rumble 500 runs the top 2 cabs and a peavey minimax 500 runs the bottom 2, i feed em with a ltd 6 string .. it's plenty loud that's for sure, but i really don't need all that wattage... i just like it

thanks, i really like it.. mostly classic rock and original metal stuff, but i've been playing around with jazz lately.. it's very challenging to say the least, a real eye opener... pretty cool to throw those complicated scales into rock 
Best thing that ever happened to my playing was joining a jazz combo. My only problem is that a lot of my fills and runs sound a little jazzy, so I have to learn more rock orientated bass soon.mostly classic rock and original metal stuff, but i've been playing around with jazz lately.. it's very challenging to say the least, a real eye opener... pretty cool to throw those complicated scales into rock
in my humble opinion, next to jazz...rock is a piece of cake. jazz seems to me to be very more complex. i've been messing around lately with the 7alt chord and the melodic minor.. fascinating. hats off to you if you have those jazz concepts under your fingers, wish i'd have studied it years ago
OOPS![sounds like sumpin' I'd do]I just spent 20 minutes trying to fix my tone before realizing my tweeter was on
Martin Mull once said (on the Mike Douglas show) 'If God hadn't meant for us to play loud, He wouldn't have given us amps!'. I lived by that theory for years.rumble 500 runs the top 2 cabs and a peavey minimax 500 runs the bottom 2, i feed em with a ltd 6 string .. it's plenty loud that's for sure, but i really don't need all that wattage... i just like it
Thanks. '67 NR Tbird I've had since 72-custom pickguard(original cracked but I still have it)
67, wow.. true classic. i started playing bass around 72ish. at that age the only tbird i ever heard was my next door neighbors car. i knew nothing about basses except "Paul" had a cool one. i started out with an old short scale fender knock off, hell, i didn't even know there was a short and long scale! but then again...we didn't have youtube.
Yeah, my first bass was a 66 EB-3. Quite a change going from one to the other.
Noob question here:
I just got some red cupcake knobs to replace the OD ones... and I can't seem to get the old ones off. Is there some special trick? Shouldn't they just pull off?

Welcome Rumbler #1009! Looks like you have done your research. Nice rig. But, have you ordered your Fender Precision yet? Rumble On!
The MIM Classic 50’s in Sunburst to be specific
Where did you buy the red knobs. Thanks
Fender Rumble 40 (and two Hofner Club basses) on their way to a gig last night via cargo bike. Rumble 40 worked great for the event. I DI'd through the PA and used it as a monitor. The ability to load my gear on a cargo bike opens up a whole new world for me.
Vice grips worked.
Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I assume you wrecked the knobs getting them off with vice-grips.
Next time loop a shoestring under it & then you'll have two ends to pull it straight off.
That would have worked quite well, I'll do that next time. Thanks.
The vice grips didn't do much damage. Zero would have been better but chances are good I'll never put the old knobs back on. Worst case I'll swap the treble knob with the worse of the two OD knobs. I never touch that one.
I got them off eBay. Nothing special they were just the cheapest I found that would do the trick. They're ever so slightly smaller in diameter and about 5mm shorter though. They look like they were meant to be there, but the stock knobs feel better.
