From the manufacturer

Rocket Bass

Ampeg amplifiers have made essential contributions to many of the most iconic bass recordings and performances in history—and it is the breadth of that impact that makes Ampeg unique. Take a look at any big stage, and you’ll probably see an Ampeg SVT bass amp anchoring the bottom end. Similarly, talk to a top recording engineer about their bass tone secrets, and they’re bound to mention the Ampeg B-15 Portaflex, the legendary all-tube combo amp.

The Rocket Bass family of five combo amplifiers extends that singular legacy, bringing Portaflex styling, sound, and sonic versatility to the modern era. Rocket Bass combos feature a newly designed switchable Super Grit Technology overdrive circuit for warm and gutsy growl, as well as the same classic 3-band EQ with signature Ultra Hi/Ultra Lo switches that Ampeg aficionados know is critical to sculpting the perfect sound.
