Thank you, Soul Man, thank you. Thankyouverymuch.
While I appreciate the recognition, based solely (soully?) on my rad photoshop skilz, I must respectfully acknowledge that @Linnin came up with the original Rumble Club 400 concept.
I'm Dreaming of a Fender Rumble Club 400 1x15 Combo Christmas …

Rumble On!

Happy Fender Friday!
Happy New Fender Rumble Friday!!!
The New Rumble 800 HD is a fitting replacement for the late lamented 200 head. It responds positively to the calls for higher power, 2 ohm capability, a pre-master DI, and speakon connectors! All in a sleek-looking new rounded corner case, while still fitting into the magnetic cups for head stability built-in to Rumble cabs.
The New Rumble LT25 is a low-cost introduction to bass modeling in a practice, or recording, sized combo. Fewer modeling presets than the Studio/Stage combos, and fewer outputs, and fewer complications without wifi wnd Bluetooth. But enough for admitted technophobes to dabble and learn what bass modeling can be about.
Rumble On!

Great idea, @Linnin. Sorry I missed the initial post and sorry Fender wasn't listening. I would have sold my C200, bought the Club 400 and modified my 1-15 cab to black...oh well

Worry not @SoulReflection. We are always focused on the future, and Fender is always 'listening'.Great idea, @Linnin. Sorry I missed the initial post and sorry Fender wasn't listening. I would have sold my C200, bought the Club 400 and modified my 1-15 cab to black...oh well

Hey, I wonder what the chances are for a Special Edition Fender Rumble Club 400 FSR? Or would the Fender Custom Shop consider such a thing? Would we, as THE Fender Rumble CLUB, have to pony up $XXXX as down payment to commission YY units of said combo? . . . . and/or another $WWWW for ZZ units of the matching, both cosmetics and footprint, 115 cab?
If anybody here had any contacts at Fender to suss out the possibilities, man(!), wouldn't that be awesome? Talk about your collector's item!
Flashback Friday! A little over one year ago, after introduction of the Bassman 800, I expected a Rumble 800 way back then! But I got a few details wrong.
Thanks, but I did end up finding one at Big Apple Music in NYC.. I do appreciate the offer though!
Interesting things going on this afternoon as Fender isn't showing the Rumble 500 head on it's web site, though I did find a back page via google that showed the 500 head but with a notify when in stock blurb. Sweetwater isn't showing the 500 head either, though some of the other big internet dealers have it still listed. I've no idea if the brand new, big gun Rumble 800 head will be the only Rumble head for now, and yes it looks like a good one, or if Fender is back ordered on the 500 heads. I'm aware the R200 head is no more. My R500 V3 is still rumbling away just fine, but I'm curious if anyone knows what's actually going on with the status of the R500 heads as far as Fender is concerned. I'm one who doesn't like to speculate or feed off rumor mills. As I said, the R500 heads might be back ordered in terms of production, but I do find Fender's direct web site omission, and Sweetwater not listing them now, to be rather curious.

Well, when I bought my Rumble 500 head a little over a month ago from zzSounds, they had discounted the price by $50 from what I could find anywhere else. Perhaps they knew the 500 head was due to be dropped and wanted to clear their stock. Musician's Friend also had a discount, but only if you ordered over $1000.
The Rumble 500 head is on the Invalid Link Removed. You may have to click on the "Load More" button at the bottom, as I did. Does this not work for you, @thumpbass1?

In my original post, I stated I did find the link page that led to to the Rumble 500 head, and that very same page comes up with the load more feature. I don't know how I missed that. It does seem to be Fender is awaiting new production stock on their end of things. However, it still doesn't explain Sweetwater's omitting the R500 head from their website at the moment, as they do list items waiting for new stock. If Fender is simply back ordered production-wise and with it's retailers, or the R500 head is in the process to be discontinued, we'll find out eventually I guess.

I've got a Stage 800 incoming. Have used all sorts of different rigs (Vanderkley, Aguilar, Markbass, Glockenklang) the last few years, but wanted to lose the pedals and lighten the load. Was tempted by a Helix, but the Stage 800 seemed to offer the opportunity to experiment with the digital stuff, and have a quality 'traditional' amp, when needed
Never had a Fender amp, loved the Rumble 500 when I've had a go. Can't wait!

If you haven't added an HPF to your rig, you're way behind in knowing what the Rumbles can really do.
Check out the HPF mega thread if you're on the fence or just looking into it.
