"Sheer pleasure!"

Feature:
More the enough for small to medium venues.

Quality:
Built like a nuclear fallout shelter.

Value:
Not in the starter amp area but you get what you pay for. You cannot but a price on quality anyway.

Desirability:
Brilliant in every way.

Sound:
The sound is fantastic; vintage all the way. Tube sound with solid state components is amazing.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play...what's not to like?

Support:
Haven't used them yet; and don't expect to. But I've heard good things from others.

Overall:
I'll keep this forever. If it were stolen I would replace it immediately.

"Worth it!"

Feature:
This does exactly what you want it to do, nothing less, and (not really a bad thing) nothing more. It's got all the familiar options that you would find on any other amp.

Quality:
Overall, the amp is pretty well made. On mine, there's a little wear and tear on the handle and cover, but that's partially because of mishandling. It's the kind of amp I could sit there and beat on repeatedly seeing how many hours it would take to break. As other people said, it's built like a tank.

Value:
You get what you pay for, that's all I really have to say.

Desirability:
When I first got the amp, it wasn't really into the build of it, but it's grown on me over time.

Sound:
It sounds great! I'm a grungy/garage rock type bassist, and it caters to my style. Even at full volume, you won't have to worry about crackling or anything odd.

Ease of Use:
I didn't have any problems trying to use the amp. That's saying something, considering I got it without a manual. As long as you know what you're doing and what does what, you'll get the sound you want.

Support:
I haven't dealt with the company, so I scored it in the middle.

Overall:
I play for a band, and expect (and hope) for it to last for a long time. I really don't see any reason for me to have to buy another amp for a couple years.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
From Our Catalog
Imagine if you could have an amp with a real vintage sound, but without all the weight and awkwardness of some of the older amps. The Ampeg B100R is just that. It gives you all the vintage sound you can handle with a single 15 in. driver, and Blue Diamond covering gives it the vintage look. But with solid-state design the weight is lower.

The Rocket Bass models (B-100R and B-50R) are the contemporary counterparts to the Portaflex. Still the same warm tone and simplistic controls but using solid-state technology for light weight and maintenance-free reliability. The 100-watt B-100R is equipped with a custom-designed vintage 15 in. and the baby brother 50-watt B-50R employs a vintage 12 in. driver.
