The Combo Club

Opposite end of the spectrum is my newest combo.

Pic from the builder's site. Invalid Link Removed It's a guitar amp, and I've not tried it with a bass plugged in. A 9 watt battery provides the flame-throwing power.

Open, it's kinda buzzy, but with the top closed it sounds pretty good, if a bit quiet.

I wonder which way it's 'mint' to be played.:bag:
Edit: I know. I'm a very 'sick' man(I am a bass player, so...).

I bet it sounds a little tinny.

Stumbled upon this club while researching/preparing to buy a more powerful combo; though I still love my Fender R100c-- and that's how I ended up here!

While nearly convinced to add a Rumble 200 to the stable, I learned about daisy-chaining a pair of R100's. Got some more reading to do before committing to the idea myself, but wanted to post a "Thank You!" to all here.

Spent a few hours this morning with my R100c and realized that I'm very happy with the current setup. A pair of R100's running together might just make 2023 a year to remember :D

I don’t think you can go wrong either way, but since you have a 100 already, another 100 is the cheaper option - just factor in sometimes making an extra trip with the second amp (or growing another arm or whatever).

My set up at practice today. Playing with a new drummer today. It was great!

A tiny combo sounds huge in a mix with close mic'ing

Both our guitar players tend to bring tiny combos and either close mic or use a DI to the PA. So far our sound people have been happy with my Rumble not going through the PA. I trust them on telling me how loud to run them, so it works great.

Aha! I bought a collapsible hand trucks for toting boxes of books to signings, and have used it for bass stuff, but where we meet now doesn't have a smooth path from where I park to the building entrance and it's easier to just make an extra trip. Have to ponder this one; it's even got holders for two travel coffee mugs!
