The Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-112 is a 100-watt, 1x12-inch bass combo amplifier in the Rocket Bass series, featuring Ampeg's Super Grit Technology (SGT) overdrive and an SVT-inspired preamp voicing. The 12-inch driver delivers more headroom and low-frequency presence than the RB-110 while remaining compact and portable. Three-band EQ, SGT drive, a rear XLR DI, and headphone and aux connections make it versatile across rehearsal, small-venue gigging, and home recording. It delivers warm, slightly mid-forward Ampeg character suited for rock, blues, soul, and practice situations where a full stack is impractical.
The Laney Black Country Customs DB East is a signature 1000-watt bass amplifier head developed with bassist Nathan East, part of Laney's Black Country Customs boutique sub-line. It's built to deliver substantial clean headroom and tonal flexibility for professional touring and studio use, reflecting East's specific tonal requirements from decades of session and touring work with artists including Eric Clapton and Fourplay.
