The Rocket Bass RB-112 draws inspiration from Ampeg combos of the 1960s, adopting their vintage aesthetic and effective simplicity. Within the Rocket Bass family, it holds a central position: more robust and full-bodied than a small practice combo, yet easier to transport than larger stage models. It aims for the perfect balance between power, portability, and Ampeg character.
Ideal for intermediate to advanced bassists, the RB-112 easily covers rehearsals, small to medium gigs, and home recording. Rock, pop, funk, soul, indie, or hip-hop: its versatile range features solid lows and a clear attack that sits well in the mix, whether played fingerstyle or with a pick.
The RB-112 is a single-channel combo focused on efficiency. Its Ampeg Legacy preamp offers a 3-band EQ, supported by Ultra Hi/Ultra Lo switches to shape the spectrum extremes. The activatable Super Grit Technology overdrive circuit adds the brand's signature "growl" through the Grit and Level controls. For practicality, the auxiliary input allows playing along with backing tracks, the headphone output enables silent practice, and the XLR direct output facilitates connection to a PA or interface without an additional DI box. Top-mounted controls and a lightweight design simplify life on stage and on the move.
Featuring transistor circuitry, the RB-112 delivers a spacious clean tone with good headroom for precise and dynamic lines. The Ultra Lo enhances deep lows without muddiness, while the Ultra Hi adds brightness and presence. Pushing the SGT overdrive yields a tight, warm saturation, perfect for thickening the low mids and delivering a modern, punchy, and musical Ampeg sound without excessive compression.
