N Rumble D!

My Rumble 200 arrived today, and it takes up a lot of space in my tiny apartment! I haven't even cranked it up 50% of the way yet — super loud. There's a little bit of a hum, especially with the tone control on my bass turned up, which might be because it's next to a lot of my other electronics (my WiFi router is right above it). I was able to kill it my playing with the amp settings and rolling tone off a little bit.

Overall, I'm super happy! It showed up in better condition than I expected (the seller only posted four not-very-good photos of it) and was a decent deal at $315 including shipping, IMO. Definitely a step up from the Rumble 15 I sold a few months ago.

What are some settings y'all like on these? And do they take pedals well? Looking to get into effects more, and now that I'm good on the bass/amp front it seems like that's what I'm going to sink my money into.

Anyway, here she is (with my Mustang and Gretsch)

 

Missed all these replies!

I thought it was a steal too! The one I originally ordered from GC (which they ended up canceling, for some unknown reason) was closer to $360 shipped. Lucky I found this guy on Reverb! I have found that it's a little bass heavy, but I've been mostly playing around with my bass tone controls and leaving the amp flat. Will try out these settings!

Yeah, when I played with the Gretsch I didn't get a lot (if any) hum, so I think it's the J in the Mustang. I was thinking of replacing it anyway, so now I have more incentive. I'll give those settings a try!

I do the same thing (leaving it on flat). I like the Vintage best out of the three settings on there, definitely. I'm looking at getting a Muff (or Muff clone) plus a chorus of some kind — I really like the sound of a fuzz into chorus. I expected a little hum, I figure it's inevitable, but I was REALLY surprised at how noisy this was when I first plugged in. I think it might also have to do with the jack being loose, which I will fix (or, more likely, ask a more skilled friend or relative to fix for me. I'm not super comfy mucking around with electronics.)

Man, I wish you could see how small my living room (where the amp lives) is. When I first toured this place I was floored at how small it was. I think it used to be an outdoor porch that they converted into the living room for a basement apartment, just based on the layout of the place. Rent is cheap for the area though, so it's something I have to live with. Moving away might not be an option right now, but I'll keep that in mind!

I will throw my phone into the sea, thanks for the tips!

Oooooh, will do. Thanks!
