    Short Scale Basses

    I had a Squier SS Jag and still have a Gretsch Broadkaster (the first SS I ever purchased). Main difference for me was the Jag felt way too small and you knew it was a short scale in your hands,couldn't come to grips with it so it was sold. The Gretsch on the hand feels just like all my other...

    What is your favorite P Bass Color

    My choice in finish and neck options speaks for itself. Works for me in another way as well because to my girl they all look the same ! "Is that a new bass babe ? " she'll ask. "No just the same one I've had for years darling " I always reply. Now I just need a P/J with the same look. She will...

    Fender Rumble Club

    My Rumble 500 combo just continues to surprise me ! Had a gig yesterday afternoon at a local bar,backing mainly vocal and guitar students tutored by my fellow band mates at a family concert. The venue is indoors,dark, like a long concrete bunker, and is just darn loud ! Played many gigs there...

    I have used the DI and SVT sim long before I got the Rumble and was using Genz Shuttle 9 and matching 4x10 as stage monitor. The only reason I went for the 500 combo was purely to downsize as the genz rig was heavy and overkill at most gigs. I read nothing but goodness about the Rumbles here...

    Fender Rumble Club

    After 12 months of regular gigging I still just love my rumble 500 combo and its all I use now. We also always have our own FOH support and we are the "sound guys" . I am not anti the rumbles DI and only ever used it once because I forgot my pedal board power supply. I personally prefer using a...

    Maybe dumb question ? but I have the 500 Rumble combo and love it. I got offered the 200 combo with the 15" speaker. Is it possible to connect the 2 combos stacked ?

    Added my settings to the Tone Pool,rather boring but I like what I hear,and we always have FOH support.

    What's this ? Page 325 ! and I know why :) Had my Combo since September last year now and gigged this thing hard out ever since. It's my main rig now and hardly seem to use my genz 900w head and quad any more. I gave up even yearning for a matching extension speaker for the rumble. Have I gone...

    I been gigging with my 500 combo , 2 nights most weekends , since I got it last September. Thats a load of gigs. Don't need an extension cab,it's plenty loud as a stand alone.Band loves the sound. My Genz amp and 4x10 has been gathering dust since the Rumble arrived. The covering is getting a...

    Fender '70s Precision Bass

    Still got my MIJ , it's a keeper for sure. I fitted new quarter pounder pups in and then back out after a few weeks.I didn't like them,so the stock pups went back in and after trying both I like the tone better actually from the stock items. Tried TI Jazz flats for a while but after a few weeks...

    Your settings look almost identical to mine aside from master volume level (decibel meters are a buzz killer ! ) and I normally have the contour button on. My master sits around 1-2 o'clock and thats plenty enough to hear myself and compete with drums/guitar. Another point is as much as I was...

    I'm really keen to hear your own verdict on the 15" extension addition , keep us posted Fletz . And that brings me to next topic mentioned above,new releases. I have been thinking about the 15" ext cab to go with my 500 combo,but in all honesty I am reluctant for a few reasons, 1. It's been...

    This set up now "forces " me to leave my cherished amp and 4x10 at home. ;)

    Fender Rumble Club

    Similar experience for me,I have used the 500 Combo for a few gig busy months,thinking I would probably add the 15" cab. But I am more than happy with the combos output as a standalone ! My intention was to only use it for smallish venues and take my Genz amp and 4x10 rig to the bigger gigs as...
