Thanks, but I do use (and dig) the OD. I mute with my tuner, but there are gigs where I use my clip on tuner and just the amp.

That's why I have a Rumble Studio 40 to go with the GR Bass 500+112. The 40 won't get me in serious trouble with my neighbors.I only play at home in a condo. 800W is a lot
Thanks-it may come to this, but it didn't use to rattle so I am hoping there are screws I missed. Further investigation needed. With IEM's and the DI I don't really hear it, but feel it. Still...I hate buzzing/rattles.

800c alone are 400 watts. She has selectable lower watts to 100. No problem for condo use. You also can plug in headphones on it for silent room practice.I only play at home in a condo. 800W is a lot
Without lot spend on headphones, I use Yamaha HPH100. One of the sounding low price headphone in the market.
I used my Fender Rumble 800 for the first time in a live setting at a local bar along with my Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig v2. No DI or miked up amp, just the amp, Fly Rig, my band and the bar. And I was impressed with its fullness and volume. I've owned this amp since they came out but never had a chance to really test it in a band setting.

I am thrilled with my new Fender Rumble 800 combo and can’t wait to put it through all its paces in a live situation in a couple of weeks.
The only issue I’ve had was with some buzzing coming from the top 10” speaker when playing an F# anywhere on the fretboard (at all volumes). After a bunch of research, I could not find much information about this condition, so I ended up carefully removing the speaker and inspected the interior of the cabinet for loose wires, etc.. I didn’t see anything obvious so I reinstalled the speaker and the buzzing is gone! Not sure what I actually did to “fix it”, but it did..
Wondering if anyone else has had this issue?

See this thread - not the FR800 but my bassman 410 has the same issues: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/bassman-410-neo-normal-not-normal.1664979/#post-28844029
And - by the sounds of it, with the exact same frequency (F / # etc.). No fix as of yet but will likely just live with it; I am running the 800 hybrid bassman head with it
You probably tightened a loose screw, dc!
Come tell the Rumblers at the TB Fender Rumble Club about it and get your free membership with keys to lotsa Rumbling information!
I assume you've tried lightly tightening the speaker screws, right, bons? Come tell the other Bassmen at the TB https://www.talkbass.com/threads/bassman-410-neo-normal-not-normal.1664979/#post-28844029 about it and get your free membership there.
Initially I did try to just tighten the screws, but it did not solve the problem. I was also ready to add extra dampening material around the speaker cut out but luckily didn’t need to..
I’m just happy that the buzzing is gone… it was quite distracting.. lol..

Something similar happened to me... I started noticing that when I played in the room where I practice with the Rumble Stage 800, the G# note played on the E or A strings came with a greater amplification than the other notes. I thought, initially, that it was a resonance in the Fender Jazz. Then I tried other instruments and the phenomenon repeated itself... I also tried playing with the amplifier turned off and discovered that this resonance did not exist in the instruments. So I thought the resonance might be in the amplifier cabinet... but then I generated that same G# note with a score editing software through the sound system where I listen to music and found that the resonance was also there... finally, I realized that it is a resonance of the room where I practice and that it has nothing to do with the instrument or the amplifier.
This question might already be answered in the 25 pages here haha, but who's got time for that?
I have the rumble 500 and the master knob alters di output. Is the master knob completely separate from the gain and di output on the 800? I really like being able to set my gain and then move the master without worrying about how it's affecting the house or monitor mixes. This really bugged me on the 500 combo.
The best is turning the master all the way down and realizing that the engineer has no bass in the house pa, because your volume is so loud

Yes, the Rumble 800 changes this. The master volume is after the DI out.This question might already be answered in the 25 pages here haha, but who's got time for that?

And the Gain of neither the Rumble 500 combo nor the 800 affects the volume directly.

Is it make sense the 880c sound cleaner because the Gain design ?
I don't see any difference in Gain design from the descriptions posted above. Must be something else. Maybe the Neo speakers versus the ceramic speakers?
