Fender Rumble Club

[GonePlaid]

The old 150 watt ones were probably full 150 ? But i would guess the new one at 140 ish wouldn't make it much quieter.

I have a 112 extension for the R200c which I almost took today just to set the 200 on-not plugged in, but close to ear level. I didn't 'cause the load-in is a PITA. When I've used the 112, it makes my sound fuller-I don't need louder where we normally play.FWIW,all but one of my 5 basses are passive and I rarely take the active one out.(The Active One)>>>>>>>

There are three 1x15 Rumble combos: 1) the original Rumble 100 introduced in 2003 with the now famous flashing disco lights; 2) V2 Rumble 150 introduced in 2010, and 3) V3 Rumble 200 introduced in 2014. All three have been used effectively in small venues (100 souls) without any PA support. Only on TalkBass do you need 500 watts and an 8x10 fridge + PA support in order to play inside a watercloset for 3 people.

View attachment 3038474I had to sell my original Rumble 100 to pay for my up graded amp but here is a pic of the one I found this past Christmas because I really liked the amp I had to buy a replacement

I see you found one with the red "disco light" still working!

 

[RumbleMan3]

do the fender blackface logos fit on the same as the stock fender logo on the rumble?

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

That’s where you’re wrong. Jamerson died three years before they made their first appearance. On the other hand - maybe that’s where the Funk Machine went?

Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.

Paul is playing through a silver faced Fender Bassman 100 with 2x15 cabinet loaded with a pair of JBL D130F's.

okay, thanks. I found the picture hard to see exactly what it was.

 

[Linnin]

The SVT hadn't been invented yet, and Paul never used one anyway.

I don't know when the picture was taken, but the SVT was introduced in 1969.

January of 1969. Bill Wyman took the first three SVT prototypes; an ampeg technician, and a van load of spare parts on the Rolling Stones USA tour in summer of '69 ending in the ill fated Altamont concert in Dec of '69. The SVT was not available for public sale until 1970.

Howdy all.

I have a question that I think has been answered here before, but I don't want to scour 1300+ pages to hope and find it!

But in my 210 v3 cab, it sounds like one of the speakers is starting to go, it has some club and what sounds to be coil rub happening when it is given about half power.

My question is, is there a direct replacement for these speakers or even better, a speaker that can handle a bit more and hopefully last longer?

Not looking to radically change the tone. If anything, maybe a bit more smoothness when pushed a bit.

Thanks for any help in pointing me the right direction.

OK, pull your grill off. With your thumb and fingers making a circle as if to grab a succulent breast, push in gently on the cone just outside of the voice coil dust cap. Listen carefully. If you hear or feel any scraping, that driver is toast and must either be reconed (rebuilt) or replaced.
It could also be that you have overheated the voice coils without actually overextending and blowing the woofer. If they sound fine at lower volume but sound like doodoo when loud, then you also have to either recone or replace. Eminence Legend B102 is your puppy. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Thank you, yes I did do that. It seemed to clean up when I pushed on a bit. This is how I knew it was crapping out. Have had it happen a few times through the years in other cabs from other makers too. Odd part is, not sure how it happen. I never pushed it hard and a friend wanted to try it over the weekend, we both got a surprise when he cranked it. I tried without the grill, and tightening down the screws, but only when I did the push on the outside did it seem to help any.

Once your voice coil gets out of alignment with the magnet it will only get worse. I don't know what you are doing for this to be happening over and over again with such consistency, but find out what it is and stop it! But for right now you've got to slap a couple hundred dollars worth of woofers in your cab.

Lol, I should have worded that a bit different. I've seen it a bunch of times, from when I use to help out at a local music store. This is my 3rd time personally. First time was because I bought a used cab from same said store, and they had put mixed ohm drivers in a 410 cab and wired them them backwards. 2 were firing the right way and 2 were firing inwards. Almost cooked my head at the time, it got super hot after about 30min of jamming.

The 2nd time was my fault. At a show someone had bumped my fuzz pedal volume know to max and I didn't see it before I mashed it during a sound. Cooked one of t he speakers in my GK MB212II combo. That was expensive to replace. And what a noise it made, drowned out the whole band, sounded like a wounded banshee!

Most all the others I witnessed, were guitar combos and cabs of sorts.

I hope "they" was the previous owner, and not the store's tech. But, still, shame on the store for not checking the cab and finding those "gotchas" before they bit you!

I rebadged my R500C and R210 soon after I bought them. They fit fine.

 

[Danne Palm]

Slaving two 500C's?
Did anyone try slaving two combos together, creating a Clean + Dirty rig?
I am thinking Bass - Combo 1 - Effect Out - Pedalboard - Combo 2 = one clean and one effect amp.
Issues? Ground hums etc? Thoughts?

Go ahead, it's going to be fabulous

One thing to keep in mind is that effect out may be hotter than your bass output, so you might need to adjust your distortions, compressors, etc.
