No offense if not applicable; make sure your strings are good and your bass is functioning nominally. My v3 500 combo is really good on the low E 41Hz or thereabouts.
Yes he was! He also was the 1st comedian to use fowl language in a different way on t.v on the ed Sullivan in the 60s.
Yes of course, but I like his main job though. I need to be careful here.
That's a fowl move there man a fowl move.
IT ARRIVED! 
I love this amp. Still dialing in, but within 2 minutes of setup had a sound I loved with both my Fender Active Jazz Bass Special and my Hofner HCT-500/1. This thing is awesome.

I'm glad it worked out for you. Now to get the other 210 cab, but you may not need it.
Ha, yeah, it definitely is way louder than I thought it would be. It rattles my house's windows at not even half volume and gain.
I love the 500c with the 210 under it. Just massive good tone. That being said, I'm a gear whore lol and am practically giving away a stack here in Cali and there is no love for the rumble out west I guess. But seriously, why can't I stop the madness and just be happy with my Rumble? I need some couch time...
I've had a few days with my new Rumble 500 combo. It (might be) replacing my GK 212ii which is in the shop(again). Luckily the GK never failed me on a gig, but it is worrisome, hence the change to the Rumble (s).
I have another Rumble 500 on the way to chain together to use for gigs. More power, maybe better tone? And redundancy are the pluses.
First impressions are pretty good. I haven't had it in a band setting yet, tonight we will see.
I did notice that the 500 is close to sounding "flabby" on my low notes open E....F. It's taken a bit of tweaking with my EQ to get past that.
I've also noticed I use a pick much more when playing through the Rumble. Pick attach just sounds much clearer (to me) then fingers. I normally play with just fingers on 90% of my bands songs. Now I use a pick probably 60% of the time.
When my GK is fixed it will be interesting to A/B these two amps.

Yep. I've yet to take my R500 rig past half/half, too. That was already in the "hearing damage" realm (and outside)!
Hope to have some friends over and get it out again next weekend. The R100 gets the practice time.
Cheers,
