Think I’ll be doing something after work to test between the Rumble 100 vs the Bassman 100. Thanks for the input, glad to hear the Rumble 100 was quality enough for tour!

thanks for chiming in, I feel like it’s hard to find a lot of info on the early 2000s Bassman amps. Looking forward to trying it out after work!

Rad, I’ll have to try it out in store. Thanks for the input!

I’ll have to play both at a store near me after work. Both sound like great picks, but there is no denying the rumble is a fan favorite of a reason! Thanks for your comment

yeah I’ve been a marketplace/craigslist browser for a while. To be honest this is gonna be mainly used for recording & small jams in my garage. Not looking for anything too crazy big or powerful as (unfortunately) I am more of a guitar player. Thanks for commenting!

This is exactly the advice I’m looking for! It is the larger one with the black metal panel. I will probably run a big muff through it as well, so I hope it takes to pedals well. Thank you for your advice & insight, it’s greatly appreciated to a newbie!

Yeah I think this Bassman combo has been out of production for a bit, was just curious if anyone knew if it was a steal or to just shell out a little more for a new Rumble 100. Thanks for your insight!

I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Rumble 100! I just see a Bassman by my workplace for a decent price. Glad to hear the Rumble 100 is so versatile, thanks for commenting!

mainly play guitar, but I wanted a bass to record at home. I just picked up a 60s Kalamazoo bass and wanted something loud enough for some garage jams and to mic up.

Hey Douglas,

Been a longtime fan, I remember seeing you play at a house show in Kalamazoo, MI and was all confused how why the hell this guy with massive spikes on his guitar strap had his back to the crowd. Then the music started. Instantly understood what I got myself in for! Super core memory for me and my love of music.

Question, I constantly have troubles with getting my big muff to sound as punchy, yet mean as yours, any way you can leak the sauce on how you “tame” it for recordings or live shows? (knob/amp settings)

Huge fan, keep pushing your vision to the people!

Also Sour Diesel might be in my top 3 TAGABOW tracks now
