Or you could wait for the"soon to be available" R212.

I've been gone for ages, what's this about a 212? Does that mean the 112 may make a comeback?
Also I recently added a 10 band EQ to the end of my pedal board. It's been the perfect pair with my 500 head.
Oh and a Sterling Ray5 as a recent birthday present. It also pairs incredibly well with the Rumble. Pretty sure I'll have this amp until it dies, or I do we'll see which comes first.

Haha. It's a Phase 90 clone I made.
And you absolutely should! It's not easy, but I've been having a lot of fun making effects pedals in unusual enclosures.
I vote that Fender comes out with a R500 and you can choose either the 2x10 or 2x12 configuration.....or dare I say, also a 2x15
I occasionally use a plectrum on my bass but always played fingerstyle on my saxes.I play finger style on my Bass always but not usually on guitar. Sometimes though.
Which is a form of parallel!But they're not parallel, they're stacked.
It's fun and challenging. I wind up playing songs our band doesn't do-and some I've never played b4-but have heard literally hundreds of times. Then trying to recall the bass line.
Also a little weird as far as keys. Having to change from C to A 'cos of the singer's range, for example. And then there's the total lack of $. But it's(was*) on Sunday afternoon so nothing else to do.* been cancelled

And that ain't necessarily so. 2x8 Ω can be either 4 or 16 Ω. It depends on how it's wired. When dealing with heads and cabs, we usually think of it as 4 Ω because when you plug two speakers into the head, they are in parallel. When you wire 2 8 Ω resistors in series, it is 16 Ω.I still don't know why 2x 8 Ohms=4 Ohms. I've given up all attempts to understand the equation and just accept it as "fact"(?).
1972 called. They want that amp back.
Didn’t need one but bought it anyway because it was too good to pass up.
TB’er selling his R40 for $100.
I reckon I’ll have it by next week.

Great way to improve skills, too!It's fun and challenging. I wind up playing songs our band doesn't do-and some I've never played b4-but have heard literally hundreds of times. Then trying to recall the bass line.

It’s only about how they are wired. They can be physically perpendicular and wired parallel.Hmm, vertical/parallel. Yeah. I can see that.
Hummmmm.... (pun intended
). I dunno of any one particular reason for such a thing. From this perspective across the etherwebs it raises several questions about all kinza things (typical troubleshooting stuff):- Is it actually more of a buzz, or a humm? Does turning the Gain on the head change it?
- Do any other amps do this there? Does upping their gain, or volume, bring it on?
- Does the head do it with a different cab? Or the cab with a different head?
- Is it just at your home, or elsewhere, too? Have you checked your home's grounding?
- Does it increase or decrease, or is intermittent, with different weather conditions?
- Have you removed the speaker grille and listened closely to each speaker?
- Does rotating/turning the unplugged cab sound like anything loose inside?
- Other stuff I can't recall (CRS*) just now . . . .

Hey! HEY! It's a 1970(I still have the receipt)
I turn the thing on. (A) it works, I'm good. (B) Smoke and flames(not necessarily in that order)-oops!
Yup. Especially, listening skills. One of our guitarists occasionally fills in with another band. The bass player/leader can only play a song in the key he learned it in, not what the vocalist needs.(Our man's voice is not as high as the regular guitarist's)
I will look through your checklist and perform a process of elimination. The buzz does go away when touching a string, turning the tone knob off or even touching the tone knob the buzz goes away. Does not change when adjusting the gain level up or down.Hummmmm.... (pun intended
Not that I can help, even given the answers to all these questions, but a Fender Authorized Service Center certainly could, if it comes to that. Just don't wait 'til the warranty expires before going there. Best of luck in this most ancient of electrical endeavours.
