low sales the American had the advantage of being active or passive. Plus had separate active and passive controls. It was on the expensive side. I happen to like the Jaguar body style.

I connect my Tone Hammer DI through my Rumble effects loop and I have not experienced the same issue.....it has the same volume and headroom available as the onboard preamp.
I checked out your owner's manual (maybe you should do the same) and the output is specifically made to be input into the front end/pre amp or another pedal etc. You need to use the FX send output jack into Your Fender Rumble's FX return jack and all will be copacetic. There is nothing wrong with your Fender Rumble. It is operating as designed. Try that and I'm sure you'll be buying a new roof.
C'mon now, real men don't read owner's manuals. Pfffffft
It went the way of the Roscoe Beck and some other Fender models that are demanding high used prices today.
But we don't sell our much beloved Fenders now do we? No we don't.
And its competition is made by the same company and are two of the most iconic basses of all time.
I do like mine tho.
Probably got in the habit of carrying an identical backup when he played through Ampegs or Marshalls.
mmmm, . . . maybe 'cause you haven't found The Fender Jaguar Club here on TB?
Almost 150 members, so not the biggest TB club, but a lively and interesting group,, nonetheless.
.
Neck dive? Which model did you find that on? MIA? MIM? Short scale? ???
Certainly not a bit on my CIJ model.
And, no, the bridge cover is not there to balance against any neck dive. It's purely aesthetic. If I felt like I had to change strings more often,, then it probably wouldn't be there. My P-bass Special also has a (smaller) bridge cover.

All Jags neck dive because of the short horn. Of course, neck dive is very dependent on your body and the length of strap you’re comfortable with. It’s subjective of course.
Uh, no. Neck dive is a balance thing that can be objectively measured by hanging the strap over a peg, if need be. And the Jaguar's lack of a short horn, on the neck side, and additional offset body area, on the bridge side, would more likely contribute to neck rise!

Unless you play bass with it hanging from a peg then no.
I really don’t think it’s productive to have this argument. They neck dive on me and they don’t for you, so much the better for you.
That won’t work. FX send on Plex is pre master vol and FX return on Rumble is post everything - going into the FX return, the gain, EQ, and master have no affect. Look at the block diagram in the Rumble manual.
The Rumble manual says the FX return is 22k ohm and is balanced. The Plex’s output is also balanced, but I’m not sure what the impedance is. If it’s very high, it could be a mismatch causing the issue. Typically you’d want the the return to be about 10 times higher than the send - the Rumble’s send is 1k. I’m going to try using a TRS cable and see if that makes a difference.
