It's cool to see a couple other Fender bass combos posted. My Rumble 100 1x15 is nothing special and wont blow you away sound and power wise, but it really gets the job done and is more than adequate. For it's price point, it is a great amp and can be used for small live gigs. I've tested out an...

Hey just wanted to post my little practice rig setup and see what others are using as a bedroom/basement practice rig. Mine is a Fender Rumble 100 15" combo, Behringer Xenyx 1002B Mixer and a laptop to run drum loops to the input of the amp. The mixer doesn't really get used unless I wanna play...

In your situation I would highly recommend surfing craigslist for some used PA gear. You can find some cheap PA speakers and a power amp for a couple hundred bucks. Do you plan on playing live gigs or just recording songs? That will help determine how much you spend on the PA. If you plan to...

It's a small venue...maybe 100 people. I just want to add some bass cuz the girls tend to like to get up and dance and I want to add a little more low end to influence more hot girl dancing lol! (never a bad thing to encourage hot girls to dance) Anyway, this bar caters to 30s and 40s chicks and...

I was asked to DJ a small venue and I have access to a full PA with nice JBL 15" mains and a powered mixer, but I was playing around with it today and it really lacks bass. The JBLs just don't put out enough low end by themselves even when I add more bass via EQ. I have a Fender Rumble 100 bass...

Also, I would surf craigslist for a good gently used amp. I've seen the Ampeg 1x15s go pretty cheap in good condition. Another option if you want to go new but are on a budget is: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/kustom-kxb100-100w-1x15-bass-combo-amp. In my opinion a 100 watt...

The Max 112 would work fine for a practice amp, but would only work for very small live gigs, like mentioned earlier. +1 on the GK MB115. Also look at the Ampeg BA115. Part of your decision will depend on the type of gigs you will eventually play. If they have a full PA, you can just plug in...

Thanks to all that replied. This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I think I will work with it as a style to use rather than my only technique.

I have developed an usual style of string plucking where I keep one finger dedicated to each string. I have only been playing for about a year, so I'm still learning. I use my thumb on the E, index on A, middle on D, and ring on G and they stay there and only play their respective strings. I...
