Fender Rumble Club

No. If it is a Rumble 100 1x15 combo it is a V1. Post a photo and we'll know for sure.


Its black. 1x15. Has a red light option. I guess its the V1. I dont have any good pics of it other than these...

Thank you! I took the fender apart last night with the intention of having to solder and what not. But my buddy (who was actually doing the work) was unable to hard wire it. I figured that was the best solution but was more difficult. I will try your suggestions though. Thanx again!
Actually it's a good thing you failed in your endeavors. The 15" woofer in your Rumble is 4 ohms, and you would not be able to run it in parallel with your 410 cab. If your cab is 8 ohms, you can then add another 8 ohm cab for a total load of 4 ohms. If your cab is 4 ohms, then that's all you can run with you Hartke head. It's important that you learn the difference between an ohm and a gnome.

You can, however, run the pair in concert with one another using the one of the two effects send methods I told you about earlier.

I'm thinking about picking up one of these 2x10 cabs to pair with my Genz Streamliner 900 (500 watts @8ohm) Would this speaker handle what my amp is pushing? Of course I know to be mindful of my bass settings etc, but I want it to be able to fill a small bar on a gig. I still don't understand the weight of this cab. I was hoping it would have been less.

EDIT: I guess I should mention that I am currently using Avatar B210 NEO as my cab of choice right now. Nothing wrong with the sound, I just want something lighter, and more vintage looking without sacrificing tone and power.

I wouldn't, but of course you can do what you like. The new Rumble 210 and 112 cabs are being manufactured for Fender by Eminence in China. The plywood is different/heavier.
 
Why wouldn't you? The cab says it handles 700 watts, so do you think it wouldn't handle it?
No, I don't. Here's why: "Rated at 700 watts (program), 350 watts (continuous)". Your Genz puts out 500 watts continuous at 8 ohms, and will peak out around 1,000. You'd have to be really careful. Spend a little more and get a Rumble 500 combo instead. It'll do you proud every time.

I saw on the news the Seattle port is having the same problems. I hate unions for exactly this reason: they have no concern how it affects anyone but them. You are aware unions actually called several strikes during WW2? Who would do that?

I had a Genz Streamiliner 900 and like this Rumble much more in every possible way. That said, Fender bought and absorbed Genz Benz a year or two ago. And now they are coming out with bass amps like these. Coincidence?

Aaarrrgggghhhhh! I am having a hard time constraining myself.

I know of a couple of 210 cabs in the metro area that I can pick up NOW if I wanted to separate myself from the $$, and Musiciansfriend also has them shipping now...

I do have the money, but my wife and I are trying to pay debt off NOW. (Her laptop gets paid off, and then we dive into paying off the mortgage...).

I have got to hide my debit cards / credit cards and keep my wife with me or else one of these cabs is going to follow me home soon...

And the worst part is there is NO WAY I am really ready talent / skill wise at this point for one. I don't NEED it, I WANT it and there is a huge difference...

Stupid GAS.

Uh... Seriously doubt it.

The first two versions were good in their own right, but these V3 Rumbles really bring something the earlier models were missing... It's just so easy for me to sound like I know what I am doing with them!
