Bass Amps
There were more changes in 1991 - in
fact, almost everything was new. The RPB918 Concert Rack System
went away after one year - possibly due to it's rather high
price. The PB200 head was retired after several years'
production, as was the Pro Bass 115. The PB201 Combo and the
PB273 Bass Amp System were discontinued after only one year's
production - but they replaced by new models.

The Pro Bass 515 and 518
Concert Bass Systems (right) were the only models that were unchanged for
1991. The PB515 Concert Stack used the PB500 head, with the
V410T and V115 cabinets. Price on this unit dropped to
$1129. The PB518, which was a V118 (18" speaker, versus the
15" speaker of the PB515) equipped system, also dropped in price,
to $1199.
The Pro Bass 510 (left) and Pro
Bass 315 were both new for 1991, although they were based on some
existing components. The PB510 used the PB500 head, with a
15" V115 cabinet, and the new V210 2X10 cabinet. This unit
sold for $999. The Pro Bass 315 used the new PB300W head,
with one V115 cabinet, and sold for $639. |

With the discontinuation of the PB200 head, the
PB300 head (below) was introduced to give the bassist a smaller powered
amp than the PB500. Features and specs were the same as the PB500,
except for the power rating. As in years past, both units were
rack-mountable. The new PB300 sold for $429, and the PB500 sold for
$579.

The PB201 was replaced with the Pro
Bass 300C combo. This was similar to the PB201, but used the
new PB300 amp, with a 15" speaker in a combo enclosure.
Despite having the new amp chassis with more features, the price was
the same as the PB201, at $599. |

The PB-15 Bass Preamp (below) was also
unchanged, but it did drop in price to $299.
