Anyone have experience with an Ampeg B-1RE?

There's a half off the MSRP of Ampeg gear (not much of it) at a guitar store by my house and this guy will be $298. I'm thinking about making the purchase. Anyone with any experience with this? I know Ampeg makes quality merchandise, but this is one of their lower end items.

Thanks!

It's a good buy. Solid state is fine. You don't need tubes, especially for bass. You can always get a tube pre-amp later if you want a tube-ish sound. Personally, I prefer a clean ss amp to stay flexible. I'd buy it at that price.

Solid state for bass.
