Guitar player for a long time. I purchased an American jazz bass a few years ago for recording purposes. I never had a dedicated bass amp. I spent some time yesterday playing numerous combo amps at a local music store and decided to go with the Fender Rumble 200. I wanted something that sounds good, under $500. and with an XLR out. The real reason for purchasing the amp.... it just sounded good to this guitar players ear. Also, I honestly can't believe how deceivingly lightweight this amp is. It is actually a minor concern of mine. Anyway.... just wanted to say hello. Matt
