Oy!I'm assuming that's because combos are base products.

For $10 you can get a black face logo for your combo...I did!
When you said "don't cheap out" you meant it! Right now that's outside of my price range but I'll keep that in mind when more $$ free's up. For now I'll probably have to go with a simple stomp box type in the 100-200 range. Hopefully it will be good enough at least for now.
That’s a great song. It has a VU kinda feel to it as well. Our lead guitarist plays flute so I think I’m gonna pitch this as a possible cover when we need something when our singer is late to the stage.
I do all my home goods shopping at Bloodbath and Beyond.I googled it. Surprisingly, there are a bunch listed including Amazon. I think mine came from there or possibly "Bed, Bath and Beyond"(?) Good hunting.
But I’m weird that way.
Since getting my Super Bassman in 2012, I've not used any fx pedals except for a EHX Micro POG for an octave up, and sometimes octave down effect. The amp is just THAT good. The onboard drive is very adaptable that I've not used/ needed anything extra.
That said, my Rumble 500C is a super bit of kit too. It gets used just as much as the SB, primarily for rehearsals, but also for many gigs that have difficult load ins etc

Ooops, I misinterpreted - I thought it was a $1,700 COMPRESSOR, not an entire amp!
It's very full featured.
Having read through a bunch of reviews it looks like the Seymour Duncan Studio Bass compressor is very highly recommended. $170.
It's very full featured.
Barber Tone Press works well when and if I use it, $149
Actually, I'd turn it around and ask, "What's with the blackface logos on the Rumble cabs?" None of the combos, nor cabs, on the Fender website have blackface logos. Even the original Custom Shop all tube Rumble had flat logos!
Are they intentionally trying to "muscle in" on Bassman cab sales? Lots of Bassman heads have Rumble cabs, with blackface logos, under them!
So, indeed, what's up wit dat?

Man oh man, that would just sound like heaven!
Or get the 500 with all the bells and whistles, more power, less than half the price, same front end, and only 17 lb.s, ladies and gentlemen, the Bassman 500:
Welcome Rumbler #1021! So how's it working out for you? Rumble On!Oh dear, sorry about taking so long! Here ya go
ten more days … ten more days … ten more days …
Hi All!
New member. I’ve had the V3 500 2x10 combo for a month or so now and enjoyed it but felt something was missing. It felt like at higher volumes with my G&L L2000 I’d have to dial out a fair amount of lower mids to keep it from farting out. I know the L2000 has really hot pick ups, but it just wasn’t quite the sound I was after.
Yesterday I picked up a 1x15 V3 cabinet to go with the combo and couldn’t be happier. This thing punches so hard! So looking forward to gigging with this.
