Bass Amp & Cab Models

Rock Classic

For 30 years now, we’ve heard the tone and felt the power of the mighty Ampeg® SVT® that GearBox’s Rock Classic model is based on*. This workhorse has appeared on innumerable recordings and arena stages worldwide – there is no equal to the original SVT® and its 300 watts of pure tube magic. First introduced in July 1969, the SVT® set the tone, punch and arena-rattling standard for all future big gun bass rigs. Its users have included everyone from The Rolling Stones to Van Halen, and pretty much every “rock” bass player in between. For GearBox’s Rock Classic Model, we selected a 1974 Ampeg® SVT®, and we’ve also given you a 70’s SVT 8x10 speaker cabinet to pair it with. The sonic combination of this head and cab is beyond big, but you had to pray that your bandmates

would help you move it! Thanks to GearBox, you can now get big classic rock bass tone without frequent visits to the chiropractor.

Flip Top

The Flip Top model is based on* a 60’s Ampeg® B-15 Portaflex® — one of the most popular studio bass amps of all time. It’s tuned and front- ported, has a closed back, is 25 watts with a single 15-inch speaker, and set a new standard for cabinet and speaker efficiency, tone and convenience in bass amplification. If we had to sum up the amp’s sound up in one sentence, we would simply say: Listen to James Jamerson’s bass playing on the Motown®/Tamala records of the 1960’s — The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and many more. Jamerson played bass on more Motown hits than anyone else, and his choice for amplification was the Ampeg® B-15. We think you’ll agree that the sound of his P Bass® through that amp on those records is as fresh

and exciting today as it was 35 years ago. And if he’s not enough to convince you, how about “Duck” Dunn! Don’t get us started....
