collapse expand iconDescription

The Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-210 bass combo amplifier provides 500 watts of pure Ampeg power and tone in a lightweight, gig-ready unit. This innovative amp combines a vintage-inspired design with modern performance features bassists demand. The RB-210's black diamond Tolex covering and signature sparkle grille cloth harken back to Ampeg's iconic 1960s Rocket Series amps, while its robust feature set, including a specially voiced 10" Eminence driver in each of two ports and a high-frequency horn, delivers clarity and punch perfect for any bass. Thanks to its ultracompact and portable size, the Rocket Bass is ideal for bassists on the move.

Shape Your Sound With Classic Ampeg EQ

Like all Ampeg bass amps, the RB-210 provides simple but effective 3-band EQ and Ultra Hi/Ultra Lo tone switches to sculpt your ideal bass tone. From thick, thumpy lows to biting highs, you'll have no trouble achieving the legendary Ampeg sound that has defined the bass world for decades. The EQ gives you complete control to boost or cut lows, mids and highs as needed for your instrument and musical style.

Add Grit and Growl With Super Grit Technology

When you want to infuse your tone with a dose of distortion, the Rocket Bass's switchable Super Grit Technology overdrive circuit delivers. Use the independent Grit and Level controls to dial in a smooth overdrive perfect for rock rhythms or a gnarly, saturated sound ideal for leads. Super Grit Technology provides warm, tube-like overdrive while maintaining tight, robust low end.

Practice and Play Anywhere

Despite its power and performance, the RB-210 is designed with the gigging bassist in mind. It features an 1/8" headphone output for silent practicing in small spaces, as well as an 1/8" AUX input to jam along with tracks. Its ultra-compact size and durable construction mean you can take the Rocket Bass anywhere without worry. When it's time to perform, the XLR direct output provides a professional signal straight to the PA or recording equipment.

Vintage Style Meets Modern Versatility

While the Rocket Bass RB-210 may look like it came straight out of the '60s, it offers contemporary features for today's bassists. An effects loop allows you to integrate your favorite pedals, and a speaker extension jack lets you connect an additional cabinet when more power and spread is needed. With stunning retro looks, professional-grade components and a robust feature set, the Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-210 bass combo amp is built to handle any gig.
