I consider that Bassman 500 a Rumble. It has is basically a Rumble 500 with a better front end in a vintage style box. I use it and 2 1x15 neo cabs as my "big rig".
I found adding the 2x10 gives you allot more extra volume. Not only are you bumping the amp power from 350W to 500W, you are moving more air. I dramatically back off with the master volume when using the stack.
Yeah. I gotta do the same if I use the 112 under the 200c. Right now all of our gigs, the 112 stays home. The 200c barely gets a workout. And we don't go FOH. Our one outdoor venue-which had FOH-was eliminated by the community
(Abacoa Car Shows)
Yes, there is more volume, but it isn't like 2x the one cab volume. It that you are pushing more air gives you the feeling of a full sound with more volume.
So a compressor pedal is NOT necessary at all ?!! I read it was probably the most 'crucial pedal' and am looking out for a MXR M87.....
Play through the amp for awhile and see if you need it-or buy the pedal somewhere you can return it.
I have that same Eden cab. It lives at our rehearsal space (Guitar/singers house) and i take my head in and use it with that cab. Sounds glorious! But just about any amp sounds great through that cab. Careful, you can get a huge bottom end overload!
my Fender jazz is a bit boomy on E string frets 7 to 12....would a compressor pedal help with this?
I've never used one so IDK. The only pedal I use is an EHX Micro POG, octave up for bass and guitar unison effect.
HOLD UP! LOL....to WHOM are you referring? Because I am a member of this club, Dav...but since when does anyone HAVE to be a member of this club to participate in this thread? Really? Is there some password and secret handshake? If you feel THAT I WAS the one being snarky, so be it Buddy. I have called Linnin out several times when he is rude and patronizing to others in this thread and in others. Usually I just sit by and watch him throw dung at everyone but there are times when I can't stand it anymore...and I am certainly not the only member who grows tired of it and has complained about it
Oh, did I hurt your feelings by standing up for gear that's NOT Fender? Last I checked, we are allowed to discuss other gear in this thread, are we not? Yes, we are. I will put praise where praise is due, and furthermore I would not have been discussing other gear if Linnin had not made a point to run-down the other brands, as he always does.
Also, where was I "knocking Rumbles"? I have never ran-down any Rumbles or Fender gear, Sir. In fact, I am always full of praise for Fender amps.
Lastly, I was in no way being condescending to him or anyone else, unlike Linnin who takes great pride in running others down...be clear on that. I do think it's hilarious that you think I was projecting...you are free to kiss his feet if you want. I appreciate his Fender knowledge and enjoy his stories, but I do not suffer bullies and braggarts!
And one last thing, this is not YOUR playground, Dav

Roger, that, Dav. I, too, consider the Rumble 500 and Bassman 500 very close siblings. It's truly a golden time in Fender Bass Amplification to have available such a broad range of such great sounding products, from small affordable practice/beginner boxes to medium power, to bass modeling(!), to all-tube heads & neo cabs, to 500 & 800 watt amps! I love it!
While I agree with most of what you’re saying here, I think you are wasting your time and breath. It’s been my experience that the rules don’t apply to “Linn the Messiah” around here. In fact YOU will get blasted for not quietly taking his crap with a smile and a “thank you sir, may I have another” attitude. Just ignore him and focus on the good information and resources. Even the more reasonable and level headed posters here have a soft spot for him and sometimes feel the need to land on swords for him when he acts like a jerk. Comes with the territory...HOLD UP!

I've been searching for a new strap for the bass and a stand as well. Checked MF this morning and their "Deal of the Day" is a Fender Deluxe Hanging Guitar Stand at $16.99 (regularly $39.99). That's LESS than half price - so I ordered two and a couple of straps!
My theory is that someone left a Rumble 500 head alone overnight in the closet with a Bassman 100T. ICE power unit with 212AX7 pre amp tubes...'splane that to daddy!
Not infantile. Rather intelligent. I've worked on my playing, learned better timing & when I want to come in & out as well as learned a friend's live album via that auxjack which I found on my Rumble Hunnerd.
For everyone who's playing tonight: have a good gig and safe trip(s).
I’ve strayed a bit from the straight and Rumble...
I bought a Strat to fool with and purchased a Fender Champion 40 to run it.
Anyone know where I can get the black grill sheets? I want to murder out my amps. The black corner pieces would be cool too.
