The veteran amp-builders Ampeg have announced a “powerful yet lightweight” Rocket Bass series of amps, comprising five RB models in 1x8, 1x10, 1x12, 1x15, and 2x10 speaker configurations. They cost from $209 to $909. Each amp boasts a three-band EQ, Ampeg’s Super Grit Technology (SGT) overdrive, XLR line outs (except the RB-108), aux inputs, and headphone outs. “We wanted to design the ultimate bass combos, sacrificing nothing in terms of tone or aesthetics. Rocket Bass is designed for the practical player who doesn’t want to give up stage-ready looks, roadworthy construction, and killer tone, just because they prefer the practicality of a combo amp,” says Dino Monoxelos, Ampeg’s Brand Marketing Manager.
