Ampeg Rocket Bass Combos

[Aloe]

the bigger models (115 and 210) look interesting. judging from the Yamaha sound samples, 115 is fat and full, but may lack some high end (it's a tweeterless 15", so no surprise here), 210 seems sparkly, but scooped. I think, a 115 with a second cab (a 115 but with a tweeter) may be a killer combo.

my local Yamaha dealer has the 115, but not the 210 (scheduled for August). really curious to try one (and to compare to Warwick BC150 frankly. I think, I'd get the one with most volume).

It looks like Ampeg will be releasing their demo videos one at a time. Here's Ampeg's demo of the RB-110.

It looks like the RB-115 is starting to show up in a lot of stores in the US now. ZZounds and Kraft Music both show them in stock as well as a few smaller stores. Has anyone had their hands on one yet?

The 115 is at a local indie shop and I intend to go down tomorrow and audition it.
Don't tell my boss that I'll be working a bit more remotely than usual for a few hours.

Well my wife absconded with the car for the day and it looks like I'll have to wait for the weekend.

SW called, now they're pushed to July. Might just jump off the ship and pick it up next year.

That's a drag. Seems like the 115 is hitting the real-world sales floors first.

I would imagine that has to do with Ampeg is know for good 15 inch combos . Marketing guys know what they are doing .

In Europe, the 112 looks to be the “dominant” one right now.

The 15" combo is available at MF.

Music and Arts has the RB115 in stock.

Any rough estimates on the 210 or 112 coming in stock in the states? GC still has those two on preorder.

SW said the RB12 will ship in July, hopefully

Apparently I'll get my RB-210 in less than a week, but I have a bad feeling it will actually take around another month.

It’s cheaper than the 15 and probably works as well for most things.

 

[Lowbrow]

Went to local indie music shop to audition the RB-115. Tiny amp room, 89 degrees, hovering & chatty staff.
Didn't stay long. I'll say this: It's light.
I'll wait til it comes to GC where they will blissfully neglect me and the AC works.

 

[Soberglitch]

Went into GC today and looked at their ETA for the 210 and 112. It shows the preorders have been told their order should be expected to ship by 6/14/21 but it doesn’t show any of the stores will be getting any until March 2022.

Not sure if that means preorders will be shipped earlier but the stores aren’t predicting they’ll get any from Ampeg anytime soon.
