Fender Rumble Club

I've only been playing since last summer. I got a Rumble 30 without really doing any investigating ... figured for the price and my low requirements it would be fine.

Turns out I like it a lot. I'm in the process of replacing the speaker driver, which is getting me a little geeked up about equipment, amp heads and cabinets. Geez. Thing is, I have a 3-year-old at home so most of my playing/practicing is at night when everyone is asleep. Translation: The majority of the time I'm playing through headphones. On the rare occasion when I do crank it up, the thing shakes my entire house.
 
I need a number please. I have a 4x10 rumble cab and a rumble 150 head. I use them in conjunction with a fender pro400 combo. Depending on the size of the space I might use the 4x10 and head, the combo with the cab, or if it is a rather large space i might plug the amp from the combo into the rumble cab and the rumble head into the speakers from the combo.

Welcome everyone!

I've been impressed with these amps really living up to their name... Last week I had the volume on my 30 at half down in the basement and the ceiling beams were vibrating!

Nice looking set up, Strat Hater. How many more axes are hiding on that rack? :)
 
Rumble 60 here. Love the nifty red light with it too. haha. I was going to get the class d rumble 350, but went with the ampex portaflex 500 for my stack. Price was better. I love the RUmble 60 combo amp though for sure! Always liked the tone I get from Fender Bass amps. My first experience was with a buddies BXR from the days of old. :D

Well I must say I like the Rumble I played through, but I do not own one. I can't claim membership except in spirit.

If I like it.

I had to get rig of 2 Rays and a 70 Fender Jazz latley for monetary reasons, plus they were too heavy on my back, soo light weight here I come. I have had a real love hate relationship with Ibys, I hope I like this one cause I love the color
 
I'm about to sell my Rumble 75. For an on-your-own practice amp it was great. But it was just too heavy, and the big offset bulk at the big didn't make it any easier to carry around the house/town. That said, the newer Rumble series have a kind of 'internal' mid scoop, that is un-EQ'able with the amp itself. I read a thread on TB from someone who had scientific evidence of this phenomenon. That's why the amps sounds so boomy/punchy...

Let's just say I am more pleased with my small Ibanez Promethean 3110. Small and thus easy to carry, mid-pronounced and still very nice lows. Oh, and a D.I.

But long story short, I understand why you dig them. It's just not my cup of tea.
