Fender Rumble Club

#25,047
Not sure what is going on with the Rumble 112 cabinet.

Sweetwater says it's no longer available and a couple of days ago AMS where I got mine said they only had 2 left. Fender's site still lists them.

May not mean anything but if anybody is on the fence about the 112 cab, now may it be a good time to go ahead and pull the trigger. I have four of them and and very happy with them.

Here is a video comparing one to a higher end cab.

Welcome Rumbler #882. Glad to have you among us. Rumble on!

Sorry for the delay. My wife's funeral was Saturday and I have a lot of family in town. I've not been on TB for a few days. I really do try to be as responsive as possible, but sometimes, things happen.

Uh.... wow. No words can fit this situation. Best I can do is say I am truly, and sincerely sorry for your loss.

If you need to take some time, and hand over Rumble Club business to another member for a while, I am we can find someone to fill in for you for a while...

Do what you gotta do, and let this thing here slide unless it brings you some peace, then by all means dig in as much as you need to.

I'm doing fine, thanks. I'll keep doing it as long as everyone is happy. I try to get on every day, except spotty on weekends, but this was a special occasion. Thanks for the support and the offer.

I just got a rumble 75 in a swapping deal. First impression was maybe i'd use it on some smaller gigs, until I grabbed a hold of it. It actually weighs more than my regular rig (Tecamp puma 900 and a S212 cab). More weight, and a fraction of the power, nope. But on the plus side, the aux input and the wedge shape make it pretty useful for learning songs at home. All in all not a bad little rig. Sounds decent up to about half volume, the overdrive doesn't suck, and the EQ is pretty useful. If it lost 20# on a diet and had an XLR direct out, it could be a more serious contender. I hope it last's better than the most recent fender products I have purchased. There's my two cents.

Had my Rumble 75 a few years and done a couple small gigs with it and its handled them quite well although as you say it is quite heavy for its size and solidly built. I run 5 string basses through it and it does a good job with plenty of oommph. Great for home use and the tilt back feature is great to point the thing towards your head from floor level if desired. Overall I am happy I purchased it and it has been invaluable for home practise with its aux input although I rarely use overdrive, but the EQ section is a great feature and works very well. A few Rumble members here own one on TB and somewhere here in this club a mod was done on a speaker upgrade with pics if you search for it if interested. I have 2 Tuki covers for this amp..one vinyl for indoor use (pictured) the other canvas for travelling.

My heartfelt condolences, Gravedigger Dav. As I attended my cousin's wife's funeral Friday, I recalled his situation. Just a couple years ago he was planning retirement then, before his wife got sick. Now, he says he don't know if he'll retire, or not. Everyone agreed that he shouldn't decide on any such big life changes right now. So, give it some time. Give yourself a break, or two, or several. We're here for you, Rumble Bro.

Bought my Rumble 75 a few years ago just before they were discontinued. Never regretted it. Since then, I sold my big heavy 70's Peavey rig and bought a Rumble 200 and I'm very happy with both Rumbles. One stays home and one stays at practice--I trade them out every once in awhile.
