It's my rumble 200 v3 ( also have a 40 v3 non modeling). The sunburst is my 72 Fender Jazz with d'addario tapes. The black beauty is my yet undated Peavey Milestone II intl version.Cool! Which Rumble? And while we’re at it, tell us more about those basses!
I recently sold/traded my beloved yet monstrously heavy, Peavey combo 300 and a cheap Chinese knockoff for these two rumbles and I love them!
Sweet! What a nice little family
I had a feeling that was a Non-fender P. Those milestones are incredible. I had a BXP a few years back. (A little later down the timeline, and the J bass version. Peavey told me mine was “early 2000s,” so yours would be older than that.) I ended up parting it out on my quest for the perfect parts bass, but it was one sweet $100 axe!
Welcome to the club!
Thanks! Not sure what to tell ya... probably the same as all the other Studio 800s haha. I've been messing around and am on a grand
*** ** * TONE QUEST * ** ***
to find a few specific tones that I like. Just jammed with the band for the first time this weekend and I must say this thing performed amazing! Every time I felt like something wasn't up to par, there was a knob or setting to fix it, or another tone that worked better for that song.
Definitely a bit of a learning curve as I've put a decent amount of hours into this and still have to fiddle around quite a bit when playing but it'll all be worth it. I'm more than happy with this purchase and would recommend these series modeling amps to anyone who wants to be more creative with the sounds they can get out of their instrument.
Glad to be a part of the Rumble Club and these forums, and I look forward to some great conversations with all of you!
I’ll have to see where the Fender authorized service center is for Seattle and how much they’d charge to fix it. Or maybe pull it apart and try to put it back in myself? Anyone have experience with this repair?
Anyway here’s a pic.

Yo, berger! Dat's a-nice! @Bill Thorsberg, you are now member #1171 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations on your good taste in amps and in associations. Glad to have you with us and sharing your Rumblings. Please do continue.
And, lest anyone forget, we here are all called to . . . .
Rumble On!

Isn’t it just a washer and nut holding the jack in place? That probably just came loose and fell off? I’d be REAL tempted to open it up and see what I could see... excited to see what happens
Woo hoo! loggy, that is one whopper of a money saving score! @Balog, you are now member #1172 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations, and please tell us more of your Rumble journey.
Like, did you buy it used? If so, there may be some time left on the famous Fender 5-year transferable warranty, if the original owner bought it before January 1, 2017 and you can get the original receipt to establish that date. I dunno if this kinda thing would be covered by warranty, but it would be better to find out that date before you go opening it up and, therefore, voiding any possible warranty, and before contacting your nearest Fender Authorized Service Center, just in case.
But, meanwhile, you (and we) should certainly continue to. . . .

I haven’t had a chance to look, but I was thinking it was probably surface mounted on a board and it might be damaged. I’ll have to YouTube some tear down videos tonight.

Thanks! It probably is still under warranty, but the dude I bought it from definitely does not have the original receipt. Any way to establish a warranty claim other than that? I should email Fender. He was asking $100 but couldn’t drive to meet me (car has a dead battery) so he offered to knock $20 off. I honestly thought about just giving full asking price, but since I wasn’t able to test it and it was damaged I figured it all evened out. It was listed on FB marketplace with a single super blurry photo of the grill and listed only as “bass amp.” I couldn’t be more happy that my nightly CL/FB checking yielded such great results.
If he bought it online from a Sweetwater, Musicians Friend, or such, there is usually a way for the original buyer to get a copy of the receipt by contacting them. Tell 'em it's for warranty purposes. The places I've named usually want to help their customers with that.

Attention: Rumble Club Wiki Edit Alert!
Thank you, @Slingy, for sharing! Slinky, the YT video you posted in the Combo Club about opening a Rumble 25 for repair has been linked on the Rumble Club Wiki page at the bottom of the Rumble Modifications section. This is an educational video for those whose Rumbles are out of warranty. Though it maybe should have some safety warnings about lethal contact points inside, it's very interesting to this non-technician.
Thanks, Slinger, for sharing this. You never know who this might help. And, ultimately, helping each is the main goal of The Club. You done good, sir! Now, go . . . .

darrell, that's a very nice setup you got there. @ddarrell2, you are member #1173 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations, and make yourself at home up in here amongst us. And please tell us all about your Rumblings.
Like, f'rinstance, did you separate the amp from the speaker in your R200c, yet? If so, please tell us about it, or add any pics you took to the thread that inspired you to do it, and give us a link there. Would ya, huh? We gots to know!
Anyway, welcome to The Club. And let's all . . . .

Cool thanks! I probably should have spent more time researching for that video though. I just picked it because it was the first one I found showing an actual disassembly which is what I would have started with if I had that issue.
I do hope it can help people though, I love the helpfulness, positivity and encouragement I see here. This is a good place, I'm glad I joined.
i've taken mine apart once cause of couriosity, it's just the matter of a few screws to take a look inside. the amp section is only connected to the speaker with plug-in wires. so really an easy job to take apart/put back together.
I guess they are, so would need some soldering indeed. For me finding proper replacement parts would be the harder job.
This is how it looks, the PCB on the left holds the back connectors: Fender Rumble Club
After years of trying different amps. different basses I have finally found the Holy Grail, I got more compliments on my sound yesterday than ever before.. Used the Post DI out on the amp and the sound came alive through the FOH....
