I tried the other way(through the bass input). Lost its magic because everything isn't perfectly balanced or in phase no matter how carefully I tweaked the knobs. Lol

Sometimes it's best to go in through the back door.
That used to be illegal in Virginia.
Well, I'm wondering if they maybe adding another color to the Classic Series or do something to the Standard basses. I know....this is a rumble thread. Sorry
We'll know for sure in three more days! Fender's affordable made in Ensenada, Mexico standard's are well established on the world music market. Offering a new/different color here and there is likely. The same could be said of the value priced Squiers. The serious profit and professional panache is in the various American made and Custom Shop instruments. Many signature instruments are made in Ensenada as well as most of the very lucrative all tube amplifiers to include the Bassman Pro speaker cabinets. The Rumble 410 cabinet is also made in Ensenada.Well, I'm wondering if they maybe adding another color to the Classic Series or do something to the Standard basses. I know....this is a rumble thread.

Resistance is Futile. The Michael Bump (@Bluzman99) designed V-Mod pickups are killer. I love my American Professional Precision. It's perfect as is, and I won't change anything but the strings.
Thanks, Linnin. Do you or Bluzman99 have any links to the V-Mod pickups? Would like some info...
At the moment the only way to get them is to buy a Fender American Professional Precision or Jazz bass. They are brilliant in design as they combine AlNiCo II magnets on the bass side, and AlNiCo V magnets on the treble side of the pickup. These are the first pickups that I am aware of that have a mixed magnet design.
Invalid Link Removed
" Shaw experimented with various types of Invalid Link Removed, even putting different strength magnets in the same pickup. The final solution was a mix of alnico II, III and V in the Stratocaster and Telecaster models. That mixed-magnet concept continued to the Invalid Link Removed and Invalid Link Removed models, with those pickups being refined and completed by engineer Michael Bump."

Two more days 'til NAMM 
and the all new Fender Rumble 800 + hopefully one other low wattage model. drool
there will be 40 watt studio model too. Have received emails as such from UK dealers.
Any chance of new speaker cabs? As someone pointed out the other day, they will need something that can pair up with the 800.Very Subtle @JACink

Modeling! USB output! Now just hope they kept the winning design of the Rumble cabs and didn't mess up the cabinetry like they did with the Mustang GT40 guitar combo.
It is! Just like the Bronco 40 and early Mustang amps + Fender Fuse software. You get firmware updates as needed plus deep tweaking ability and downloads of others settings if so desired. I always wanted a Bronco 40 but never bought one. I am sure my Rumble 75 is going to be traded in on a new Fender Rumble Studio 40!Rumble + Mustang sounds like a fine fine way to go.
