Nice job Erik! Thanks for showing us all the tone variations that the RB108 is capable of reproducing. This is the best amp review I have ever seen and heard. The camera work and audio recording is perfect. I'm gonna buy one for my practice sessions. Thanks
I bought this for my Epiphone (Gibson) SG Bass and they are a match, sound good together. I put the volume halfway up and the neighbor complained her windows were rattling!
This is so irritating, yet so detailed AND great. Okay, contradiction there, but it is an amazing detailed sound check for a new amp. I'm NOT a grit fan, but this amp is nice for practice without sacrificng your quality or style. Thanks Sifu Erik.
As of July/2021 The BA (tilt back front panel) series is still in the online catalog from Ampeg. I'll be getting the RB108 in three days, and will be buying a RB115 this coming November. With my ext cab, I'll be doing serious damage!
15 seconds in and I liked the video. Always good work Erik! Planning to swap out my Darkglass Microtubes 500 V2 rig for either the RB-115 or 210. That SGT is niiice.
@@erikarko Looking forward to it! I was deciding between the 112 and the 115 but I’m not a fan of the high midrange zing of a 12” speaker. My Jazz Bass is going to sound too trebly, lol
Nice review ... young man. So you got me to subscribe...ERIC. I like that full scale and cord repeated... tells MUCH more than these self indulgent folk that noodle endlessly trying to impress you with their ridiculous "CHOPS ". THANKS for using your grey matter... And thinking thru the purpose of a tonal review. Apples to apples. If we could just get the other review channels to take a lesson from your example. CHEERS !
@@BurtonBoyz715 Thank You, once again - glad that you "noticed" this method :) I want to present the amp/pedal/whatever piece of gear that I'm demoing in the most "honest" way possible, and I'm really glad that you took your time to comment on this! :)
Very thorough and useful review. I have an Ampeg BA 115 and a Fender Rumble 40 and am recommending some bass amps to a friend. I prefer 10 inch or larger, but I could recommend this one.
Thank you for this video. I get my 108 on thursday. I need some Amp that I can play at very low volume with a dirty sound, not to harsh like many distortion and vintage pedals. SGT sounds awesome for me. I have also the Scrampler Pedal. You have also nice tones with extreme settings. I could play with less bass and much more bass and highs and it sounds great (in the videos). My highsensible ears have trouble with loud band music. But I decided to get a new Amp. A Ashdown ABM 600 Evo IV will replace my Mesa Subway D800+.
Just tested. I can only play on 8 clock volume. The mids and the GRIT drive is awesome. Not to much. Hard fingerpicking sounds nice. Tappings sounds enough, sweepings are fine.
for a kala u bass ebony fretless and study at home would better this ine or orange? kala u bass should be plugged in 0 db in line or in the other one? Thank you
I got this and a yamaha trbx304 and it's really quiet with my headphones plugged in... i have the amp and bass guitar volume knobs at max and its very quiet.. if i raise the bass knob on the bass guitar it gets really muddy.. you know why it's so quiet? I'm using some $15 walmart earbuds
