You're welcome @JACink. It is the least I could do.Thanks @Linnin, I appreciate the warmth
and if you're looking for a lefty, you're not going to get it. Both Esperanza Spalding and Tal Wilkenfeld are petite women with small hands yet play full size long scale basses without any problem. I have never seen the need for short scale basses except for the Fender VI to accommodate guitarists doubling on bass.
Maybe I'm a guitarist in disguise
I own both long and short scale basses, and have had to stick on the shorter scale. I can play the long scale fine (I'm not that small), I just suffer a lot of pain in my left wrist after playing for extended periods of time. This could be due to having broken that wrist on multiple ocasions, or it could be crap tecnique on my behalf, but I don't get that pain when playing 30". Seeing that my play time is limited anyway (due to work, family, other hobbies etc.), I can't see the point in not being able to make the most of the time I do get.
(BTW, I'm not a lefty, I just think that they get a crappy choice of options!)
We do, and thank you for your concern. We're fortunate to get the few left handed instruments that are offered as there is little or no profit in them.
I am getting the 500 2x10 combo used for $300. I think its a good price.
I can play long scale I choose not to. It's about comfort and I have small hands so my Mustang PJ fits me perfect!
Question for all you who use a 500 combo with an extension cab:
When stacked vertically with the combo on top, is it hard to see the control panel? It seems to me that the extra height would at least make it a little less visible. Maybe not a problem, though?

OK, it was settled... The rumble 200/112 did not need ANY pa support tonight, and master was straight up at noon, gain slightly under noon. As soon as I fired it up it was apparent that we didn't need to use the xlr out. And boy did it rumble. A past bandmate was there and confirmed that it was full and solid. He got a video of one song, so I may be sharing soon.
I really only need support on tall stages, this stage was maybe 8-9" at most. About a 150 max capacity place.
Turnout sucked though, Thursday night and not properly promoted (just by band names, no mention that it was tributes, let alone the bands that were being tribute'd). But attitudes were good, and we delivered the goods, and a weekend show end of next month is about a 90% sure thing.

my buddy started an acoustic bluesy cover band that plays in small local dives. and has asked me to start playing with them. my practice amp is too small. and my main stage amp is way too big. was thinking Rumble 100. any thoughts or suggestions? is that too loud??

As said above, it would be perfect. But so would the 200 and 500, as both have a volume knob
Nonsense! There are no knobs on any of my Rumbles labeled "Volume"As said above, it would be perfect. But so would the 200 and 500, as both have a volume knob
I beg your pardon kind sir, the correct term would have been "Master", they ran out of space to write volume
