I really like the blacked out look. Can one purchase the black corners and cover?

Not yet, but you can just paint them yourself if you know how to do the prep work on the chrome. Someone here even painted his grille cloth.

Now that I’ve seen blonde rumbles and what not, I want to experiment. A grille cloth painted something funky on my stage 800 would be cool. Something to stand out

People have ripped the grille cloths off the frame and stapled on tie-dye t-shirts in their place. Flags are common. Get some neon paints and have at it!

Does the post eq DI on the rumble stage 800 relate too the master-volume like on the old rumbles? or can this be set independant in the amp-settings? the rumble 500 had a nice sound from its DI but that feature kinda ruined it as a usable option.

I believe the Stage 800 XLR Outs are totally independent of the Master Volume, without settings otherwise. But, I could be wrong. See the manual @Linnin gave you the link to.

Also does anyone know if the speakers and cab are more flat-response than the v3? I have tried my markbass head into an rumble 2x10 and while not as scooped as the rumble 2x10 combo, when I compare with my markbass cab, its actually pretty much missing in the mids except the highest most trebly mid-frequencies.

The Stage 800 speakers are the same as in the 500 combo. See many other details linked here, NEW at NAMM 2018: Fender Rumble STAGE 800 and Rumble STUDIO 40, on the Fender Rumble Club Wiki page.

Well, my Rumble 200 Combo has a new playmate:

That Bassman 115 neo will make an excellent "playmate" for your Rumble 200c. I know my 500c enjoys the same!

Windows open. Fender Rumble Studio 40 on. Fender American Professional Precision plugged in. Nothing musical could be better. Life Is Grand. Rumble On!

Sounds eerily similar to my afternoon except for the windows closed, ac and studio 40 cranked, and a squier bass. The music was FINE. Working on the song list for the band.

and microphones. There are no homo or transsexual connectors.

Find out from your band. They may have plenty of mic cables already
No. ProCo is the best there is and more expensive cables are a waste of good money. Now if you've got bad money to get rid of, I suggest whiskey & women.

I kind of agree, but when a cheapo cable has crappy shielding you can hear radio stations sometimes. which happens with a poopy cable I bought from JBHiFi. so yeah, buy medium priced cables I'd say, around $15 to $20 USD

I ordered a couple of the Proco cables. Gotta have backup right?

 

[Linnin]

and cheap connectors too. You never want to buy the cheapest of anything. For good quality value priced cables choose D'Addario Planet Wave. For a bit more, ProCo is your best bet. No need to spend more, but don't spend less.

Could anyone tell me their preferred setting on their Rumble 500c for synth bass or using a suboctave and fuzz for an 808 sound? Thanks!!!

After reading Linnin's post yesterday it got me thinking about my own Fender setup. I hadn't used my Am.Std Precision for just over a year I'd been using a '86 Peavey Foundation (Jazz style), which sounded nice through my Rumble 200C.
So this morning took my Am.Std Precision out of it's case and plugged it into my Rumble 200 & there it was "THAT SOUND" that you can only seem to get with a, Fender Precision with flatwound strings on it and I remembered why I settled on this bass,amp & string combination. Couldn't have the windows open though it's raining here in the UK at the moment .

Here is a pic of my Rumble 100 I got about 6 months ago. I really like it, and it is easy to schlep around. It is my practice/rehearsal amp.I will be using it on a boat gig next month (trio).

Can I get a number?

WOOT! A real made in USA Fender Dimension Deluxe! Hold onto that baby forever as it is going to be worth a pile o' $$$$ one day. Oh! Welcome to the club @ituobrey. See @Gravedigger Dav for an official Fender Rumble Club membership type number. Rumble On!

I've had the Dimension since January @Linnin; the compound radius neck is super comfy! It's now my #1 and playing it through my Rumble, it gets plenty of praise!

Question for the Rumble 115 cabinet owners. I have the 210 and 112 cabs and know that these have the white acoustic lining inside the cabs, but am thinking of getting the 115 cab and wanted to make sure this cabinet also has the white acoustic lining / polyfil or whatever the stuffing is. Thanks!

I'm with Linnin, hold onto that bad boy! The double H Dimension is the Dimension IMO. And AFAIK (L&M still lists the whole lineup) they were discontinued after far too short of a lifespan. IMO these are like a Stingray but better in every aspect, love em.

Yes, most definitely they do. It's a polyester kind of blanket and comes in rolls. It is most often used in comforters (duvet for you French and Brits) and inexpensive sleeping bags for children and teens. It is inexpensive yet effective. So worry not, it's in there! Acoustically engineered anechoic foams are better but far more expensive.

And much better than G&L too. The Dimension pickups are the key. The elongated pole pieces are called 'staples' and are integral to the Dimension's unique sound. Maybe Fender's bass pickup engineer, Michael Bump, @Bluzman99 will be kind enough to comment.
