Hi guys! Slightly new to the bass family. Currently I'm looking for an amplifier upgrade; both for studio use and live use. Unfortunately, I have a very strict budget of around 900 USD (my budget is a maximum of 50,000 Philippine Pesos) and I have considered either getting a single 500W 2x10" Combo Bass Amplifier (such as Ampeg RB210, Hartke HD500, Fender Rumble 500, etc.) for live use (as I currently have an Orange Crush Bass 50 for studio use) or sell the Orange, getting a single Fender Rumble 200 1x15" Combo Amplifier for studio use AND getting a Fender Rumble 115 extension cabinet for live use. Fishing for a good deal on the second hand market is very hard in my country, so I can only rely on brand-new items sold on stores. As I have said, I am fairly new to the bass community. My concern is if the Rumble 200 Combo + Rumble 115 Extension would be loud enough for medium-sized to fairly large-sized venues, as I fear that the 200W capacity wouldn't be enough to push through a loud audience. Would a 500W 2x10" combo be louder and overall better for live use? THANK YOU EVERYONE!
