Fender Rumble Club

[GonePlaid]

I forgot, I needs to get one of those mats, being the grumpy old fart that I am!

I keep mine inside the front door or it might "go away".

Thank you. Are the black knobs you’re now using of the push-on variety, as per the knobs on the current Rumble amps, or are they fixed on with a screw?

Some good folks on the amps and cabs thread suggested I should request a Fender Rumble Club membership number on here. I forgot to ask for one when I posted on here earlier. I’d be delighted to receive a number.

@Gravedigger Dav hook this boy up.

I like to crank it !!

If it's a Rumble V3 210 it's rated 350 watts continuous, 700 watts program, and it'll be fine. Running three 8 ohm cabs from the Rumble 800 HD sends up to 267 watts continuous to each cab.

BTW, we'll need pix of this rig when you get it assembled. It'll be the Club's first 3-cab rig, I believe. The Stage 800 combo can also run two extension cabs, but I don't remember seeing any pix of anyone doing so, and it's been available for the past year!

ill do it !!

1. Anyone playing a Rumble 500 head with 2 1x15 extension cabs?
2. Anyone playing a Rumble head and found a great house for it that's not a road case?
I'm thinking more like what the Bassman heads look like.

Thanks!

I think that’s the setup I wish I had. I have the 500 combo with the 1x15 extension cab and the 1x15 has a much fuller tone than the 2x10s in the combo.

Just trade for the new Rumble 800 head and an additional pair of Rumble 115 cabs and run a three 115 stack. Is good for: Rock; Soul, and Blues. Da Comrade! Is Rumblinski

This is what the original ‘ivory’ knobs on my Rumble 500 combo look like. The photo doesn’t really do justice to how yellowed they really are, but the sticky residue is the biggest issue for me. Tried soapy water and cloth, but not much improvement. It’s almost like the change from their original appearance is in the knob material, Rather than simply on it.

It's a chemical reaction to the environment. Some early Rumble 500 owners had this problem while most others did not. My early Rumble 200 has had no issues. Nor has my new Studio 40. If it were something in the material all the knobs would discolor and become sticky, but most didn't, haven't, or aren't. Most peculiar. To the best of my knowledge, no Rumble owners are radioactive or glow in the dark.

They're slightly smaller diameter, use a set screw; a screwdriver is included.

The chap I bought my Rumble 500 combo from mentioned it was one of the first ones made. Maybe Fender have changed the materials they use in the knobs since mine was manufactured.

I am sure the original owner glows in the dark ... it can't be anything else...

Well, I figured if today has taught me anything, it’s that replacements for the push-fit, Rumble-type ivory-coloured knobs are as rare as hen’s teeth, and the same goes for the flat, plastic Fender logo with the two screw-holes that the Rumble amps have. The search continues...

Hmmm, yeah, strange that the four-screw flat logo plate available everywhere, even on the Fender website, like this:

Is not the same two-screw one on the Fender Rumbles, like this:

I thought you knew. The cost savings of using just 2 screws is how they keep the Rumble's price down.

Sounds like Leo's engineering approach!

And sellng 4 screw replacements looks like a modern marketing approach.
