Definitely could be the issue.
I used to live in an old house where you’d get a loud hissy buzz in your amp plugged into the living room if someone turned on a light in the bathroom (or a light in the living room).
I was looking for an amp cover for my new Dr. Z ZPlus guitar amplifier and came across this company. They make a cover for my Rumble 200 for only $34.19 plus $6.99 shipping. Just though I'd share it here. They also make them for other Rumbles. Anyone have any experience with them. They look extremely well made.

Quick question: do the “feet” of the v2 heads line up with the divots of the v3 cabs?
Yep! They are all the same by design. Smart man that Dave Lewis.
So the books and photos falling off the wall are not because my 500C is broken???
On the contrary, it is because your Rumble is rumbling properly.
Oh yeah. That cat is in Texas, and does good work. I have several of his covers. They are good sturdy quality material and workmanship.
Aaaahhh...VERY good to know. That’s great news!
If they didn’t, it wouldn’t have been a deal breaker, but the fact that they do is another push towards my decision!
Thank you as always @Linnin !

The amp is not here at home with me,I leave it at Church. I will try turning it back on and see if that changes. Thank You!
Thank you,the amp is not here at home. I will do some more checking,different things. Not under warranty bought it used,but looks like new. Lot of times just checking things out?
Retorque the screws that hold your woofer in place. They vibrate loose with play.
Thank You, going to do some checking,it not here at home with me.
I have been reading and back searching the Rumble club/wiki and if I missed this I apologize
So my question/discussion is:
If the Rumble cabs are made differently and have different speakers and bracing then the combos would/will the sound and or volume of a head/cab be very different then a combo of the same items? (Example: R500C VS R500H and 2x10 cab)
I know sound and tone is a personal thing but was just curious.
So far I have only played through combos and with no external cabs attached
And of course loved them
But I will be upgrading in the next few months from a Studio 40 to a rig to play out
I like the head idea to have more cab choices but do love the combos

That's a good question @tb4sbp, and I am surprised no one has answered you. There will be no real difference in the sound between the two. Any perceived difference, whether real or imaginary, won't matter in any kind of live performance. The bass player; strings, bass, bass amp, and bass drivers are all identical. The only difference is the box. My Existential Motto is: "Any difference that makes no difference is no difference at all." ~ Linn Spencer So there's your free philosophy & Fender Rumble advice for the day. As always do
Rumble On!
Went over to where the amp is,and checked all the speaker mounting screws for loose ones,and the horn. Checked all around cab,see anything was loose,and rattling around.I had a passive bass,and an active bass. Checked settings on the vintage mode,and set the gain,at 9O'clock,and volume,at 11. No buzzing with the passive,but was buzzing with the active,when plucking strings? Could the battery cause this,because there was no buzzing,when I plugged in the passive bass?
signal too hot. turn it down.
Thanks Linnin
I was thinking there wouldn't be much of a difference but then I read in a post about the weight difference of the cabs vs combos and one reply said that the drivers were different and the actual construction was too which made the cabs heavier than the combos
But the 'flavor' of the Rumble would still be there from the pre amp so if there is a difference it wouldn't be like a Rumble head with a different makers cab or a Rumble cab with a changed out driver(s)
Just curious to see if anyone had tested it or if it is true that the Rumble cabs have different drivers and drastically construction
