    Cool! If yours are the same correct Fender part# 0054419049, then that's what I needed to hear. According to descriptions of that part#, it said... "Fits standard "D" Shaft potentiometers (with flat portion of "D" shaft facing 12 O'clock position when potentiometer is turned down to minimal...

    (reposted Kevin's pic for reference) I've been thinking of replacing the original Rumble knobs because I also like that Blackface look ...but in looking at the suggested knobs (Fender p/n #0054419049) meant for the "D" shaft makes me wonder. Did the knobs line up correctly "as is" or did you...

    So all those things we think make a bass sound different? Maybe not?

    Referring to an earlier quote... "Yes, we're all well aware that playing Stevie Ray Vaughan's rig won't make us sound like him." Yet, would anyone consider that if Stevie Ray Vaughan picked up someone elses gear, would it likely still sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan? If nothing else, wouldn't...

    Thanks for that clarification, G-Dog! So, under ideal conditions, if you first set your preferred EQ set on the R200 (or R100, etc), Then set the EQ on the R40 (or R25 or R15 for that matters) such that it produces an equally preferred sound, along with the ideal input gain, you should now be...

    So, you're effectively playing through the R200 and also sending the preamp out of the R200 through the R40 which is another preamp + the rest of the audio chain? Doesn't that kinda screw up the sound of the R40? ...or can you just leave the EQ Flat on the R40 and make sure you're not...

    I'm fairly new here because I just recently shifted my world from guitar to the bass world! I have my recently aquired Rumble 100 and I was so glad I went that route because the R40 doesnt have the effects loop jacks. That being the case, how did you "daisey chain your R40 into the R200" with...

    I found it amazing that the used market is full of Rumble25's for $125 (almost new price?) and the 40's, if I found one, was more like $250! So when this one popped up, I jumped on it! Only thing it had was a broken logo on the grille so I had a classic metal one to replace it! Did I qualify...

    Just spent the better part of the last few weeks literaly reading this whole string of Rumble posts! Long time guitar player! When I was younger I had my share of groups... nothing big but we had our times doing local gigs, weddings, or whatever oportunities popped up. Just retired before all...
