I am waiting delivery on my 500 combo. I notice there is no clip light. Does the gain work like what I'm used to?
I generally boost until clip then back off a tad and go to my master to set level.

Hi jazzenfunk (member #297)
No. Think of the Gain as clean boost rather than a channel volume. You can have the gain all the way down and still get tons of volume from the master volume. Also the Gain effects levels of Overdrive and Vintage tone if selected. That's one reason there isn't a 'clip light'. Another is the fact that the built in Delta-Comp Limiter has a clip detection circuit and takes care of that for you. It's all in your owners manual. Enjoy!

I just tried out a Rumble 100 V3........and it's going back today.

I like the Rumble 75 much better.........

(not used for gigging).

Just got a tracking number for my 500! I've had the bass for four days, and I'm going crazy without an amp. I'm hoping for a delivery by the 15th.

All right, I demoed the 40...

Actually I went with the intention of getting it. I didn't even try the 100 because I didn't want my budget to be swayed. The 40 is still a practice amp but it comes very close to a full sized sound. I am sure with a little bit of knob twiddling I can even it out a bit more. It does not fart out on a low b, just not quite as deep as my v2 150, but that's to be expected. I am very pleased with it and here is a family photo.

Did you get the amp head or combo?

I LOVE my Rumble 75! Of course I have modified it quite a bit, but it's a keeper for sure. The V3 Rumble I'd really like to have is a Rumble 200 combo. Perfect for rehearsals and bar gigs.

I'm considering a pair of rumble 115 cabs (and the gk cx115 but can't find any info on that one).

But question is would the rumble cabs be capable of a nice tight (not boomy) low end and a nice presence of upper mids?

I play a PBass with flats mostly, all genres of bar band pop with either a GB shuttle 6.2 or a Carvin BX500.

Also, is this a sealed or ported cab? Thanks.

Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, JTSmitty! You are member #319
Sorry for the delay, but for some reason I thought you were already were a member.

Rumbles Rule!

A couple of pages late but I wanted to thank Linin for his recommendation. I got the footswitch on order... even practice at home I am thinking it will be easier to switch...

You're welcome, and yes they do come in handy. Or is that footy?

I'm watching you Linnin, don't hand out my number

We're gettin' closer... closer ... closer to 327! What I'm looking forward to is 427!

 

[Bent77]

Been about a year, we were close to 90 when I requested 327. So approximately 240 folks are admitting to owning Rumble amps since then. Pretty nice growth rate

Yes, I remember! BumbleBee was still running the Rumble Club back then. It's been one hell of a year!

I'll take a number. I got my V3 500 head in the mail on Weds. Took it to practice that night, and have been A/B ing it with my other gear for the last few days.

Very impressed. Sounds great with my SG bass (fellow SG fan mrb327's comments made my mind up), and it has plenty of headroom. I wouldn't say I prefer the tone over my old Sunn tube head, but it's really hard to beat in terms of price, weight, and sound. And, I won't be afraid to take it on seedy bar or basement gigs.

Probably going to run it through my old JBL loaded Sunn 118s for the time being, but a local retailer has a Rumble 1 15 cab in stock. When I clear some funds up, I'll be looking to try it out.

You got it, Dubsly! Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, you are member #320!
You're going to want a pair of those Rumble 115 cabs

Rumbles Rock!

 

[Big Hoss]

I got the 500 combo.

Excellent choice but then again I admit to being biased.

 

[Dubsly]

We'll see. I used to lug big or multiple cabs around, but I've been getting by with a 1 15 or 18 for a while. I'm lazy and don't like carrying anything I don't have to.
