Fender Rumble Club

[Joe Ty]

I play my Ibanez SR30th Anniversary 4-string through my Rumble 200 (also run through a Vox Stomplab II bass pedal). I run my PRS SE24, through the electric guitar Vox Stompab into the Rumble 200. Great amp, been nothing but happy with it. I even bought Rumble 25 for the front room and jam sessions. Oh yeah, can I have a number?

Is that the new Ibby with the F-hole? How's it working out for you?

Had a crazy weekend---broke my fretless bass.

Kid crushed a cone on my 500C.

Played Bongo in place of fretless. Discovered I need a fretless that sounds like a jazz bass in the lows but sounds like a bongo in the highs.

Fixed fretless last night and confirmed I need a jazz fretless that sounds like the bongo in the high end.

Crushed cone doesn't sound different--any ideas? Vacuum didn't work.

Welcome Rumbler #825. Glad you're enjoying that 200. Rumble on!

Wow, bad weekend. Would love to hear the details. What kind of gig were you playing?
Can't help you on the crushed cone, hopefully someone else can.

Ugh... I hear about this all the time. I never see how audience gets close enough to the backline to do damage. Never happens at any of my shows...

I will post a pic tomorrow. It is about 2/3rds crushed. Oddly it doesn't sound different. I tried a shop vac--no success. I took the speaker out--only to find it is sealed.

From your description, a recone is advisable. Find an authorized recone shop from Eminence.

What effect should it have on the sound?

Do you mean the dust cover? That little dome shaped thing that covers the end of the voice coil?

Yes--the dome got crushed. Not a big deal?

If not a big deal my defense to justifiable homocide just got very weak.

Nope, as Gravedigger Dav said: it's just a dust cover, not an essential part of the speaker or important to the sound.
Just to make it look nice.

Does this mean I have to plead guilty to murder?????

My parole officer is going to be pissed. I just got out of the half way house.

Most likely, sorry I messed up your homocide plans.
However, you seem smart enough to come up with an alternative 'cunning plan'...

 

[Steadfast]

Well--since I may not be a free man....what do you all think about a 1990 Pedulla fretless II?


...in solid black to match the black stripes on my prison garb.

Burn It.

BTW: I can send you a replacement part, no problem.
But it most likely will arrive out off shape when I send it by mail and the envelope gets stamped by the Dutch mail offices...
