A simple bass head for under $400. And a good sounding bass cab that won't break my weak-ass back.

Thanks! Geez, that Fender Rumble 100 bass combo only weighs 22 lbs! Do you think it sounds any good? I watched a video but it's just hard to believe it would be loud or beefy enough. But, I'm admittedly relatively new to bass amps. I was avoiding combos because of the weight/bulkiness factor. Hard to carry up stairs and such. But 22 lbs is sweet.

Why, specifically, if you don't mind, won't I like the rumble? Not loud enough for a rock band?I will take your advice regarding talkbass. I assume the info there is sketchy?

I assume the info there is sketchy?There's good information but it'll get obscured by unpractical suggestions for people that play real mu sicIt might keep up, but barely, and there will be some kind of depth to it that you'll find yourself wanting. Go play it though should be easy to find. The 400rb will do you just fine for your whole life, even if you ever buy something better it'll be the best backup friend you could ask for. There were two at GC here for less than $200 last time I wentI'm in Canada and every where I look online they are at least $600 for the head. But that's on reverb.com, etc. Maybe a used one.

Man, I am having trouble finding a GK 400 rb head or combo anywhere! They seem to be sold out everywhere I look.I'm open to anything though. I would prefer a head and separate cab set up just for ease of transport. Gallien Kruger sounds nicer than I thought it would. Just a good, honest bass sound. That's all I want. Don't want a hundred knobs.

Would this (at 200 watts) be loud enough for a rock band practice?

Yeah, you can. I just wanted something new because I'm dumb.-just trying to understand how the power requirements for bass amps work so I can make a good decision. What do you all think of this info regarding power and volume? Accurate?https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/why-a ... itar-amps/
