Dealbreaker or reparable?

[S-Bigbottom]

Holy caster installation failure!

They got one of the brackets to hold.

Should this scare me off of this Rumble 350 for $219, assuming it’s otherwise intact?

broken beyond repair

The thing that's worth something with that cabinet is (possibly) the story. Unfortunately, it's likely it was just the product of a kid that didn't give a rip about his piece of gear, and treated it like crap.

However, there is the possibility that, during load out, while the cabinet was on it side, gunfire erupted, and the cabinet saved someone's life.

That's been used as a buoy, not an amp. if it actually works, it's worth about $10

This is a joke, right?

The high quality particle board cabinet just needs some sawdust and wood glue and it will be good as new.

 

[yodedude2]

here's my guess...it was stored in an area where a pipe broke above...the floor above flooded and gave way, and something heavy fell on top of the amp. it then sat in a foot of water for a few days/weeks/months and was eventually removed and taken to the store.

220 USD for a thing that was very clearly ridden hard and hung up wet? I mean, anything is fixable if you have the time I guess. 220 is a bit much IMO though.

That's from the discontinued Fender Crumble Series. I had the 150. Every time I played a low F# sawdust farted out the port.

 

[Peteyboy]

Crumble Series! Made of Grade A Canadian Beaver-board! I do have questions about that Dadaist bass on the left...

 

[gln1955]

It would be a perfect amp for this bass.

What are the actual savings? It's not like it's a really cool vintage rig that needs refurbishing!
reminds of this....

DEALBREAKER!!!
What would you actually be saving, really?

 

[Double E]

These things can sell for around $200-$250 in good shape... it's bewildering that this store is asking that much for an item which is clearly heavily compromised.

 

[Jim Carr]

I'm saddened to learn the rumble amp's cabinets are made from particle board. Just like Berhinger, they melt.
Another reason NOT to recommend them.
I'm talking to you, almost everybody on Talkbass!

"I do have questions about that Dadaist bass on the left"
It's a homeade concoction of mine. I swiped the basic shape from a Klein guitar I saw that looked comfy. I've built a few different basses and guitars that nobody else would want.

 

[cnltb]

Why would you even entertain this for a second?

You've got a great sense of humerus. Keep it at arms length!

 

[abarson]

Here’s a link to the sale. It’s at a Music Go Round. I tried haggling on a $40 fuzz pedal that needed some repair once, and they wouldn’t budge, so I’m not going to bother with the amp.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Oh, wait! You were seriously considering it?!?
And a store is trying to pass this off as a legitimate piece of equipment?
