Ampeg Rocket Bass 210 Review - Can it compete with the Fender Rumble?

Couple years ago , looking for a light amp, I played the Rumble 500 in a store. It was very loud, but somehow blur or muddy on many presets or eq. Did not buy it. A week ago
I played an ampeg rb-210, and I fell for it, specially with the SGT and the loudness. Over all: sweet and nasty, just like finding the secret G-Spot. A must have 😝

Rumble 500 for me, everytime!

Is the cost of heroin going up? Who steals a Rumble 😂

How does this compare to a Boss Katana 210 combo?

If a company has a bad rep for QC and reliability getting acquired by Yamaha is the best thing that could ever happen to them. Seriously who else makes guitars, pianos, motorcycles, ATV’s, and outboard boat motors that all last forever?

The effects loop isn't the most useless standard feature on bass amps. It's a dealbreaker if it doesn't have one for me. Maybe I am the one percent.

Botjh ampsare larger than required: A 'Crazy 8' by Greenboy lets mekeep up with a 20 piece big band with 150 watts-at half power. If I wasplaying rock. I do with a Fearful 10 or 12".
You do notneedto get hernias carrying equipment. The crazy 8 weights 12 lbs!

Awesome video! Just discovered your channel whilst finalizing on my main bass amp. I use a jc40 for guitar and was looking for a solid bass amp for live looping with a quiet drummer. I was going to get the rumble 200 but the price is so close to a 500 so I figured why not it maybe more power than I need but that’s a good thing. But now the RB 210 has my eye. Sorry about your stolen 500 that’s rough mate 💔however since you’ve been using it do you miss your rumble 500? Are you team rocket yet lol? Thanks for the great vid! Cheers

I wonder is the boss katana bass 210 able to compete with these 2 🤔

Great review dude! Definitely gonna consider this amp in the future

Just got here. I can’t wait to get all of your side jokes first take. Nice review and amazing demonstration.

The SGT sucks, it just does.

Turn it up!!!

I have this coming to take on the road with me in this January. I’m excited that way it’s light to move but enough power to mix well with the band and push some air!!

I tired to sell a GK combo amp at a local music store last year. The manager wouldn’t buy it from me and proceeded to tell me that Fender and Ampeg make the best bass amps today. I’ll give him Fender, but Ampeg is nothing like they used to be. My B2RE head is 20 years old, beat to hell, and still gets me through 4-hour gigs. Hopefully this rocket amp treats you well!

Hey Amp, a quick question....if I want to use my preamp pedal and by-pass the preamp on my combo, I heard that I can just plug into the fx return and play. Can you validate that please?
ATM I don't have an amp, sold my head(it didn't have an fx loop anyways) and awaiting for my Orange Crush delivery.

San Francisco is the best example of what continuing to go left actually looks like.

I had an Ampeg combo back in the day I was constantly taking it to get fixed. I swore off Ampeg after that. Been using Fender for a long time now and never had an issue.
