Title: GS Mini Bass amplification
Post by: Darren66 on July 25, 2021, 10:38:19 AM

Hi. I have recently bought a GS Mini Bass and was wondering if anyone on the forum who owns one could let me know what type of amplification they use with it.
Some people have told me it will work fine with an acoustic guitar amp, while others have said an electric bass amp would be better. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

My husband bought a Fender Rumble 15 that he uses with his GSmini bass. He also has a Rumble 100, but he primarily uses that with his Fender Jazz Bass. He bought the GSmini bass for travel and practice, so the 15 works well for him.

I love mine and have played though the Rumble 40 recommended above and it's a winning combo for your purposes.

I don't own one but have played a GS Mini bass on several occasions, including at Road Shows (remember those?).  The Mini bass is nice, but my bass needs are already covered.  What I use as an amp for electric bass and for my Kala U-Bass is my old Peavey KB-60, a 60-watt keyboard amp.  It has served well -- although intermittently -- as a bass amp and a portable PA for many years.  Pretty bulky and heavy (that's why they invented hand trucks and mover's dollies) but that 15" cone performs pretty well.  I actually bought it to test walls for STC / sound ratings years ago.  I'm sure there are better choices these days, but you dance with the one who brought you.
