Ampeg Rocket Bass Series

The Ampeg Rocket Bass amplifiers are designed for bass players looking for a compact, powerful and characterful sound with that unmistakable Ampeg feel. The series is aimed at both beginners and advanced players who want a warm, classic bass tone, but in a modern, portable design. Thanks to the combination of vintage styling and surprisingly big performance, the Rocket Bass line feels equally at home in the practice room, on stage, or in the studio.

Ampeg Rocket Bass – versatile bass amplifiers for every bassist

With the Ampeg Rocket Bass, you bring home an amplifier series built on Ampeg’s heritage: rich in tone, easy to operate and surprisingly versatile. The different models in the series — including the popular RB 110 — offer a mix of warm bass response, punch and detail. The characteristic Ampeg sound comes from a combination of a solid amplifier section, clever tone shaping and a speaker that is precisely tuned for low‑end definition and musical clarity.

While many compact amplifiers are mainly suited for practice, the Rocket Bass line goes a step further: the power is more than sufficient for rehearsals, small (acoustic) performances and direct recording situations. Thanks to the XLR output, you can easily connect the amplifier to a PA system or audio interface, making the series appealing to both live players and home‑studio musicians.

Sounds bigger than its size

The Rocket Bass series is known for its remarkably mature sound. Even the more modest models deliver a deep, full bass response without becoming muddy. The tone controls offer plenty of possibilities — from old‑school warm and round to more modern, tighter low end. This allows every bassist to find their own sound easily, without complicated controls. This makes the series popular among players who simply want to play rather than tweak endlessly.

Applications

• Practicing at home with high‑quality sound and low noise

The Models

Rocket Bass RB 108

The RB 108 is the most compact model in the series and ideal for beginners or bassists looking for a reliable practice amplifier. With its lightweight design and simple operation, it’s a perfect at‑home amplifier. Despite its size, it delivers a surprisingly full Ampeg sound, making practicing inspiring.

Rocket Bass RB 110

The RB 110 offers more power than the RB 108, making it suitable for both home use and small rehearsals. With its 50 watts and versatile tone controls, this model already feels truly “band‑ready.” Thanks to the XLR output, you can connect it directly to a PA system or audio interface, giving it a wide range of applications.

Rocket Bass RB 112

The RB 112 is the middle ground of the series: more powerful than the RB 110 yet still compact enough to transport easily. This model is perfect for rehearsals, practice sessions and small performances. The 12‑inch speaker provides extra depth and projection, while the tone controls offer enough room for both vintage and modern bass tones.

Rocket Bass RB 115

The RB 115 is the workhorse for bassists who need serious stage volume. With its 15‑inch speaker, you get a big, warm and very full low end. This model is ideal for full‑band rehearsals and live use. The tone is broad, round and powerful — a true Ampeg experience for players who want more headroom and body.

Rocket Bass RB 210

The RB 210 is the most powerful combo model in the series. The dual 10‑inch speakers provide a tight, punchy response with plenty of definition, perfect for modern players or bassists who value clarity in the low end. This model suits virtually any situation: rehearsal, studio or medium‑sized stages. It combines strong power with excellent tone control.
