice amp with a little more get-up-and-go and this is giving me what I wanted. Aux in and headphone out were a must for me, and there aren't too many heads that provide that. Now I can jam with this at home and get solid and dependable Ampeg tone. Easy to use, no-frills controls, but I have the EQ flat most of the time, with maybe a slight nudge depending upon the bass I'm using. If it supported the aux in going through the cab, I would have given it 5 stars.

I recently bought the PF-350 amp (my second Ampeg head is the PF-500 at my church) primarily for practice. I'm no longer a fan of bass combo amps. My bedroom setup is a simple Ampeg 15-inch cab and the head, but wow! This is the perfect practice bass rig for home. I have yet to use it for small (intimate coffehouse) gigs, but I'm confident it will be fine. I am really liking the simplicity of the controls, the convenient portability, and the deep and tight thumpy tones I can get at either at very low or higher volume--I use a high quality Ampeg PN-115HLF cab, which sounds amazing even at very low volumes. The basses I play are Sterling Sub4, Ibanez BTB, Schecter Stiletto, and Hagstrom Super Swede axes that all sound wonderful through this thing.

I play a deluxe P bass with an amplified acoustic blues and oldies band. We play small places, halls, outdoor parties, busking, indoor parties, and also loud gigs like garage jams, street parties and stages. I lug a heavy 200w 15" combo for loud gigs and carry a smaller Ampeg 20w 8" combo for small rooms. I wanted to have one light weight rig that does it all. I found a lightweight 12" 400w bass cab and added the Ampeg PF350 amplifier head. I've played 3 gigs in the few days I've had it, two low volume and one high. Wow, this sucker is amazing. Easily handled anything I threw at it. I'm able to quickly dial in the room. The amp pushes the 12" with amazing deep authority and it's loud. Even more cool, at low volume it can shake the walls. I like the light weight and band loves the thick tones. Very happy

I've owned this amp for some time now and always kept it with me for a backup in case my main amp failed or tubes got hot and weak. But this week I bought the PF-112HLF enclosure to carry to small acoustic gigs and pop-up jam sessions. Man was I surprised how full, warm, loud and portable this rig is. Built like a tank, and with the accessory carry bag, I am not afraid to take this anywhere with me for any kind of small to Medium Large room. My drummer ( whom I've played with for 40+ years) loves the fat tones this combo has. If not for anything else, buy one for a dependable, sturdy, tone machine to carry with you at all times, just like you would a tuner or cable. Best bang for you buck for sure and especially if you can find a used one under $200
