    Fender Rumble Club

    I gave my Rumble V3 200 Combo a makeover today. Just thumb pinned the material into the inside of the screen. Remove the pins, and the material comes off and it looks like new again.

    Any of you refuse to let others use your gear?

    As a relatively new player with a regular monthly gig, I try to be ultra prepared. Backup strings, tuner, batteries and cables, etc.. I only have one bass at the moment but will be picking up a backup asap. I play with a combo, but don't take my backup because I can plug into the main.. I'm a...

    Fender Rumble Club

    I've had my Rumble V3 200 Combo now for about a week. Wow. Love it. I'm not a technical expert on these things, but I can give you my take. The construction seems solid. It's about half the weight of the Rumble 150 (which I own and love) and has a top-side handle which makes this thing SUPER...

    My Rumble 200 combo arrives Tuesday. My Rumble 150 looks jealous.

    New Fender Rumble Combo amps - NAMM 2014

    Linnin, likely one at home and one at the rehearsal garage. What's the preferred method of running two combos together?

    New Fender Rumble Combo amps - NAMM 2014

    I ordered my Rumble 200 v3 Combo yesterday. I am actually ordering this solely on the great experience I have had with my Rumble 150. The lighter weight and speaker cab support will likely put the 150 on the back burner. The classic look doesn't hurt either.

    Fender Dimension Bass Club

    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    jd56Hawk - I put Rotosound Tru Bass 88's on my buddies Dean A/E, plugged it into his Rumble 150, dialed down the mids and highs, put a bit of carpet padding under the strings at the bridge.....and presto - upright sounds were very convincing. I actually even played it upright when it just...

    New Gear, Newbie - what mistakes should I avoid?

    @zortation I live in an area with access to retail and private luthiers, I'll probably go ahead and have them do this. Gonna have one walk me through setup if possible. A little too new to know everything to consider... Haji, as a photographer with several bodies and lenses, I can assure you I...
