Yeah, I have 1 and almost never get the chance to use it.
The places we play, I hardly use my 200c any more. The 100 is enuff.

I still love my 200c! Just got through playing my custom built PBass and man it sounds so good. Almost done with a Jazz Bass. Can’t wait to hear it through the Rumble!
I hear That Rumbles caught in the wild are even Tastier!
It’s the Proline Amp Stand from GC. $49.99

I have 2 Auralex Gramma pads right now. One of the old first series and one of the later model ones. They've been working great so far.
My wife made me a cover for my 200c
Fender Rumble Club rules not only allow for but encourage owning multiple Rumbles. I am down to only 3, a 40, a 100, and a 500 head and 2x10 cab. The 40 is for home practice. The 100 is for small gigs, usually acoustic trio or duo, and the 500 is backkup to my Bassman 100T.
The 100 sounds like this with my Breedlove:
Gravy Davy! My buddy, my pal! My beaucoup compadre! Long time, no hear from! It's great to literally see and hear you, again. Lookin' and soundin' mighty fine, too! And the Rumble 100 is well set for that venue. Glad to see you "doin' that bass thang" you do so well.
Please advise, kind sir, just what Breedlove bass you're pluckin' there? I couldn't quite recogni-size it. I would appreciate some edu-macation.

Now, in all fairness, he said settled on, not settled for, which is more or less what all us 500 owners have done, and with good reason. There used to be a time when the Rumble 500 was regarded here on TB as something you settled for, but I haven’t heard those opinions being aired in quite a while, so I think the 500 has come into its own.That's quite a Rumble journey, rukker! But my own Rumble 500 combo doesn't seem to me like something to "settle" for. @Ruknrole, you are now member #1235 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome. Put your Rumble number in your signature and wear it with pride. That R500c will certainly do you proud. You might wanna checkout some of the various settings in the Rumble Club TONE Pool, on the Rumble Club Wiki page, to see what it can do.
roley, please tell us what brought to the Rumbles and what all you've played before. And feel free to ask, answer and discuss whatever you like here. We wanna get to know you, then you can join in as we all . . . .
Rumble On!

Congrats! I trust you will not be disappointed. While the 500 is inexpensive in comparison with many other brands, it’s no slouch when it comes to performance. Those reviews are positive for a reason.

Coming nigh on to 6 years since I aspired to my Rumble 500 combo. It was the new zenith of Rumbles in those days! None more powerful!! The top! I hoped it would be OK, but at just $500, and because of its "value line" heritage, I honestly didn't expect much. Boy, was I surprised!
Nowadays, with the ultra-versatile modeling of the Rumble Stage 800 and the "premium line" features of the modern Rumble 800 HD head, perhaps the venerable R500c could be considered more of a settling choice. A very solid choice, mind, ... but no longer the top, the ultimate.
Doesn't make me wanna trade-in my 500 for either one of those, however. I'd rather add them both, in fact! But, alas, Sir Paul has yet to call me for my dream gig. So, until then, my mighty Rumble 500 alone is always more than sufficient; and, with my Bassman 115 cab, is more than capable; and, as reinforcement to my Rumble Studio 40, is more than flexible enough for anything!

Howdy, sir. It is a Breedlove Solo Jumbo Fretless. One hell of an acoustic. It is strung with flats, but I don't know what brand. They were on it when I bought off TB classifieds. Traded a MIM P and some cash for it. I play this bass a lot these days. I love the sound through the 100.Gravy Davy! My buddy, my pal! My beaucoup compadre! Long time, no hear from!

Aren't you in DFW? If so, I'll let you know when we play next.
Ah, yes. Now I recall your Breedlove Solo Jumbo from a sound check video you did a while back. I don't recall it being fretless, though! That must add quite a bit to the upright tone you get with it. Rumble on, Dav!
No, sir, I haven't been in the DFW area since February and not very long then. Otherwise I'd have contacted you. Now, with that Thang That's Goin' 'Round, I dunno when I'll get back there. (sigh)

When things let up, let mw know if you're down around Austin!
