Reddit mentions of Fender Rumble 200 v3 Bass Combo Amplifier

I own four amp/cabs sets. Different prices and different purposes.

1. The right amp to fill a venue totally depends on the kind of music. 50W single 12" will fill a pub for Jazz. For Rock or metal you're gonna want 200-300W and a 15" or pair of 10".
   
   
2. BUT... you only need 100W for foldback, if you're playing with a PA and a sound engineer. :)
   
   Assuming that you are playing rock covers, in a medium sized pub, and you need to create all your own sound (no PA) then you probably want 200-300W. You could get away with less, but you don't want to be overworking your amp.
   
   For that kind of wattage, you can find combos which are perfectly good. They are a) cheaper, b) easier to move, c) well-matched, d) less likely for your head to get stolen during the set break.
   
   You have HEAPS of choices in the £500 range. I own one of these:

  ...does the job just fine. Just light enough to lug from car to stage without a trolley. But it's really boring. No character in the sound.
  
  I'm really tempted to get one of these AMPEG combos.

  ...that's the largest combo they make. I bought the little baby brother BA-108 as a home, quiet practice amp, and I LOVE it. Love the sound of the 108, and it's crazy loud for the size. I'm so tempted to ditch my Ibanez and buy an AMPEG instead as my pub-gigging amp.
  
  Fender is super solid for bass. Rumble has decades of pedigree.
