Fender Rumble
Topic: Music
Last week my practice bass amp combo bit the dust. It was a Crate BX-15, 8 inch speaker. This was the only amp that I had and I was long overdue for a "legit" amp anyways. I did some shopping around for a new one, and ended up going to Guitar Center in Rockville.
I had to drive out after work, and if you've ever driven the beltway or Rockville pike during rush hour, you'll know what kind of nightmare it was. It took me nearly an hour and half to get there. Having said that, playing around on expensive guitars is a great way to relieve stress! I had a great time shopping for a new amp, and I ended up buying one there.
The Fender Rumble 100. 100 watts, 15" speaker, this puppy is suh-weet!!! I'm a novice bass player, but I have a fairly good ear from years as a musician and I like the way this amp sounds. Not to mention the power. Oh yeah, lots of power. I play a five-string and it sounds good on low B as well. Awesome. I'll have to post a picture sometime of it and my bass, a Hamer 5-string. I'm convinced this amp got me the best bang for my buck.
There's only one problem. The dang thing weighs a ton, and I live on the third floor of an apartment building that doesn't have an elevator. And I go out for rehearsal at least once a week. Oh well, guess I'll just have to start working out.

I have no idea what you're talking about here...
I just saw you're giving away gmail accounts. they want me to do that too, first it was 6, now it's 50!
maybe if I keep reading you'll have written something I actually understand... expect more comments!
You try lugging around a 60lbs. amp on the subway! I need to invest in a dolly or some kind of wheels. Terrapin Trader, here I come.
This is goofy! :-) I like it. so about that amp, is the story to-be continued? or I'm just very clueless on how to scroll down on the log? So you get to play a bass, when do I get to start playing on a certain old piano?
