I played through one of these at a gig on Saturday night beside a drummer who was beating the life out of his kit.
Had the chance to compare the 500 watt rumble combo (280watts without extension cab) to a TC electronic 250watt combo alongside it and there was a really huge surprising difference in the tone ,volume, aggression, sheer floor shaking sound; in fact everything.
No competition and I'm now the proud owner of the very light and aesthetically pleasing aforementioned 500 watt beast.
On leaving the gig I had my bass in a gig bag slung over my back, the rumble 500 watt combo easily in one hand and the cable and pedal case in the other. One easy lift and walk to the car. Bass playing as it should be.
I don't think I will need another cab for the moment but for the pure look of the vintage finish I might just have to.
Go buy one. Now.. Go on.....
