If I were to go the route of more amps that I absolutely don't need right now, I'd be looking hard at a PJB C2 or another one of those 20 pound wonders.
As I took lunch today at a brewpub that hosts bands [when brewpubs host bands] I remarked a Rumble 100 can absolutely work on their stage. A very small stage in front of floor-to-ceiling plate glass windows .... It's here and places like it where people want to be able to talk over the music at brunch and cocktail hour. Where FOH is for the singer.
To have 200 Elf watts and a micro cab is crackerjack in my book. A micro cab means I'm shedding only 10 pounds for load-in SO
really don't need anything now
especially with Chicago much on my mind
BREAKING NEWS sorta: My 1967 Non Reverse THUNDERBIRD is outta the shop and back in the nest. Good to have her home again. Bring on the gigs!

Two basses out of the shop today!
Seems to me we have a head-scratcher here:
Any GoF who believes a 30 pound rig is heavy isn't old enough to be a GoF
but
A bass player who would rather carry a 20 pound rig instead of a 30 pound rig on the merits of weight alone is probably a GoF
I do like the sounds I get from my Rumbles, but I'll admit that if I can use the 22lb. R100 instead of the 34.5lb. R200c, I'll do it in heartbeat.Two basses out of the shop today!

The moment I realize that I just pulled off that tritone thing and am finished with it
I remember when I traded my 80# SVT head in for something the size and weight of a lunch box. I was elated! It was some sort of new technology that used capacitors rather than a huge transformer. It had ample power and sounded very nice...until one day it didn't sound at all. And the guy who made it, a local fellow, was now no longer in business. I couldn't get it fixed. There were no schematics to be had. I was angry at the music store who I had dealt with for years that this was happening and they eventually gave me trade value on it that got me a used Fender Bassman 100 head. Loved it!Two basses out of the shop today!

Just a few years back I picked up the head in my avatar. It's absolutely great but the situation is nearly as notJaco described. We'll see how things go, it's already 25yrs old.
What kind of amp is it? No-name brand?

How does it drive now?
Oh it's got a name alright!
Lessee if anybody can discern the make from that vantage. I'll update later.

My kind of bass face!

I know what it’s like to be forgetful. It starts with W and ends with oods
Apparently only in a forward direction.
Thass purdy.
Nice. How long will it take for you to put a ding in it.
That would happen before I got the last screw in.
