Glad to hear it, ventus (member #259)I'm still happy with my little Fender
Since I bought 500 Combo ...... Peavey has been inactive
Nice shot too. Rumble 500 combo is lighter than that PV head.

Used the 100 I bought yesterday at trad. country band rehearsal tonight. Granted, it was only fourth-sixths of the band -- male singer/acoustic guitar player, female singer, drummer and me. But the amp did really great. Surprisingly loud and punchy. Excellent tone.
The true test will come next rehearsal, when the electric guitar player and keyboard player are present. But, wow, was super impressed tonight. As were my band mates. They were surprised by the big sound relative to such a small package and blown away by the light weight.

Linnin, is there a way to pin this to the top of the thread?
This list (and subsequent updates) form a valuable resource!
Unfortunately not, Scott. I've got the page and post numbers annotated in the members roster, but now anyone can run a quick easy search for Rumble Talk and come up with this.
Used my Rumble 100 last night for a fairly small room. It carried the room as the soundman only needed to put some of my highs into the house system. Great little amp. Thinking about just adding a second one for a Rumble 100 Stack o' Doom. 
A pair would make for a cool stereo mini-rig if you're into modulation effects. I got all sorts of crazy ideas after seeing a picture of Richard Bona running two amps a few feet apart.Used my Rumble 100 last night for a fairly small room.

Not so sure about the cost-effectiveness of running a mini stack, though. I went into the store with the intention of buying a Rumble 40 to use as a practice amp, and ended up walking out with the 100.
The fiendish minds at Fender have priced the V3 series so that the easiest solution to any lack of volume, is to simply move up a model. It reminds me of Apple's pricing ladder with the iPad- "for just a hundred more, you can get all this! ...and for just a hundred more..."
And look how well the Rumble 100 has worked for you both for live work! Especially for you Steve when you have to play the 'hell room' in the church basement. 
Rumbles Rule!

Good point...I do use a Zoom B3 for a tuner and graphic eq when switching to upright, so I could run a stereo rig. I wish the 500 combo worked for me...that would have solved everything. I might also just get a 500 head and either the 410 or 115 cab. The voicing of the Rumble series sits right in the mix so well. It easily gives you a pro-bass tone right off the rip.

Not sure where you ordered from, mine showed up in 3 days.After trashing my Rumble 30 V2, I have now placed an order on a Rumble 500 with my end-of-year firefighting money. According to the website, it will be in stock by the 1st of January, but with these boxes selling like hotcakes, who knows whether I can count on that
Happy guy right here

Holy Frijoles El Kabong!
It is truly amazing that there is no damage to the cabinet.
I'd have thought twice about even accepting it.
Who's to say there's no internal, unseen damages?
Especially if there is no amp to test it.
Hopefully damage was noted on the shipping bill.
And I would be contacting the seller, with those pictures, and advise them that you are not able to test the equipment.
Yikes!

Good advice. At least get a claim started so there's a paper trail, even if it eventually turns out to be OK.
Holy crap batman, is your delivery person not a Fender fan?
