Two decades later, Trujillo is arguably the most suitable bassist for Metallica, given his gentle and mild-mannered personality. In an established band, it’s not just an individual’s musicianship that matters, but also their personality and how well they fit within the group dynamic. There have...

I think I should stop selling off my gear and getting this seller's remorse every time. 😅 It's kind of hard to believe I've gone through four cycles of selling and buying rumbles in less than three years. Just brought home a white Rumble 100, and the weight surprises me every single time I...

You can, but I think you're going to develop some real bad habits that will be difficult to correct later on. I'm not sure how well a guitar teacher will be able to spot and correct your bass-specific fretting, plucking, and muting techniques. These are essential fundamentals. To this day, I...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice from fellow players, especially anyone who has dealt with back issues. I am not too certain this is the right subforum to post in but apologise if it isnt. I have a bulging disc, so standing for long periods eventually causes pain. Surprisingly, sitting...

thanks! you are absolutely right, no XLR too for B17

Hi everyone! I recently sold my bass, and the buyer brought along a PJB Double Four Plus. I was totally shocked—not just by the volume, but by the bass and clarity. It almost made my Fender Rumble 100 sound like it had a wet blanket over it. That experience sent me down the PJB rabbit hole, and...

how about fretless?

somewhat. i used to get teased cheekily by bandmates whenever i turn up with my steinberger

may i ask more about the recontouring? i could understand the defretting, but recontouring seems wild

It's called a clownburst, and it's vintage-correct. Some folks would pay big bucks to the CS for a period-correct one

Could understand how TS feels. But hey, the situation could be worse. The parts could've come from some unknown sweatshop somewhere (which, honestly, I wouldn't be surprised by with certain "boutique builders" that I shall not name). Warmoth is a legend, really. They make incredible parts...

Hi, may I ask if the Rumble 500 would be suitable as my only amp for practice, rehearsals, and small gigs? My main concern is the volume for home practice, and whether it’s possible to use it at night. Can the volume be lowered enough for quiet practice? This would be my first “big amp.” I...

i really like it when rosewood boards like yours has this streak pattern. nice!

sorry for asking this if it answer is clear cut. . does it mean the rumble 100 with the 4Ω is louder than the earlier 8Ω version? if not, had a different sound?

HI! I love the bass when I was younger but was never very good at it though. Took a break from playing for over a decade! I think it started off from a failed relationship… or maybe, I just couldn’t really recall the reason why I stopped 😅. I remembered a new job, a new relationship, marriage...
