    String Replacement Question

    Try Ernie Ball Slinky strings. I find them smoother under the fingers as compared to DAddario.

    High action and intonation

    I’ve come to a similar conclusion. 2mm at the 12th fret feels great these days and sounds better for me.

    Squier VM 70’s jazz bass (2018) observation

    Looks killer! Congratulations. Maybe the tuners need to be disassembled, cleaned, and lubricated?

    Anyone gone to "silent" practice?

    Same here. I’m 100% headphones at home.

    Very happy with Rumble 100!

    If you like the Rumble 100 and it meets your current needs, definitely do not change the speaker. Rock it as-is.

    Cheap AND lightweight cab to pair with a Rumble 500

    I can recommend the matching Rumble 2x10 cabinet. It’s the perfect match for your Rumble 500, it’s relatively affordable, and lightweight.

    Nash JB-63

    Quick question for yall. Does the JB63 have the truss rod adjustment at the neck heel, like the old school Fenders? Does Nash include carbon fiber or graphite reinforcement in their necks? I couldn’t find this info on their website.

    Looking for dull sounding round wound bass strings

    I dig the way Boomers sound very non-roundwound. It’s all subjective, but Boomers may be what the OP is looking for.
