Hey all...the screws in a rumble 500 head...I'm talking about the little ones that screw in to the top(see the pic). Any idea what size they are? Easy to find? Thanks!!

EXP-1 arrived today:


Just a little bit of use shows, LOL!

The MGT-4 does feed through the EXP-1, just like I assumed:

The jacks & plugs are just plain old TS connectors, so you can use any cheap instrument cable, which is what I've done here.

I've only used it for Wah so far, but it works great.
It doubles as a Volume pedal, if you click down on the toe-switch.

It's extra configurable in the menu. You can set it to wheel through types, mix, & of course the actual pedal expression variable.
You can also turn off the Volume feature, if you like.
 
Nice setup up, I am still kicking myself for not grabbing the used 32" Aerodyne I came across for a great price.
Thanks, there are always some good shots in the internet regarding an used Aerodyne. I am still looking for a Precision Body Aerodyne. Hard to find.
This one there is an Aerodyne clone: Jericho Alpha Blacker 35" scale. In reallity it looks porn with its matte finish and sounds and plays super sweet.

Happy Fender Friday! :woot:
1961 Jazz & Bassman.jpg

A trio of 1961 Fenders. The first production run of the new Jazz electric bass guitars, along with the very first 'piggy back' Bassman amp and 212 cabinet.
Leo Fender invented the separate amp head design first introduced in 1960 with his revolutionary Showman amp and cabinets. The Bassman amp pictured above would be the second. These were 'brown faced' amps with 'wheel o' cheese' knobs. These amps marked Fender's departure from 'tweed' linen luggage covering to 'blonde' Tolex & Oxblood grilleclothe.

I didn't know they were doing Roadworn basses back then :D

Hi all,

dont post here much at all, but have been a happy Rumbler for over a year. Somewhere in this thread/forum, I recall reading about tone differences with differing combinations of gain : master.....can anyone point me to that please ?

Thanks !
Oh yeah! There's the Tone Pool plus Rumble Tone Tips. All the links are on the Rumble Wiki.

Congrats! Enjoy :thumbsup:
Thanks! I gotta play around with it a LOT more in the next couple of days, first practice with it and this 4x10 is this weekend and i'm stoked. WAY punchier than the 115 combo i have in our practice space currently.

@kmon The fastener size for the screws on top of the amp are M3 .5mm pitch 8mm long phillip flathead screws. Link! McMaster-Carr
