I hate when my devices get catty and start bickering with each other!
- Get <sexual threat>. Can’t believe you thought you were on my level.
- Hey <profanity>, that was some serious potato aim. Get wrecked, trash.
- Only reason you went positive was you spent all game camping. KYS, kid.
- Cheap win. Totally expected from a <racial slur>.
- You suck. Get out of my country—maybe they’ll let you back in when your k/d’s over 1.

In the search bar, type. talkbass.com: search keywords
So basically the website name, a colon, a space, and what you want to search for. Works on pretty much any website.
Can you, somehow, limit the Google search to certain TB forums or threads, like the TB search does (I think)?

This is what used to work for me (and still does)...
site:talkbass.com search keywords
Interesting that the "site:" is no longer required. In Chrome, anyway.

Maybe if you include the forum name or thread title as part of the search terms, maybe. Try it!
I own a fender rumble 100 v3 and love it. I’m just a bedroom bass player/noodler.
However a good friend of mine who has his own band asked me how my playing is coming along and what my rig is. He told me that I might want to consider more watts for the stage.
So since then I’ve been eyeing the fender rumble 800 combo, but even though it has a lot more power it just seems too small in size for the stage. Would it be better to get the fender rumble 800 head and then some other taller cabinets for the stage?

I just go to to google and type in something like "talkbass fender rumble club". (Don't even need the quotes.)What is this "using Google to search TB" of which you speak? Please use small, simple words, so that even I might understand.

@B-Mac it really depends on the band and the room. I gig all the time with a Rumble 200c. It's plenty loud (we're a power trio). You can also add an extension cabinet to the 200 which I don't think you can do with the 100. I might take that plunge at some point just to see how it sounds.
Yeah, that's a little different and I'm sure there are folks here who can address it better than I can. Though wouldn't the bass be going through the PA if you're playing to a big space?
People will tell you that it's always better to have more power than you need but it also depends what you like. I like the sound of the 200 better than the 500, I guess because of the speaker configuration. I haven't tried the 800 -- the amp emulators sound like fun though.
You could always buy the 800 combo and add cabinets as needed, in case you wanted the option of just having one piece of gear for some situations.

I'm jist . . . what? And don't call me "Surely".
You're thinking like it's 1980. Back then, big rigs were mostly for show. That is no longer the case. You can get by with just using an amp stand that will raise the amp off the floor and kick it back so the sound is pointing at you and not blowing by your ankles. The Mud stand is very popular.
If you want to raise it up and have more speaker surface, get an extension cab.
BTW, I have gigged large clubs that had good FOH support using a 100 and using the XLR out to the board.
And always remember Mo Rumble is Mo Better!
Done the same.
But that moment when I played with a sh*t old combo of the other band, sounded bad and sometimes just cut out... Also one of the FOH's cabs were rattling like hell no matter what i did to my bass... priceless
Was the most annoying gig ever.
I gig a 100c for my blues band with cajon. I’ve even played a few gigs no-PA, competes with PA and Marshall tubes nicely. For the occasional bigger gig, where he brings the drums, i daisy chain 2 100C’s together. It’s very loud. I’ve even played that rig outdoors, no PA, with drums- and sounded great. Even got compliments from the bass-playing sound man
if I were in your shoes I’d get a 500c. Add an extension cab if needed (but you probably won’t need it.) get a 800 if you’re into modeling; but the 500 vs 800 will only net you a few dB more.
Rumbles are no joke!
