Thanks again, everyone, for suggesting I try DeOxit D5 on my crackling 200 combo. I took it apart yesterday to spray the pots and pushbuttons, and the gig last night went smoothly without any crackles – so far I am very happy indeed. To get to the pots and switches, you need to disassemble...

Thank you for the warning, G-Dog. As soon as I muster the courage (and time!) to open the thing up, I'll try my best no to ruin things further. And thanks to M-Mittlestaedt and Stealth57 for the cleaning tips. I guess I'll try my luck with the D5.

My 200, too, has the flu. And has had it since I bought it used, to be honest. It might well have been the reason the guy sold it in the first place. The problem at the time really was the return jack and whenever the amp crackled and farted, I would run a plug in an out of the jack a couple of...

Hey Enrique, for raggae sounds I would always start at the source, i.e. the bass itself. To me, that's where most of the sound comes from. Experiment with your tone control and maybe some dampening (think foam, palm muting or left hand techniques). There is also this tone trick that Scott's Bass...

This will be a two-parter on how I use OD and pedals: Up until recently, I never used the onboard overdrive. Not as a drive and not as a mute button either. Instead, I always had the vintage button pressed and used pedals (at the very least I have a tuner that mutes my signal if I need it, an...

This does definitely work. A BOSS LS-2 is one of the solutions to this.

Thanks for the warm welcome, @G-Dog ! Will try that SVT setting, for sure. If I remember correctly, you guys convinced me to buy one. :D Before the Rumble, I used to play (and still own) a 600 Watt beast of a Trace Elliot full stack. What can I say? Those were the 90s. But once your spinal...

Thank you, dORSY! I was already familiar with the wiki and the tone pool. I already added the setting to the tone pool a few days ago. What I meant when I said that I could only approximate the frequency response was that the B15 has baxandall-style tone controls @ 40 Hz and 5 kHz. The...

Hello everybody, first post on here. I've been playing bass for almost 30 years now and for the last 6 of those years, I've been using a Rumble 200 combo. I liked the sound and portability of it right away – mostly because I didn't have to hunt around for a good sound. Most of the time, I just...
