Fender Rumble Club

A little too chilly right now at 18 degrees Fahrenheit, with an expected low of 5.

Murderous!
I kinda hate to tell you but right this very moment it is 75 degrees here in Tucson.

ON TOPIC: I was playing my fretless Carvin 6er through my Rumble 500 the other night and it sounded wonderful. I love how the Rumble allows the unique characteristics of each of my basses to shine through.

Hi Linnin, I was hoping you know something... :(
No, that type of stuff would be a closely held secret. Sometimes secrets are leaked as the manufacturers are getting set up for NAMM. Fender is the world's largest selling manufacturer of guitars and electric bass guitars and amplifiers. Fender Rumble being the world's best selling bass amplifier since 2009. F.M.I.C. is the second largest music company in the world with sales around 3 billion USD. Yamaha is #1 and has been since the 1980's. Their annual sales are roughly 5 billion USD. The world music gear market is basically a 13 billion USD industry in annual sales. The music market itself has been in a steady decline since the 1990's, but seems to have bottomed out. Sales of electric basses & amps continue to drift lower.
 
Maybe fender joins the preamp crowd with the rumble v3 preamp-EQ:)) With gain, 4 band eq (really like the lo-hi mid controls on my 100), OD Channel with drive, blend and level., DI.and Maybe a speakersim/hpf LPF as a bonus also?? could be cool
