New Affordable Ampeg Rocket Bass Combos & Limited Edition Micro Stacks

[@ClauGutierrezY]

That kicking off jam was just AWESOME!

[@timothymckane6362]

These dudes are blasting off of this world with great bass content!

[@TheTeddydog1]

Have had an Ampeg B-108 for years. Small enough for my apartment, yet large enough for acoustic gigs. Headphone out, aux in, it's all I really need. Has angled back to act as a floor monitor. Well happy.

[@vendome6846]

Not bad. Would prefer to hear these with old school passive P and Jazz basses.

[@klaymeister]

Well the Sire V5 is passive, so there's that

[@adrianadrian255]

Yeah. I’m clueless about the 500w. How do you judge the “classic” tone when it’s being played through with such a daft bass - especially at the wrong end of the neck.

[@honeyyeti5292]

I think that head and cabinet would make a fantastic present for my wife…😉😉

I'll buy for you if buy off my wife

[@adrianfoote8281]

And those jams just make me want a Warwick more than I already did!

[@neilmarwood63]

Looking nice and shiny guys. The bass licks at the beginning, I was like 'dayum girl'!

[@paulsummerside]

There are indeed some classic tones in there in these amps. With that Warwick bass, could imagine doing some Beatles type tracks. The fuzz channel is a great extra. Lovin’ the Micro VR too.

[@styks4725]

i love your guys' intros so much

[@jarthursands]

Class D Amps with Neo drivers are the way of the future for bassists... No more hernias, no more blown out backs.

[@antonioj.a3487]

Just FYI: RB combos has no neo drivers

[@jarthursands]

@@antonioj.a3487 it was a general statement regarding the industry move as a whole not just AMPEG, Yer 10 ply Bud...

[@johnviolette5511]

the side amps sounded awesome. but when you did the demo on the middle one there was a bit too much fiddling with the eq and and the player was changing playing styles a bit too quickly to get a good idea of what it can do. The jam at the end using the red amp was a lot better. It's got the goods. Great job guys.

[@ChrisLau90]

absolutely FILTHY jams from these two lads!

[@peterlaurence-couzens8913]

Really like the sound of the Warwick bass. Nice :-)

[@jaypoirier4216]

Could listen to these Cats play all day

[@stereoroid]

Ampeg is now owned by Yamaha, so dealer / service support should be good.

[@8ballwil]

That's true but their products are manufactured in communist China. Don't buy made in China!

[@petecooked7125]

Keep making bass vids. Ill keep watching

[@Erik1970Viking]

Great Overview. Just noticed, at 14:59, when turning up the Bass a bit, i do not hear any effect ... seems to lack a bit of deep fundamental bass ... just my opinion

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

The new combo’s I like them better than the vr stack. Question. Can the second channel be controlled with a foot switch?

[@lewiswilliams1584]

I live the sound of the 112. Would it be loud enough to play with a rock drummer?

[@ni485]

I haven't played this particular amp, but I would say no. Not on its own. I've had two different modern 100watt 12" combos, a fender rumble and an acoustic b100c, and neither was quite enough with rock drummer and guitarist. 200 watts would get pretty close, maybe even plenty depending on how loud band is, and how much low end you want in your tone. But keep in mind these, as well as most other combos, don't give you the full watts without an external speaker added. Example: this rb15 is 200 watts. But that's at 4 ohms with another speaker hooked up. On its own, it's 8 ohms, and it's probably closer to 130 or so. The 500 watt 210 by itself is probably 300-350 watts.

[@lewiswilliams1584]

@@ni485 I'd probably just get the 210 instead

[@martinjones9993]

Need 300watts for playing With a crazy drummer...😅

[@William_Earl]

Thanks for the quality content, as always!

[@LasseHuhtala]

Very nice indeed.

[@kingstumble]

I blew a speaker once. It sounded just like that super grit setting.

[@christianboddum8783]

I guess there's some Danish Petery going on on the rhythm track ;-) or am I wrong?

[@BlueJon1975]

Which bases are you playing?

[@petestaint8312]

[@johncollins5552]

What a great sounding bass Lee is playing, what is it exactly?

[@martinjones9993]

Warwick

[@mattgilbert7347]

Sweet!

[@adrianfoote8281]

How does the rocket bass 210 compare the the ba210v2? which I'm guessing is no longer on the market?

[@johncollins5552]

The ba series weigh 2 or 3 times as much as the new range. Some people think the extra weight helps give a heavier sound and there is something to be said for that extra mass but you have to consider will you just leave it in one place e.g. a studio or rehearsal space or of you will be moving it constantly up and down stairs to gigs etc.

[@bukwok]

yamaha speaker in background , im remember my father got same one back then i was kid , maybe not same, just similar one, but looks so clean , like a brand new, is reissue or what..?

[@armata6530]

I demo’d the 112 at my local guitar store today, really liked it. They didn’t have the 115 or 210. Really trying to do some research to find which one I want to go with. Can anyone help me out?

[@doctordeu1105]

[@MarcosBartDiniz]

Anyone knows the model Warwick bass he’s playing? ❤

[@billyellow4849]

Are you sure your DI is not pre-EQ? I can't hear any difference in the direct out sound whilst Nathan is twiddling. (Edit - Ampeg say it's post, so must be my ears.)

[@meisenman]

DI is post-EQ and post effects loop per the circuit block diagram in the User Manual, which covers all RB models in the range.

If you’re talking about the RB combos, then if my RB-112 has a fan, I’ve never heard it. The user manual says nothing about a fan.

[@prestachuck2867]

You must be referring to the Micro VR head. The RB combos are silent.

Great players but i wish they would have someone bring the thunder in these bass reviews. Always soft carrot jams

[@bluesdawg8014]

Not as good as Victor Wooten. I play bass and guitar but I dislike lead bass. Instruments have a place in music. I'm a roots player on bass, less is more. Just my thoughts. Guitarists want to play faster and faster and bass player want to play lead. Modern music is interesting to say the least. The Ampeg amp sounds great. I've been using the Ampeg BA 210V. Works excellent for most gigs. Los Angeles
