Ampeg · amplifier
The Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-210 is the flagship of the Rocket Bass series, a 2x10-inch bass combo delivering 250 watts standalone and 500 watts with an extension cabinet. It features Ampeg's Super Grit Technology (SGT) overdrive, a tweeter for extended high-frequency definition, three-band EQ, a front-mounted DI, and a speaker output for a cabinet extension. Its warm, articulate, slightly-scooped Ampeg character and high wattage make it the most stage-capable of the Rocket Bass combos, suited to players who want authentic Ampeg tone in a giggable self-contained format.
