I have a question, it may seem odd, maybe not, that's up to you to decide.

I have a little Rumble 15 practice amp that I absolutely love the tone from. It's a nice midrangy sound (expected with a small cab and 8" driver) and il like to find something in the 100-350 watt range in a combo that is voiced like that for smaller acoustic settings or coffee shop gigs.

Do the bigger brothers to the mighty (small) rumble 15 still have close to the same voicing? I know it's bound to change some, but I really like the midrange push it has, it just like it louder to carry a small room

I didn't have the rumble 15.
But had a good vox bass amp .
And switch to rumble 100.
Things get deeper but less punch and less sharp sound that bass make .
So I think sound change more than a little .

Yeah, both the Rumble 15 & 25 are all midrange. A really good sounding midrange, but all midrange nonetheless. You could try a Rumble 100 which has very strong mids and pull down the bass and treble while boosting the low and high mids.

Thanks for the reply. I'm playing a fretless jazz with another playing an acoustic guitar, so I'm needing something smaller but with a nice midrange voice that is easy to carry. I'll give the 100 a try, that might be the ticket.

I have many amp/rig systems, mostly either Ampeg or GK, but they are either too complicated to set up, or just too much amp system for this job.

A small combo with the mid voicing would be the perfect set up.

Just as you said fretless .
There is a bass player that he use roland amps .
With fretless I don't know how but the sound is so great and full.
Time shaping is so high that you think he changes basses .
I think he used roland 60 watt or 120 watt .
Check it out ,maybe that's the sound you want .

I had the R15 for awhile. I could get my R40 or 100 to sound like 15 but never the other way around. Dialing out all of the lo-mids and most of the bass, hi-mid and treble near center, deselect the Vintage and Contour buttons and use the Bright if that's what you're going for. Or use a guitar amp.

For anyone who has never seen a redwood though, it's kind of a mind-bender the first time.

It's a relief when you do finally climb out of the oaks and into the redwood rainforest. It means you're getting near the summit.

A couple shots half way up in the transition zone and one at the summit rest stop.

New member alert! I'm rather an amp-less guy, relying solely on my B7K and whatever mixing console is available.

However, I own the Rumble combo 500 for a few days now. I got it mostly for rehearsals, and it just feels good to have an amp in case it's needed at some point. Due to its low weight and high output power it seemed like the perfect amp for me.

I picked it over GK MB210 because the Rumble was available at my local music store (more on that later). Other reason was that I haven't seen a single complaint about it, while MB210 allegedly suffered from build quality issues... Then it turned out that the local store didn't have the Rumble in-store and they ordered it for me. Few days later I saw an offer from an online store selling a new Rumble with 33% off! Luckily I could cancel the order at the local store :cool:

I played it at home at minimal gain and volume (It's 350W after all!) and I really liked the sound. What I didn't like was the distortion mode, because it seems to remove plenty of low end. However, it does a great job as a mute switch with gain and volume on zero ;) I haven't tested it on a rehearsal yet, I can't wait to see how it performs.

Well ,you know because american brands are so far away from us +tax +tax of county should enter and ...
Things get really over priced .

But some easy things ,armen bass are much cheaper here .(although not fan of them ).

Some Ibanez that made in Indonesia are cheaper from Europe.


Fender ,musicman ,g&l .
This company don't wanna sell things to us .
Because I'm not into politics I won't talk bout this part more .
But some website like fender they close access in my country .
Or don't have shops near us .
So you need to from one country then send it to another then from that country to my country .like : Italy ,turkey ,Iran Or
Germany ,Dubai (tax is high ),iran
That add extra money to things .
Well happily some iranian artists make a shop that sell fender , although not like usa price but much lower than top way .but steal no Mesa ,no musicman no g&l ,no Gibson .

Like fender Mexican p bass is 875$.in past it was 1200$.

But maybe one day price come lower ,and I'm pretty sure that day there will be huge growing in Iran music .

Don't stress it. Those prices aren't much different than here in Australia. .... and we suck up to the US.:bag:
So. .. we sometimes have to buy US Fender from other sources or ship it in. ..
Due to our out-sourcing and a few other things, thankfully, the 2nd hand price of these high ticket items, has dropped, but they're still very high new from local stores:spit:
