Description
Not every gig needs a stack. The Rocket Bass RB-112 packs Ampeg’s classic bark into a 12″ combo you can actually carry in one trip from the van. At 25.9 lb., it’s light enough to not think twice about, but the 100-watt solid-state amp and 12″ Custom Eminence speaker still push out the kind of low-end weight your basslines deserve. A rear-ported cabinet extends the bass response further than you’d expect from something this size.
- 100 watts solid-state power
- 12″ Custom Eminence speaker
- Ampeg Legacy preamp
- Super Grit Technology (SGT) overdrive
- 3-band EQ
- Top-mounted controls
- Auxiliary input and headphone output
- XLR direct output
- 25.9 lb. (11.75 kg)
The 3-band EQ lets you dial in your bass, mids, and treble without hunting for a sweet spot, and because the controls sit up top, you’re not crouching down mid-set to fix your tone. The Super Grit overdrive is the real character switch here — keep it subtle for warm, rounded overtones or push the gain for grittier distortion when a song calls for edge.
Practical touches make this a legit gigging tool, not just a bedroom amp: the XLR direct out sends your signal straight to the board, the aux input lets you plug in and play along to tracks, and the headphone jack means late-night practice doesn’t have to be a household negotiation.
Ampeg’s been shaping bass tone since the Portaflex hit the scene in 1960, and that lineage shows here. If you want a combo that’s small enough to haul solo but still sounds like Ampeg, the RB-112 earns its spot on your gig list.
