Ampeg B100R Rocket Bass Combo Amplifier (100 Watts, 1x15 in.)

Ampeg B100R Rocket Bass Combo Amplifier (100 Watts, 1x15 in.)

Imagine if you could have an amp with a real vintage sound, but without all the weight and awkwardness of some of the older amps. The Ampeg B100R is just that. It gives you all the vintage sound you can handle with a single 15 in. driver, and Blue Diamond covering gives it the vintage look. But with solid-state design the weight is lower.


Feature:
The only features are three presets and line out. No extra fluff. No XLR out... just four tone controls with gain and master volume.

Quality:
Thing is built like a tank...I invested in a Tuki cover for it and after 2 years it still looks new. Did have clumsy roady drop it off stage and bent caster but that was not amps fault...that is total breakage for over two years worth of almost nightly use (15-20 shows a month average)

Value:
It is a little pricey for a 100 watt amp but you get what you pay for.

Desirability:
Amp is sexy..period....everyone who sees it falls in love with the little sucker

Sound:
Sound much like early B15's Easy to vary tone from one style of music to another. If you need more power go to a stack. Amp is made for small to medium club scene.

Ease of Use:
Amp is so easy to use it is rediculous...If you know what you want to hear. Presets are good easy to vary tone to suit situation.

Support:
Have not needed support...so far

Overall:
I am very satisfied with this amp and would probably replace it with another just like it..Heard SLM sold out to LOUD music....some concern over quality from new company. I have David Eden CXC 210 and have sold all other bass amps.
