    Fender rumble 800 stage, again...

    I have had the Stage 800 since I bought it new in 2018. I use it in group situations with a drummer, 2 guitarists and keys, headroom is not an issue. I have a 15” ext cab but rarely use it. You have to play...

    Fender rumble stage 800, vs GK mb115, vs Boss katana 210B

    I disagree, my Stage 800 has been moved and knocked around quite a bit and is very robust.

    Fender rumble stage 800, vs GK mb115, vs Boss katana 210B

    I’ve had the Stage 800 for 6 years and it has kept up with any drummer I have played with, hard hitting or otherwise. Stage 800 is a 210 configuration. It is a modelling amp so you can get many different tones along with all of the effects. It will also take more than one extension cab if that’s...

    Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800

    I have owned a Stage 800 since 2018 and it is starting to act up. It has the latest firmware. On occasion, my amp has lost all sound, the screen on top of the amp freezes and the pedal will not work no matter what button is pressed.Rebooting the amp makes everything work again. I have sent an...

    Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800

    Hey, thanks for the suggestions! Amp has plenty of ventilation so I don’t think that is the issue but great thought. I was unable to update the amp as it can’t seem to find the Wifi network at our jam space. I know the modem frequency changed from 2.4 to 5Ghz so maybe that is why the amp can’t...

    Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800

    Thanks gents for the replies, I knew I could count on you G-dog! Thanks also to LeMaartien for the reply. I had read about the Wi-Fi issue before but I forgot all about it of course. I will update the amp next time I jam and then turn it off! The FX jack issue I did not know about and I will try...

    Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800

    My 5 year old Stage 800 has mysteriously cut out (no volume at all) the last 2 jams I attended. I would be playing and then no sound for a couple of seconds and then it would come back. I tried changing cords but it still cut out. The amp stays in a locker at the jam space. I haven’t updated the...

    Squier 40th Aniv P Bass

    I have the black and gold one. Plays great, no sharp fret ends. I’ll be keeping it stock.

    How many have had amps over 10 years and still use them?

    I still use my late 70’s H&H IC100L and a 15” cube cab occasionally at a jam studio. I used it yesterday and it still sounds great. I have had this amp since 1981, looks great in the dark! I used to have 2 of the cube cabs but sadly sold one many years ago. Even though it’s only 80 watts with...

    How many have had amps over 10 years and still use them?

    I still have and use occasionally the first amp I bought in 1981. The H&H IC100L still works great through a 15” cab and modern Neo speaker.

    Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800

    I have had my Stage 800 since new in 2018 and I have not run into any driver issues, always sounds great! I jam on a regular basis with other folks so it gets used a lot.

    I committed the mortal sin of Bass...

    I am in Toronto so I bought it from Long and Mcquade but I do think it was a limited run. This beast is heavier than my Jazz bass!!

    Yeah, I bought one new about a month ago. Great guitar but HEAVY.

    Fender Rumble Club

    i’ve never had the volume past half. Last night, I had it at about 10 o’clock on the master and that was plenty with drums and 2 guitars. I really don’t like playing too loud anymore and I always wear earplugs now, getting old!!

    Fender Rumble Club

    Y I have been able to jam with other people in a rehearsal studio sort of thing for the last couple of months and it has been so soul satisfying! I like the SVT too but I keep coming back to preset 21, Fat Bassman. I also added a flanger and OD to the preset.The Stage 800 sounds great with my...
