Fender Rumble 500 combo for playing at home

Hello.
I am new at the forum.

I recently purchase a fender rumble 500 combo. I basically play along with the songs I like using the aux in. Usually I play in my bedroom, I am not in a band ( maybe someday ).
Well, I was concerned this amp would be to loud for home practice but I can inform you guys that is really ok to manage the volume for home practice using the master knob.

I am also happy with the tone, is very versatile. Plus I have a tech 21 vt bass di in case i need to shape the tone in a more ampeg way. My bass guitar is a fender 62 reissue MIJ left handed.

I still own my previous combo - a ampeg ba 108 that wasn’t dealing well with my bedroom volume - i was getting distorted tones before 12 o’clock.

Anyone having a good time with rumble combos? Any review from a long term user?

Thanks
