Ampeg | Rocket Bass Series Overview

Description

The Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-112 100W bass combo amp delivers the renowned punch and growl that Ampeg is known for, encased in a vintage-styled cabinet that looks as good as it sounds. Ampeg's Legacy preamp and 3-band EQ provide flexible tone-shaping, while their Super Grit Technology overdrive adds warmth and grit. The ported 12" Lavoce speaker is specially voiced to reproduce the full range of bass frequencies with clarity and depth.

Vintage Looks, Modern Performance

The Rocket Bass RB-112 combo amp brings '60s-era style to the stage with its black diamond wrap and signature sparkle grille cloth. Under the hood, it's packed with modern features for dialing in your ideal bass tone. Ampeg's Legacy preamp works in concert with the 3-band EQ to sculpt your core tone, while the Ultra Hi and Ultra Lo switches add extra high- and low-frequency boosts. The SGT overdrive circuit can be switched on to saturate your tone with smooth, harmonically rich distortion.

Portability and Connectivity

The Rocket Bass RB-112 is easy to transport from gig to gig. It offers a pair of 0dB and –15dB inputs to handle active or passive basses, an auxiliary input for playing along with tracks and a headphone out for silent practice. The XLR direct out provides a balanced signal path to connect with PA systems and recording interfaces.

Classic Tone, Modern Features

Whether you play a vintage P Bass or the latest 5-string, the Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-112 has the power and tonal control to make your instrument sing. The specially designed 12" Lavoce speaker, paired with 100 watts of power, delivers a full range of bass frequencies with clarity and punch. On stage or in the studio, the Rocket Bass RB-112 offers classic Ampeg tone and modern connectivity in a portable combo amp that looks as good as it sounds.

    Will this handle a low B 5 string bass guitar nicely or should I go for the 1-15 or 2-10 Rocket Bass Amps?
