    Ampeg Rocketbass 112 amp to Microbass VR 200

    Hi all, I have an Ampeg RB 112 (100 watts). Love it. But I can potentially upgrade to a tidy secondhand Microbass VR 200 (head + 2x10 cab). Does anyone have experience with both amps? I'm into Jazz, play a precision with flats. Would the VR 200 be an upgrade or just different. Or do they...

    Ibanez P20 or Ampeg RB108

    Greetings! I need a new small amp due to whining neighbors. I’m looking at 20-30W range. So, I’ve found the Ibanez Promethean P20 (20W @8ohm) and the Ampeg RB-108 (30W @4ohm). I have never played any of these combo’s and I have no chance of doing so either as the closest store that has both...

    Dedicated practice amp that I can't gig with, or a medium sized amp that I can maybe gig with?

    Hi there! I have been pondering about purchasing an amp to be used mostly to jam with acoustic instruments and to practice in the garage. I don't use an amp for live. My current band situation allows me to go from StompXL directly to the speakers. I get great tone and the bass is actually...

    Ampeg Portaflex PF Series vs Ampeg Rocket Bass RB Series Comparison

    I'm curious if anyone's done a side-by-side between current class D Portaflexes and equivalent Rockets? I've seen and read lots of comparisons between Rockets and Fender Rumbles and some comparisons between Ampeg RBs, previous generation BA series combos and older generation picture-frame-front...

    Ampeg Rocket RB112 direct out

    Hey guys! Easy question if anyone has the new Ampeg Rocket combos and has used the direct connection to connect to a pa… is the level of this connection tied to the main volume of the amp like on the Fender Rumble v3? I want to get one of these to replace a head/cab I’m using but the one thing...

    Ampeg B-15 Neo Fliptop (DIY)

    So, I built this thing. What is it? I call it the AggiePeg B-15Neo! Ampuilar B-15 maybe? Well anyway, it’s my take on a lightweight B-15N clone. Disclaimer: I have no real cab design experience and my carpentry is as sloppy as my playing so this whole exercise was purely for fun. But from a...

    NAD It's your fault, Talkbass! (Ampeg content)

    After two years of online "stalking", I finally found the right Ampeg B100R. At any given time there are no more then 5 or 6 of these in the musical classifieds in the whole country, so it took a while to find the sweet spot. According to the previous owner, never gigged and just a few hours of...
