Wondering if anyone has any experience with both of these amps. I currently have the Bassman 250-115 which in my opinion can get pretty close to the old Ampeg B15 sound for a solid state amp, but as I get older am thinking about getting something not so heavy. Would I be disappointed with the Bassman 150? We go through a PA for most gigs but not all. Would the 150 handle smaller gigs? How noticable is the low end difference?

Thanks for the response fjbass. I tend to agree with you and don't think I would be happy with anything less than the 15.

Hey Guys,

I'm 54 and been playing a long time, I just gave in and purchased the 150. I've had no problem, it's small enough to carry at 39 lbs. I useually go direct into the PA and it sounds sweet. The few times we played out side and I had to crank her with out the PA she ran like a champ.

If you can take the weight, the 250 is the way to go, but the older we get the 150 is a great alternative.

Our bands MySpace and Web Site description is "5 old guys".

Probably the weight is getting to be the main issue. I love the 15 but at 61 that sucker is getting heavy.
