Thought I'd have a skeg in the classifieds and this is in FL.

For Sale - Fender Super Bassman 300 with 6x10 Neo Cab

That sounds amazing, but I don't have that kind of money to put toward a rig right now. But that's good incentive to save it up fast.

Also... I'm unfamiliar with "skeg" but thanks for doing it!

12 and 15 is all I will ever use now. Unless it’s an old SVT square-back cab!!

Yep 12s and 15s. Don't post stuff like this in the gen pop. Mixed cabs drives 'em mad.

Yep, that should do it
Such an amazing rig, Scott!

Useless noodling with the new effects

Wouldn't call that 'useless' necessarily. Pretty cool actually. Something whooshy next please. Then something octave-y.

Also octavers usually go early for better tracking, but putting one late in the chain could make for some interest glitch effects.

I did mention around 1000 pages ago that they were a pack of see you next tuesdays, vile human beings.

"Hey Butthead, she said those guys were 'see you next Tuesdays.' I guess they were busy the rest of the week"!

That’s a good point! Just getting a handle on this stuff. I’ll mess with it more tomorrow. Gotta head out to the gig soon

Just don't get crap equipment. Buy good stuff from the jump or you'll be doing it again.

Another option, if you play in places that have a PA and monitors, you can get a DI (ampeg scrdi, GK Plex, sansamp) and just plug right into the PA, no amp needed.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Seems so Though you looked much cooler in the 80’s than I did, as this recent pic of a tv interview I did in the 80’s will attest. I’m in the middle :/

A T Bird in a honky tonk. So far so good

Mate, do us all a favour and get a proper stand. Please.

Think I’m caught up though I may have missed something

Alright, can of worms... opened!

I could go over to the Amps side, but I trust you guys. So here we go. I'm a bedroom player with a Fender Rumble. The thing shakes the entire house, but I know it's a 25 watt combo amp for practicing at home. But, what if I'm starting to think about taking it to the next level and trying to find a local band to play small gigs. What rigs can I start looking at and what price range would be for respectable small venue gigging but not too crazy? I have no clue about heads, amps, whatever, except what I've been reading about so I want to get edu-macated and have the proper gear if and when I choose to take the plunge.

Thanks!

My Rumble is good, but I don't have much else to compare it to. With your suggestions now I have a starting point of what to look for and try out and then I'll be able to compare them. And I'll definitely try out the bigger Rumble models to compare them too. Thanks!

Well, from an uneducated viewpoint.

I wouldn’t discount the Rumbles in the class D arena. They get some love. The cabs as well as the 200 & 500 combos. I’ve had a weather eye out for a Rumble 115 cab to join my little grouping. Don’t seem to come up much; certainly not at my ‘jump point’.

I lot of people love the GKs as well.

That Bassman 300 Neo 610 looks like a ‘dream come true’ setup. There are other alternatives in the Bassman line that may interest. The Bassman 100 is a valve amp and can run at 25w for practice or recording situations. The Bassman 500 is a Bassman valve pre combined with the Rumble 500 Class D power section. (I hope I’m using the correct terminology) in a Bassman style enclosure but lighter weight. Looks good though!
The Neo cabs also come in 115 flavour. So there are other combinations than 300 valve + 610 if the Bassman is a way you’d like to go. I’ve read a user report from a Neo 115 owner saying the Rumble 115 isn’t as good, but not a million miles away from his Neo 115s; but far better on the dollars.

Anyway, I run old stuff cause it’s cheaper and I found stuff I like.

Remember there is likely a different answer for each one of us.

I just paid off my Cataldo...can’t afford one of them fancy guitar stands!

A force to be reckoned with!

Are each amp driving a separate cab, or are they bridged in some way?

THey are cheaper than having to pay for a good neck repair...
