That would be seriously loud.
All this talk about EQ has got me thinking about the “Rumble Flat EQ.” I tried it at home once, but kind of wrote it off as too crunchy/gritty.
Welp, just for gits n shiggles, I tried it out at rehearsal last night. (TBH mine was closer to 10/2/2/10.) SO. FREAKIN. GOOD! Very tight and punchy, thick and rich, but not boomy or flabby. It reminded me of a GK MB combo; not exactly the sound, but the response & transition of fingers-to-speaker.
I know I’ve posted a lot of EQ settings the past few months. It’s not that each setting is better than the last; it’s that they ALL sound good! I’m personally finding they are very versatile, and buy the “one trick pony” narrative less and less.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you with my earplugs in, can you repeat that?"WHAT?"
Well, having never turned my R200c beyond 12, I feel much more comfortable now that I know I have plenty left, and that you are wearing earplugs!
5 years ago today I got my Rumble 200 combo (plus an Am.Std Precision) pushed the vintage switch on, all controls at noon & left the yellow carboard advert were it was and found this club 
. It was a good day 
and I still love this bass & combo today, though I think my warranty has just run out

Hey, Shawny, you got 1 more more day of warranty! Your first post here was January 15th!
Unless you're in Australia? .

haha, yep. I play in a metal band and we're bass/guitar/drums and vocals so I'm basically rhythm guitar and the guitar player knows how to eq and sit on top of my madness pretty well. So, it works out pretty good. When I have two cabs with this amp the master ends up sitting around 10 or so otherwise I drown out the very loud drummer.
It says they put a Rumble 500 in the same box Shawn..haven't you found it yet loll5 years ago today I got my Rumble 200 combo (plus an Am.Std Precision) pushed the vintage switch on, all controls at noon & left the yellow carboard advert were it was and found this club

I think it all arrived on the 14th (will check). Though to be honest the R200C has never let me down once in these years, a very reliable and great sounding combo.Hey, Shawny, you got 1 more more day of warranty! Your first post here was January 15th!
