Wait... I meant 9pm... oops.

In terms of wars with guitar players... I took my 500 Combo and new 210 cabinet yesterday to rehearsal and it was plenty, which was pleasing. I ran the Gain at around 1500/3pm and Master at 0100/1am. It was great to be able to hear myself, the next step is getting better at setting the EQ for...

If you have any tips on working with loud guitars throw them my way.

Did somebody want some bass?

Groovy - ta. I was just wondering once you turn her on and she starts her Rumbling.

Hmmm... I think I need a strategy to get the band to turn down just a bit, especially guitars...

Do you just put the combo on top of the speaker cabinet and it is safe and secure or is there anything else you need to do?

I remember seeing his tour in the mid or so 90s in Aus. Very impressive. It was my first stadium type show - fireworks during Live and Let Die and all.

That is quite funny. I bet he is wearing a cod piece too. That looks from the back like a Klingon band...

I had not thought about this that much, to stack safely do you need to do any more than just whack it in top of the matching cabinet? I am also interested in the difference between stacking and separating perhaps a few metres or so apart, are there circumstances where people feel there are...

Marshall amps I meant.

Thank you. Believe it or not I am still concerned about getting the right set up so we can all hear. marshall stacks are loud!

I feel your pain. I have just started playing with a band for the first time (at 41). They are very loud across the board to compete with. I have had excellent feedback as you have about amps, basses, and even strings here which has been awesome. As of yesterday I decided, that if I am going...

Oh volume also, I did not realise that. I am having volume issues within the band. I am sure part of that is due to the high volume of the other guys, but it is a bit much for me to bring that up after only three rehearsals together.

Awesome - probably seems logical. but as someone new to jumping in to play with others I did not know the difference. In fact I found them very comfortable to play with. Much to learn I have...

Thanks Linnin. I will fiddle with the Gain at a more reasonable hour (it is 0705 here), thanks very much. At present I am playing an Affinity Jazz - it is a friend's, several years old and has the original strings.

Hey Guys, I would like to ask a few questions about my new Rumble 500 Combo. 1. When I play the open E string, I note a 'carry over' quieter sound that requires me to quite firmly mute the string, lightly doing so and moving to the next note does not do this, it remains underneath the sound...

My Combo 500 cost me $950 AUS. The 210 cabinet I think he said was around $550-600ish. I am going to reflect after a rehearsal this week whether I need to jump in on a cabinet (I am hoping not at present, just to keep options open to look at a bass upgrade perhaps first). Having said that, at...

When I bought my Combo 500 this week and enquired about cabinets they commented they would all be going up in the new FY by about $50 (Aus).

Has anyone tried a Coronado?

I was going to ask about what to expect between higher level Squiers and Mexican Fenders - that is ultimately where my budget would be at present.

That makes me think flats would be the go for me. I get what you are saying about the neck - I do find it very comfortable to play. When I have picked up new basses they almost sound a bit metallic compared to what I am used to. They also pick up my technique flaws (as a developing bass...

Excellent feedback - thank you. I will have to do some string research. I have found myself to be much more comfortable with the old strings on the Affinity J than picking up a new bass in store and playing with brand newies, but that is probably also limited experience on my part.

Thanks heaps. There is a Squier Affinity Club? I will have to check that out - that is where I am right now.

Groovy - thanks. Is there an equally good forum on Fender guitars around I can start checking out in terms of looking at a new bass? I have a Squier J bass, which I am very comfortable with, including the old strings, but I would like to start planning ahead a bit and I know very little about...

Thank you so much for bringing up ear plugs - that was my next question!

Thanks Linnin. I may be over analysing here - but do you recommend specifically a solid wooden chair as the tilt and metal fame of a store bought tilted riser would affect performance?

Hey Guys, First timer here, I have spent days on this thread and site. I am pretty new to the bass (very haphazard lessons for a little under a year) and recently decided to challenge myself to play with others. I would love some feedback on a few things. I took a new Rumble 200 Combo to my...
