Bass Amp/Cab Models 
Rock Classic 
For 30 years now, we’ve heard the tone and felt the power of t
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
