I hadn’t thought of rotating them but have named them Thing 1 and Thing 2. I plan to get that stenciled or painted on them at some point.If you are, unfortunately, as anal as I am, you'd have them marked #1 and #2, and rotate them for each gig, so each amp section gets 50% of the love/work. But that's just me. And I'm kind of out of my mind.
Like biking, I’m not in it for a race but for the long haul.Woo hoo!
72 in August, myself. Age is one race where you can never catch up if you start out behind.![]()
Careful.I hadn’t thought of rotating them but have named them Thing 1 and Thing 2. I plan to get that stenciled or painted on them at some point.
I think Disney owns the copyright on that.Yeah--nto even the shoelace normally--the last strap I got was in the case of a sued guitar--and it had the shoe laceYeah, I recently shopped at a Guitar Center for a guitar strap with laces on both ends. Not only were there NO leather laces, but I couldn't even find a strap I wanted with the shoestring laces on both ends! But I found something like this strap with one lace, then asked the checkout guy if they had any with two laces (to fit this lunch box for my 4-year-old grandson's birthday). He just went to the rack and grabbed a similar lace from some random strap and handed it to me! Ok. I'll take it.
Picky, picky, picky. So anal. I love it.I so wish you hadn't shared that with my OCD self...

Good points. I'll rotate...Picky, picky, picky. So anal. I love it.
And really, it's more than just the PREamps. It's the pots and switches and jacks (input, send, return).
Here are the settings I used last night vintage button on, Played a P Bass with flats...The combo sounds great on its own but adding the 115" ext cab made this thing come alive, not just for volume, which it does but the overall sound

Well, I got my Rumble 500 in January and I guess I'm a member now? Can I get a #?

Totally wrong! What is the matter with you. They should be marked A and B.If you are, unfortunately, as anal as I am, you'd have them marked #1 and #2, and rotate them for each gig, so each amp section gets 50% of the love/work. But that's just me. And I'm kind of out of my mind.

I use almost those identical settings.

Been playing bass for 55 years! (Wish it showed!) First and best love! Lots of gear over the years, but loving all the awesome options for bassists these days!
Had my beloved Genz Benz Shuttle die on NYE 2022! Had a backup Shuttle but wanted something robust and powerful to have as a go-to. Ordered the Rumble 500 and had it in time for the next gig! Performs admirably! Rocked it HARD last night!

I enjoy my R200. Nice fat round sound.Rumbling with a Lakland 44-01 and Fender MIM Standard Precision. Just using the 200 combo lately without the 115ext cab hooked up for home practice, it's pretty darn loud in a smaller roomView attachment 5105687 View attachment 5105691
