I have one on my Carvin.

I see a faded cherry SG that looks just like mine!

Basses can be like rescue dogs. You walk into the store to get something for the one you've got, see your new, next best friend, and take him/her/it home.

I'm up to three. Dogs. Saving up for my third bass.

As some may know, I have a 25 that started sounding really wrong. I have since found another and replaced it. But, I got to thinking that maybe it could be just the speaker. Given I have an identical working 25, what would be a good way to determine if the misbehaving unit problem is the amp or the speaker?

 

[Ryeguy63]

Agreed.
I may just call Fender and ask if a tortoise shell guard is available for purchase.
Never even thought of it before but I would definitely like it more than boring white!

Some things just never seem to out of style, and a tort pickguard is definitely one of them.

That's easy @Gravedigger Dav. First do a headphone check. If it sounds bad through the headphones, it's the amp. If it sounds fine. Swap the speakers. Do the press test where you form a semi-circle around the cone where it meets the dust cap. Press in gently. If you feel any scraping of the voice coil, it's shot. If not then pull the suspect speaker first pay attention to mounting screw looseness and also connector clip looseness on the speaker tabs. Something that simple could be the problem. If all that is good, go ahead with the speaker swap. That should tell the tale.

I should have thought of trying the headphone jack first. Thanks.

I've got three rescues.
I'm not sure who rescued who, but I know what you mean. I'd like to get another dog AND another SG. I want the SG with fancy block inlays and gloss finish but the dog I just want healthy!

Actually, you should be able to disconnect the speakers from both units and jury rig a couple of wires with alligator clips or matching tab connectors and connect the suspect amp of one amp to the known good speaker of the other amp. That way you avoid removing the speaker from either cab.

Except that you have to remove the speakers from both combos in order to accomplish that feat.

Yeah. Like me, he's thinking you come in from the back but the speakers are front mount.

You have to know what you are taking about! These are combos and front mounted combos at that! And they've been that way for 15 years now (since 2003). Why would you offer erroneous advice and not know that? It's beyond me. I'm done.

Hi, I'm new to the thread. Rumble Studio 40 owner here. I'm loving it. I use it for practice and stage in my church's worship band.

Has anybody here had experience with the stereo XLR outs? How did it work for you?

I was going to do the testing last night, but I couldn't find the adapter for my headphone jack. It has a 1/8" stereo jack and an adapter that converts it to 1/4" mono. Oh well, I need to go to Best Buy anyway.

Ting-Tang Walla-Walla Bing-Bang to you @oo_ee_oo_ah_ah and welcome to the Fender Rumble Club. I've got a Studio 40 too. The XLR outs work exceedingly well. You get to take your pick of: stereo + post amp model & EQ + FX (if any); Mono post amp model & EQ + FX, and finally mono pre everything (dry signal). Just hook 'em up and go. Easy as pie.

Welcome Rumbler #944! Old MacDonald had a farm ee_ii_ee_ii_oh. And on that farm he had a Rumble 40 and he would Rumble On!

Might seem like an overly-simplistic suggestion, but do make sure your phones don't have the screw-on end that can be removed to expose an 1/8" jack under the 1/4" shroud end. I have two sets of high-end phones that sell for over $200 and both of them have the removable plug end.

The 1/8" plugs in to the adapter. There is no screwing involved. I remember putting it somewhere safe so I wouldn't lose it (again). I keep find the damn thing when I don't want it, but never can find it when I do.

Hi and welcome I have a Studio 40 as well. I use the Mono post and it works great. What I love is I get the modeling and effects and they sound great through the FOH. I have not used the Stereo out yet but I have a recording session coming up that I am hoping to use it on.
