The Combo Club

If you have a Rumble 200 Combo and add a Rumble 115 cab, would size gig could you play? 200 watts into two 15" drivers?
Pretty much anything(other than a coffee house acoustic gig). Plenty from the stage and with FOH(whatever that is*), a stadium.

* I know what FOH is, we just never have it
 
hi folks,

has someone here an idea if ibanez combos are good?
there is a ibanez promethean p3115 on the bay that i consider buying...
I talked with a guy who was playing one at a blues fest pre-covid. It sounded good to me out front and he liked it a lot [sound and function] but yearned for something a little smaller. Don’t we all?

Well, I don't want to burst any bubbles but, some want something bigger :jawdrop:...

The upright players seem to like (liked when it was around?) the Promethean plenty, and that's high praise.

thanks for your answers. i´ll give it a try.

it´s new (the shop i ordered it from seems to have in stock for a while) and the price seems great, compared to other combos in that "weight-class"
 
As the proud member no.184 of this club, I give myself the right to post the video I just made of my currently favorite combo amp GK Fusion 112, where I demonstrate the sound of the amp alone, independent cabs Orange OBC112 and Markbass 102P Trv, as well as a combination of GK+Orange and GK+Mark as an extension cabinets....


I move we make @_Obra_ the official TB Demo Dude.

Saw some Ampeg Rocket combos at GC today and liked what I saw, but they were not what I'm looking for now. And they were on sale too, good prices, and GC has also got a coupon for 15% off for the 7/4 weekend... ~With the Rockets it seems Ampeg has pulled off the same miracle that Fender has, whereby their 1x10 50W combo is actually lighter than their smaller 1x8 25W combo.
But anyway I wanted something really small and light, so I returned my new Orange Crush 25W for a Vox 50W combo which weighs but an amazing 10lbs. And getting 15% off on the Vox made this little amp even more likeable to me as it's price was more in line with what I think it's worth.
I also played Fender's Mini-P bass when there and liked that very much too...

Well, if no one else is gonna start off today in the CC with a greetings, then it shall be me...

Happy Independence Day to all Americans around the world!

As for everyone else, have a great day too and don’t forget to play some bass...

A Boss Katana 110 bass combo critique will be coming to the Combo Club in due time. I’m still trying to figure out how to plug it in! :banghead:

You may have gotten one of the ones that requires you to plug it into 220V.
J/K. Happy 4th. Be safe.
As a sort of addendum to my last post, we shoulda been booked for a Fourth of July BBQ/picnic/whatever. We ain't.:(
