Beautiful! Not sure I've ever seen that configuration of knobs and switches on an Ibanez bass before. What model is this? Or has it been customized? Thanks.

4 Shore at Birch Terrace in Grand Marais, MN, 7/29. This is the view from the stage looking out over Lake Superior. A few showers earlier in the day, but dry during the gig. This was my first time playing out with the new (to me) SR480 bass I bought from a fellow TB'er. The bass sounded great.

I read somewhere about a band that practiced in the dark so they couldn't look at their instruments while playing. A quick Google search did not come up with the name of the band but there are a number of sites out there suggesting that practicing in the dark helps you play better.

The other day I was perusing the forums (instead of practicing) and I started noticing that a lot of the gig photos were of old guys staring at their left hands. "Look up!" I thought to myself, "Smile for the audience! At least acknowledge them..." Later on, I came across a music calendar bio...

Here's an update if anyone is interested. I decided to try the 500/200 chain. Figured I could sell either one or both used later if they didn't work out. Then I found an on-line reseller that had an open box 200 and they gave me a discount on the 500 for buying two amps at the same time. I will...

Thank you both for your replies. I had just assumed that the master volume control came after the effects send/return so I could set each amp independently. Looking at the block diagram, I see that is not the case.

Ideally, I would prefer a 15 inch speaker for practice and small gigs and 500 watts for larger rooms or outdoor gigs. So, I'm considering a Rumble 200v3 and a Rumble 500v3 with 115 or 210 extension. But how about using the Rumble 200 as the extension? By running the 500 effects out to the 200...
