So how did it sound?

So how did you find it?

I have not had seperates for years,after a long lay off of about 20 years,I got back in to playing,buying a 1 x 15 Trace Elliot combo. Big sound,300 watts,used it at jam nights and gigs. Too bloody heavy,but what a sound. Moved it on bought the TC Electronic combo,1 x 15,again good sound,in fact there is one in the pub we rehearse,and I like the sound of that.But I have tried for 2 years with the Fender Rumble,venues large and small,never really getting the sound I want. It tends to be over loud without depth. Very,very loud!! When adding the cab,it totally changed the sound,with all the eq set flat,ie in the middle. But an issue with the PA and sound,ment I had no time the other night to do anything about my sound. Another gig this weekend,which will tell me which way I need to go.

I used that set up at the gig on Saturday. First time since owning the Rumble that I have actually felt the bass on stage. Don't get me wrong,you can certainly hear the Rumble 500,in fact I get told to turn down all the time! Just can't seem to find the sound that suits me. Adding the Warefdale cab made a differance,but I still have to fiddle about with the tone on the Fender a bit,it was a bit.....errm,bassy!!

That was my fault.....lol

It won't go there,due to the shape of the grill.Thought that myself! Those corners are just gaps.

Feet repositioned and badge moved! Will put back later when I decide what I am doing..

It's here and hooked up to my Fender Rumble 500.Even comes with a short jack to jack lead. Sounds loud and clear. Plenty of depth, but that's the cab now putting out 500 Watts with the extension speaker. Will try it out this weekend, but I think I will get hold of the 2 x 10 cab and start looking at bass heads. Decent finish on cab, as others have said. I might remove the rubber feet and place them on the side of cab whilst I use with the Fender.

Didn't move quick enough and lost out on the speaker/amp deal. Hopefully they will get the orange amp back in at that price. Just waiting on my 1 x15 to be delivered,it's on the van!!. I have a Fender Rumble 500 combo. Even without an extension speaker,it's pretty loud! That seems to be the trouble. I struggle at times to get a proper bass tone. It always seems to lack depth. Trying out the 1 x 15 to see if it makes a differance. After reading about folk getting hold of the 2 x10 cab and amp has made me want to try something different,so if it works out,I may get rid of the combo,buy an amp and the seperates,maybe upgrading to better speakers at some point. We'll see!!

Lol..no,I was talking about the combo. As I said,loud enough,thats for sure,but I need a bit more bottom end,so will see how this 1 x 15 works out.

The cab itself is pretty decent,but at certain gigs I could do with a bit more bottom end. It's a loud enough wee cab and the band do a mixture of small to medium sized venues,with the bigger ones either using venue PA and bass gear or DI the combo through PA.

Just ordered a 1 x15 cab to sit under my Fender Rumble 500 combo. Will let you know how it goes!

That's what happens when you don't play Beatles songs in The cavern..

Also told him he may want to change the price....

Spoke to the lad via message,he said he bought it off e bay as Fender,Said he has changed it now. I did tell him to join here or maybe a facebook forum and ask before he bought if he wasnt sure. I don't suppose we all started as experts lol.

Reported to e bay

Aready reported 2 day's ago and pointed out to the seller what it was. Con man!

Made in Indonesia,Squier Standard p bass.

The nut width was,if I remember fairly slim.Not as slim as a jazz.Never got round to doing the bass up. I was going to uprate the pickups,maybe change the neck for a Mighty Mite. Played it a few times,but as I had a few others,including a Rickenbacker,it just never got gigged. I ended up selling it to a guy in Edinburgh who bought it for his wife who was wanting to learn bass. Thoughts on it? Yes well made,good looking,sounded fine,I had it at a band practise. Worth buying? Deffo...go for it!
