RETURNED!! I didn’t really get to enjoy it but from what I can tell, it seemed to be ok, tone wise. But I also felt that the Rumble may have had the edge for me so if I venture into this again, I may just get another Rumble 100 to stack. I wish the Ampeg brand outside of the RB series was...

I finally opened it and set it up. I noticed right away that there was a strange sound heard when I was playing a certain volumes or when I attacked hard on certain notes along the fretboard. I went to take the grill off to see if there was a tag or something laying on the speaker but it may be...

I just took delivery of a new RB112. I haven't plugged it in yet though. Later today I will and I really look forward to discovering this baby. I've always liked the Ampeg sound but a few years ago I was trying to lighten up my load and became a Rumble guy. It's been good too. I mostly use the...

I am back to this thread just to say that I, this morning, ordered the RB112. I'm very grateful that I could get all the information here and its here STILL to go over again

This is great. It makes sense to continue the chop for the mandolin player to solo. What do you guys think if I become too expressive at the wrong time? Would I be told or scowled at. LMAO. It’s just fun thinking about jamming in a bluegrass setting. I’m definitely going with the...

Wow! What great insight from you guys. I really am grateful for this. I am starting to see that there is the feel thing going on as usual.

This will be my approach. Thank you.

Yea. Maybe like a bass solo thing. As they go around the circle. Idk. I just listened to the album Earl Jam with Tony Trischka. The bassist slapped some a clicked most every note baroque style.

I’ve been playing with and developing a good slap rhythm for a while now. Ive focused on Wayne Hancock’s bass performer’s styles for much of my listening. Along with Bill Black, Lee Rocker and others that employ the technique. I’ve also been playing a lot of traditional music (country, folk...

Whoa!! I made a mistake thinking that I was a dumb question. You guys are awesome. I’m glad I asked. I was going nuts reading through all that material compiled in all the amp threads. It’s great stuff but I would be too old to care by the time I would have found my answers. 🧐🥳

That’s what I thought. Thanks @arbarson

I did a search but it’s such a dumb question that it hasn’t been asked yet. Or I just couldn’t find it. But as the title suggests. I already own the Fender combo but I want to get the Ampeg RB112. Knowing the facts about being able to Daisy chain two Rumble 100s, I thought I could do the same...

I'm looking at the Continental Club because we are staying at the Embassy Suits by Hilton a few blocks away. Gruene is 45 minutes by car, from where I am staying so I may balk on it. But if it's recommended, I may go anyway. Two nights in Austin. One in San Antonio. River Walk. Thank you...

:D Honky Tonk:bassist:

My wife and I are going to visit Texas this May and I’d like some guidance from anyone who is familiar with the area. I’m looking to go to a couple of places where I can find some traditional C/W music and Western swing. I googled ‘honky tonk’ and a few places came up on six street and fifth...
