    That's great. How does the 1x12 sound compared to the 2x10? I went with the 500 combo in part because I like the more direct sound of a 10".

    NBD: G&L LB100 Fullerton Deluxe

    Looks great! My LB-100 sounds great with La Bella flat wounds, but rounds certainly have their place as well. Hmm, maybe two LB-100s so I can have one of each???

    NBD! G&L LB-100

    This LB has a "modern" neck with a 12" radius. For guitars, I prefer a bit of roundness (9.5" is ideal), but that's because I do a lot of chords up near the nut. I assumed I'd want the same on a bass but the 12" works very well.

    NBD! G&L LB-100

    More than my Mustang! I've never weighed any of my instruments and never had a full-size bass so I can't tell if it's light, average or heavy.

    NBD! G&L LB-100

    I primarily play guitar, but I picked up a MIJ Fender Mustang bass a few years ago and I really love playing it. I've always thought about getting a full-scale Fender Precision, but since I've been a G&L fan for 25+ years I pulled the trigger on a near-mint G&L LB-100. First evening with it and...

    Submission Theme from Barney Miller

    This sounds like a P bass vs a J bass to me. Does anyone know what what was actually used?

    What are the original, vintage models? 1.5”?

    That's exactly why I went with the 500 combo. I was torn between that and the 100 (smaller & lighter, even easier to load into & out of a car trunk), but the 200 was barely even a consideration. Of course if you're a big fan of the 15" speaker, that would be a very good reason to go for that...

    The 200 & 500 are the same size physically, which is why I jumped up to the 500. I like the smaller 100 size (I'm used to ltttle guitar combos) but I think I'll grow into the 500.

    It's official for me. Brought my new Rumble 500 combo home and it sounds killer with my Mustang bass. I do have some second thoughts about not getting the 100 combo, since I'm mostly playing at home alone and only occasionally playing with some friends. That being said, it does sound great even...

    Good luck! Glad to hear the seller's cooperating.

    Tough question. Is size an issue in your living room? Is money no object? Even for practice, I like a little power and air movement, so for me I didn't want to go smaller than the 100 combo. Money wasn't a big issue for me, since I sold a 60's blackface Vibro Champ for more than a new 500 combo...

    My first P bass. Help me pick a pick guard color

    I love the redish tort guard on black! 2nd choice is 3-ply B-W-B. Both look great.

    I'm a guitar player who's just picked up a short scale (MIJ Mustang) bass to give it a go. I've been using my Deluxe Reverb for practice at home due to lack of a bass amp; it sounds better than I hoped at low volumes, on the 5th fret or higher. It sounds as bad as I expected on low notes, so I...

    The greatest bass line I've ever heard! And I found it via an anime...a song called "Roundabout"

    I'm just glad they didn't name the song "Traffic Circle."
