Thanks! This is actually a coincidence, since I had this strap for about 5 years and I bought these cables few months ago when I was trying a leather strap. BTW it's a braided Rockcable, very cheap and good quality. They're a bit microphonic, but not terribly like Bespecos are.

I have one as well that I recently installed GZRs in. It's my favorite bass, and it pairs perfectly with my Rumble 500.
I had one before but I didn't like the QP pickup or the 7.25" radius but the Geezer is the truth. The neck that is on it was custom made in LA. Its quartersawn maple with a nice flame, 1.6" nut, 10" radius, BEM dots, rosewood board, stainless steel mandolin frets and hipshot ultralites. My friend had it made to replicate his Lakland 494 neck and it really just makes the bass play beautifully. Additionally this one is strung up with Ken Smith Slick Rounds. All in all with the Rumble amp, it sorta sounds like a 1960's recording studio in here.
MEDIUM SCALE?Oh crap, I missed the Fender Friday!!! Here's the Aerodyne I mentioned a few pages back, in its new home:

The fretboard was very dry, so I quickly ordered some lemon oil and applied two layers earlier today. Looks much better and smells nice too!
This thing is as fast as a ferrari, especially for slap. Surely it's because of the color
I started with a Rumble25 this past March. I upgraded to the Rumble100 this summer in preparation for a gig. The DI output to a PA works great using the 1x12" cab on stage as the stage monitor for the bass. Or, in quieter venues, the 100 is more than enough.
I love the Vintage tone shaping control, the Series III Rumble has three shape controls. Bright, Contour and Vintage. I usually have both Bright and Vintage pressed with the bigh meds rolled off just a bit. Most 12" cabs don't do justice to the low B string on a 5-string but the Rumble sure does!
Also the O. I realize lots of people hate on the Fender Overdrive circuit but I love it! It complements the Jim Dunlop flat strings I use, and gives a big, fat fuzzy tone without losing the crispness.
I'd recommend buying the foot switch that comes for it, so you can engage the OD circuit at will.
Unlike what I read online, I've found I can set the Overdrive to fuzz nicely without getting louder than the volume used by the clean channel, it doesn't break up or lose fuzz for me at a lower volume. I just had to play with it a little.
I'd be grateful for a number ...

I agree with this, after discarding all preconceptions and seriously playing with it. I concurulate sir!
They help. A lot. So does the VT bass and other preamp pedals as well.
I have an MXR M80 that I’ve used for years but it’s not a good match. I’m considering either the Tech 21 Q Strip or the Ampeg.
Either of those would work great. They both can achieve a brighter, cleaner tone than the Rumbles are capable of. It's nice to have some added versatility available to you.

I want something that sounds good in the house PA but also enhances what I’m getting from the amp rather than detracting from it.
Most of the preamp pedals work that way. You can add as much character as you wish. The Tech 21 is an EQ and has a very mild flavor, but tons of adjustability. You'll like it.
I have a replacement speaker for my Rumble 150 on the way, and I had a question about lining the cabinet.
Should I line the bottom? The cab is ported at the bottom, so I was thinking I should just line all the other sides and not the bottom.

I've been having trouble dialing the volume on my 500c recently. Up until 9 o'clock it's very quiet and past 9 o'clock it gets too loud almost instantly. The gain knob is completely turned down. I think I should try plugging into the fix loop return instead of the regular input
