Fender Rumble Club

[Linnin]

It's good you don't play poker.
We know that you know...

No. I really don't know.

 

[Fletz]

Just ordered a 115 rumble cab to sit under my 500 combo. Can't wait to feel the rumble of the Rumble! The 500 on its own has been nice, but my new gig will require a little more air to be moved. (It's a 90s alternative band vs. 70s and 80s that I've been in).

 

[iagtrplyr]

Okay, I'll start the guessing.

Sure thing: I'm gonna say a sweet 'lil 2X10 cab to mate with the 500 combo.

Long Shot: What I've been pitching over at the Fender website the past couple years, and that's a Bronco-styled floor pedal like the Mustang has. That way you can add new tones to your arsenal via a pedalboard. I'd buy one.

Next...

2x10 ext cab to go with a 500 Rumble combo...I hope!

 

[SV777]

I'm guessing some expansion of the Rumble line up including a 210 cab and a a 1000 head with newer streamlined cosmetics of the heads

Possibly, but this current version came out hust last year and I would think it unlikely that there'd be cosmetic changes already.

A few years ago I would've never thought A 1000-watt "affordably-priced" head would be in anyone's plans, but with the current crop of 800-watt micros and minis available you never know.

Maybe an old school updated version of the Bronco 40. I love mine for practicing, but it could use a freshening up. Never been a big fan of FUSE, so maybe something more user-friendly.

I'm really keen to hear your own verdict on the 15" extension addition , keep us posted Fletz .

And that brings me to next topic mentioned above,new releases.
I have been thinking about the 15" ext cab to go with my 500 combo,but in all honesty I am reluctant for a few reasons,

1. It's been said a million times over I know but "don't mix driver sizes" .

2. I have not had the need for more power when using the combo at the "right sized gig ". I can always take my "big rig" (which hasn't seen much use since the combos arrival) if the need arises.

3. But if I wanted to add an extension cab then I would also like the choice of a "matching" 2x10 Fender ext cab, (as well as the 15" already available) , thats purely designed to compliment the combo in every way, and then be able to utilise a 4x10 speaker arrangement at 500 watts in a lightweight package.

The same cabinet (2x10) would also be of benefit to those with Rumble amp heads and a 4x10 cab. Adding a matching lightweight 2x10 would be a huge bonus !

Another benefit to offering a matching 210 extension, would be the opportunity for more people to experience an "upright" 410 stack.

As anyone who has owned rigs with enhanced dispersion can confirm, there are huge benefits to be had from vertical or near-vertical driver placement.

It's not just about hearing yourself better on crowded stages. It's also about getting fewer loudness complaints, and ensuring that your audience gets a more consistent experience.

I'm more than happy with my current rig but if Fender make this available then I'm throwing my wallet at it.

 

[Smoove-Groove]

I'd buy a 2x10 in a heartbeat!
Here's to hoping.

Here is a question for Fender Rumble 100 (Original version) owners, and probably Linin...

I don't want to bad mouth the entire early series per my bad experience with it, but I am curious if there might have been some quality control issues with the first generation Fender Rumble amps...

My one and only experience with those amps was taking a rumble 100 for a test drive at the Webster Texas Guitar Center. I know in hindsight probably badly abused on the floor over there, but...

The amp itself hummed, badly, and when plugged in and played at anything over about 25 % volume, it buzzed and rattled like grandmas tea cups in an earthquake... The noise was somewhat like metal and wood rattling together..

I found a pic of one online...

It looks like the metal mesh grille is simply screwed onto the cabinet... I would assume that there is some sort of isolating material between the grille and cabinet to keep this sort of rattling at bay correct?

I haven't seen any one else post up about a problem with these amps...

I am VERY glad my initial Rumble experience didn't sour me for good on the entire line... I am LOVING my V3, and I am just sort of wondering "what could have been" since the Rumble 100 was actually at that time CHEAPER than my Crate BX-100...

Sounds like an amp does when the delivery guy kicks it off the truck. None of the 100s I played had the issue you mentioned.

It gave me a sour taste for the series, but my guitar guy here in town bragged up the V3 when I mentioned I needed a lighter amp... I am wondering if I should be regretting waiting this long to grab a Rumble... I somewhat suspect the GC floor model had something broken inside that they just were too lazy to fix.

That would never happen

 

[Bent77]

Seriously though, very pleased with the Rumble lines, I for one think they have improved each series.

Finally had a chance to open up the 500 head and pour a little volume to the 410.

Nothing short of impressed

I had an opportunity to open mine up volume wise on my patio, No 410 cab, just the Rumble V3 500 2x10 combo, and it was awe inspiring in both volume and tone... Ran a through about 5 minutes of some blues lines just enjoying it before I figure law would get involved...

 

[Mr_Martin]

I have the chance to buy a used RUMBLE 410 V3 cab.

I have 2 Peavey Tour 700 Heads (500w/8ohm – 700w/4ohm) an a GK NEO212 cab.
So the Tour Head with the RUMBLE 41(500w RMS) would be ok.

QUESTION:
For bigger venues i could pair the 212 with the 410.
Is it ok to pair the cabs or am i getting in trouble with the "don't-mix-cabs-army"?

Someone tried a 212 mixed with a 410?

 

[Big Hoss]

I would think the don't mix cabs would come after you if you dared to mix driver sizes, or even MFGs.... They get funny that way.

Seriously though, if it's a good deal and you can resell it without a loss, why not pick it up, try it out and resell it if you don't like it?

Go for it! Mixing cabs is always a sonic gamble, so try it and see.

 

[Mr_Martin]

Ok, thank you.
The Fender cab is "open box" with some minor dings for half of the price with full garanty.
