    Fender Bassman 500 Head

    My Rumble 115 v3 is pretty lightweight. I can throw that in the car using one arm. My Rumble 410 v3 is pretty heavy by comparison. I haven't used the Neos, maybe a 410 Neo weighs in around the same as a 115 Rumble. Finally jammed with my drummer a few days ago and the Bassman 500 head was as...

    Fender Bassman 500 Head

    Thanks rodl2005. According to the Bassman 500 manual, if the Vintage channel is fine but the Overdrive channel is not working unless Blend is at 1 or more, then the V2 tube might be bad. This makes me pretty sure that V1 is Vintage and V2 is Overdrive. I should have a google at the Super, as it...

    Fender Bassman 500 Head

    I've ordered a couple of new preamp tubes for my 500 head. Still getting sporadic minor volume fluctuations at low levels. Could be a connector/pin issue, but if I'm pulling them out to clean them then I may as well replace them. I bought it secondhand, so who knows what it's been through. The...

    Fender Bassman 500 Head

    Hi jdubbass38. It's a 115v3 sitting under a 410v3. I really haven't had a chance to crank it up yet. I'll be jamming over the holidays, and I plan on trying it with the 115 on the bottom, and then on the top, just to hear what sounds best. I liked the idea of the 115 and 410, as I can vary it...

    Amp watts:Cab watts ratio

    Cheers for the info BadExample. The whole reason I'm moving to a bigger setup is that I was pushing my 200 watt Ampeg too hard in band situations. 8 or 9 on the dial, and I was only just in the mix. I'm hoping that with the 500 watter, I won't need to dial it past 6 or 7 max. The Ampeg only has...

    Amp watts:Cab watts ratio

    Hi Sartori. I've read a few TB posts about the 410/115 stack, pro and con. I would've liked a Rumble 210 cab, but the dimensions are different to my Rumble 410 and I think it's only around 200/250 watts. I didn't particularly want another 410. I kind of like the idea of a big 15" cone blasting...

    Amp watts:Cab watts ratio

    Thanks revroy. That was the info I needed. :)

    Amp watts:Cab watts ratio

    Okay. So I'm going to risk looking like a douche here and ask a question that's already been asked. If I'm running 2 cabs off of 1 head, does it split the wattage? A 500 watt head, running a 500 watt 410 cab, plus a 350 watt 115 cab. Is each cab receiving 500 watts, or is each cab receiving 250...

    Fender Bassman 500 Head

    Haha! Yeah, Russia seems to be the tube capital of the world. I just had a 30 minute jam on my rig with the new speaker cable, and NO volume fluctuations at all. So I'm pretty happy about that!!! I guess the other cable couldn't handle the load or something. I'll probably still get new tubes anyway.

    Fender Bassman 500 Head

    Hey rodl2005. Yeah, I've been doing a bit of googling around and found a few 12ax7's not too far from me. I just got a new Klotz speaker lead with Neutrik connectors, so if that doesn't fix the problem then I'll try some new tubes. I'm leaning towards a couple of Electro Harmonix ones, but...

    Fender Bassman 500 Head

    Cheers Down_Low. Mine was secondhand and didn't come with the Speakon cable. I'm using a flimsy cheap one I had lying around. I'll try changing that. Did you get another Speakon, or a normal jack?

    Fender Bassman 500 Head

    My new to me (it's secondhand) Bassman 500 head arrived yesterday. After an initial freak out due to lower than expected volume (I only got to play with it for 15 minutes before I went to work), I have now dialed in the settings better and it's definitely going to be very loud. I noticed...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Cool. Thanks for the info Linnin. My Ampeg Micro VR and SVT210AV with Eminence speakers are made in China and it's a mad little rig. I've had that thing for 5+ years and jammed 2 or 3 times a week with it and it's still going strong. I just have a love for the Mexican Fender gear!!;)

    Fender Rumble Club

    I have the final pieces of my dream rig arriving this week!! A Bassman 500 head, and a Rumble 115 V3 cab. To go with the Rumble 410 V3 cab I already have. I've noticed the 410 V3 and Bassman head are made in Mexico, but pictures I've seen of several 115's all say made in China or made in...
