Fender Rumble Club

Any of y'all putting your 200 or 500 combos on an amp stand, and if so what are you using? I've been putting mine on a milk crate, but I'd like something I could angle.
I have these: the one on the right folds completely flat(I keep it in its box). I also have a MudStand mini. All except the MudStand stay in my van. The AmpWedge in the front fits in a duffel with cables, guitar stand, etc. The other 2 pics are of my 200c on the MudStand mini-vertical and on its side.

Which do you like best (other than the MudStand, because I've got a Musicians Friend gift card)?

Generally, the one on the right.(On Stage(corrected) 4000) As I said, it folds flat, slides into its box, and is easy to carry with other stuff. The rubber feet on the horizontal pieces keep it in contact with the floor but not too much and the angle gets the sound aimed at your ears.

Thanks! So you don't need to get the bigger one of those (the 6000)?
 
Finally got to use my Rumble 500 with both 410 cabs at a gig yesterday. Nice little end of summer party. Exhausting day, between running the smoker, setting up the stage and playing, but we rocked it and wow!!! I love the sound of those 8 10’s running outside. Total sonic bliss.
That must be a monster sound! I’ve been thinking about adding a 4x10 to my 1x15 with the 800 head. Not that I need it but sometimes it’s important that my neighbors know how that 80s metal is still alive.

IDK what part o' the country you're in but ya might start an earthquake panic.:smug:
 
Guys i need to ask you something.
On a rehearsal i was really happy playing with a rare combination of mi fender rumble 500 and a laney rb8, all from my pedalboard (with an aby pedal i got my signal to both amps) and suddenly the fender starts farting out. i was pretty scared so i turned it off and continue playing with the laney. the next day i connect the fender and works like nothing has happened.
my settings are always everything at noon and the pedalboard are running a compressor, an eq and a DI. nothing fancy.

any ideas?
 
My Rumbling brothers and sisters, I've been asked by the venerable @Gravedigger Dav to grant him respite in the duties of issuing club numbers while he recovers from a non-serious illness. So, herewith begins my reign as Temporary Rumble Club Membership Number Issuer. Uh, ... but, the numbers are permanent!

Here's my Rumble 200! May I have a number please?

Welcome, @cooks33, you are member #1105 in the Fender Rumble Club. Very nice rig, there.
.
I’d like a number, got my Rumble 100 3 years ago. Bought a Fender pj elite several months ago to go with it. Looking at going with maybe a head/cab soon.


Well, it's about time, @evlwevl, that you are finally member #1106 in the Fender Rumble Club. We look forward to catching up with you.

As promised!

I tried both the 200 and the 500. Liked them both!
The 200 would do everything I currently need for the few times a year I need an amp, but the 500 is a lot more bang for the buck.

I guess it's time to request a number!

:):bassist::hyper:


Congratulations, @ak56, you are member #1107 in the Fender Rumble Club. Good choice of the 500 combo!

Thus is my mighty luminescence shone upon the worthy! Yet, if I be blinded by the light, and have overlooked any unacknowledged Rumblers seeking to be counted amongst this valiant volume of bassists here lauded, let them come forth and be recognized and so anointed. That is, ... if I missed you just lemme know and I'll get you fixed up.

And to all and sundry, . . .
Rumble On!

Congrats! How did you hook those up? Did you use a Cab Link?

My second pass looking for new membership applicants found these:

Time for me to claim my number. I am now the owner of one brand spanking new Rumble 500C, and in a sealed box even. I waited until I had at least one gig under my belt with it first though.. Initial thoughts are yeah, it's loud enough, pretty enough, and (almost) light enough. Lol. Now if I can just dial in my sound...


OK, @THC, you are member #1108 in the Fender Rumble Club. I may be drunk with power for issuing this number without a picture, so let's see one before I get fired, OK?
.
So, how does one get a number?

Pardon my rats' nest of cables and stuff, but this is about the only 3'x3' space I have to practice in due to our current living situation:

I'd love to spread out a little, but it is what it is. At our old house, I was able to keep the amps in the corner and move myself (and my pedalboard) around the room to fully appreciate the sound and tone of everything...and it was there that I discovered that the ceiling fan generated interference with my ModTone delay and caused a cool flanger effect in the tube amp.

At this very moment, I've got my Rumble set up with an aux cord to play backing tracks, and I was experimenting a little with running my Peavey amp as an extension out of the Ibanez amp (sitting on top of the Rumble, pointed away from me to generate a little bit of reverb). But, I'll put the Peavey on aux cord duty for backing tracks and stuff when I'm playing through the Rumble.


Glad you got the message about showing a pic! @knuckleduster, you are member #1109 in the Fender Rumble Club. Your cables and stuff are pardoned.
.
Here is mine, I want a number too! 1807 perhaps? Yes, I painted the corners...

Welcome, @Frankula, you are member #1110 in the Fender Rumble Club. That looks lovely.

Folks,
I just posted a bug report and warning that affects the iOS Tone App and presets using the Rumble V3 amp model.

Please refer to the original message here in the new "Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800" thread.

Kind regards,
Droopy


Folks, I may be overstepping my authority here but, @Droopy_TX you are now member #1111 in the Fender Rumble Club. I make this award in recognition of your exceptionally dedicated work developing the Rumble Stage & Studio Preset Templates and the Stock Preset Decoder Files and in finding, reporting and following up on the iOS Tone App bug involving the Rumble V3 presets. Thank you, Droopy_TX!

I just got a Fender Rumble 800 head. Can I get a number?


Cool pic. It is my honor, @Hawaii Islander, to welcome you as member #1113 in the Fender Rumble Club. [Drapes plumeria lei in greeting] Aloha! I wanna go back to my little grass shack, too. Maui no ka oi.


Whew! @Gravedigger Dav, nobody misses you more than me! But I now see why you need a very thorough rest and recovery! Rest well, my friend, rest well. [pant, pant]
