Fender Rumble Club

It isn't normal. You have a noisy pot. This seems to be the #1 complaint of Rumble owners. Try some Detoxit. I think others here have done that. It may be necessary to call Fender and get them to fix it under warranty.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too - one of the other Rumble Combos I owned had a noisy Master Volume pot, whereas not of the pots on my current Rumble 200C are noisy...

So I picked up an svt 2x12 over the weekend, thought just occurred to me that I need to lose the rest of my hearing tonight. 500 combo 2x10 and 2x12 should peel some paint :D

Correct me if I am wrong, but if you plug the 212av (mine is a 4ohm cab) into the 500c, you will be running the combo at less than 4ohms. The 500c is not rated at that level, so the hearing loss may come with a loss of cash from your wallet to replace the 500c.

The 100 is a great amp. I use it for band practice (3 piece in a garage) and for gigs where the venue supplies a sound system. I take it instead of by Bassman 550H and show the soundman were to plug in. I do use a kick back stand so I can hear myself easily. It make a great stage monitor. I played such a gig Saturday and I was running gain and master on 8 using my G&L SB-2T and with my Fender Areodyne, it was gain 11 and master 10.

Cheers for kickback stands. I like 'em 'cause my knees hear worse than my ears:smug:

True, didn't think about that...my Ampeg 15 is 8 ohms...I could always disconnect the 2x10 speakers, one of the things I love about my rumble is the fullness and volume at about 3-4, you don't have to dime this to get a great sound

Abso-freakin'-lutely. I keep seeing those 212av's at decent $ then I remember the resistance thing. The prices haven't been good enough to warrant rewiring the damn thing. I'd really like to have a 212 cab,in fact I've suggested a R212 cab to Fender"We'll take it under advisement" Translation:NO!

I've looked at 212 cabs but they're either too expensive,too heavy or both. I don't NEED one at the volumes we play,but I could get the R200 off the floor whether I plugged the 212 in or not.I know I could get the 210 cab but I want 212's( insert tantrum):banghead:

Good news for those wanting a Fender cover for their Rumble 210 cabinet. It looks like Fender is actually going to sell them. Prior, Sweetwater/Fender was marketing the 500C cover as the cabinet cover. Unfortunately, the hole for the handle was at the top, which didn't work well with side handles. Sweetwater now shows the cover with the "handles" in the right place. After verifying with one of the team at SW that Fender is going to sell a cabinet cover, I ordered one. They're not in stock yet, but when they are... I'm glad I held off when I bought the 500C cover.

Fender is already selling the 210 covers. I know because I received mine a few weeks ago and it has cutouts for the side handles. I also have the Fender cover for my 500C.

Funny, I called Fender a few weeks ago about the 210 covers and they couldn't say when they would be available. Oh well, good to know they do exist and I will be getting one soon. For $20 you can't beat 'em.
