Antigua.....View attachment 3939788 View attachment 3939789 First get together in 6 months. Don’t rag the bass players’ shorts..102 yesterday.
got to play my new Paul.Wow through my Marshall Whoo Wee. We have been jammin the “Top” for years! We also pulled out all six of my Basses to compare them. The 51 is his. Beautiful bass. The Antigua in the background is a beast!! As always, the Rumble 200 sounded absolutely amazing!! One of the best bass amps I’ve ever had. That comes from owning SVT SWR and many others. I love my Rumble 200.
Man I couldn’t even look or even imagine buying one of these when they came out. Especially with the pickguard and under the store lights it looked horrible. Lol. I got the 2012 body from DarkHorse. Bought a Roasted Fender Neck from MF. All nickel hardware and Gotoh Vintage flatbacks In nickel. New Black Pickguard With a Lindy Fralin Pickup. To top it off TI Jazz Flats.Antigua.....
Sounds incredible! Beastly. Major Growl.
@EatS1stBassist, I’m sure anything you put together sounds wonderful.
But avocado appliances, kitchen accents, etc. never got any love from me. I’m still awaiting the Harvest Gold Bass, and the shag rug for your performance area.

Gus, that's a great gig testimony! Thank you for sharing. Always glad to hear.
And would you, please, add your settings to the Rumble Club TONE POOL on The Club Wiki page, if you haven't already? That's the best place to share these kinda numbers and notes for future reference by other Rumblers, new and otherwise. Don't forget to note outdoors and the Rumble rig involved, too. Thanks, man.

Oh - I hear ya - I was the same way when they were out in the music shops. But what you've done to it? Bravo sir - that is one absolutely beautiful bass! I'm a big fan of Lindy Fralins pickups - got the 5% overwounds in my Precision! He's a super guy and will do custom stuff for you. Guitar player in the band has him do all sorts of rewinds - been keeping him busy!
As I mellow, so does my taste in colors I suppose. Antigua has definitely grown on me!
D
Gig? What's a gig?
Thanks for the membership number. I did previously say I put my 115 on top of my R500c! This is wrong and explains why I need to be a member of this club. Those are vibration isolating gramma pads under all the speakers. I was getting quite a bit of vibration before I sprung for them...Thanks again!Awright, now, macca! And there I thought you were previously saying you put your 115 on top of your R500c!And are those vibration isolating gramma pads under all the speakers? Cool! @mcclurer16, you are now member #1246 in Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome. I trust you're familiar with the Rumble Club Wiki page, linked in my signature, since you've been here a while and contributing to the conversations. But, please tell us more of your Rumble journey.
You've certainly got your basses covered with 140 watts into the 115 for small venues and 500 watts into the 210 and 115 for bigger places. Great setup! Perfect for when we all . . . .
Rumble On!

mac, we're not here to dictate "the only way" to Rumble. We're here to support our Rumblers with whatever works for them!
You wouldn't be the first to want the sound of the 115 up closer to your ears, lots of Rumblers do. It's just that the size of the 115 cab seems a bit awkward on top of the R500c. If you've found a good way to balance them together, then many others might want to do it, too!
However, the R200c is the same size as the R500c and contains the exact same speaker as the 115 cab. And chaining the R500c FX Send to the R200c FX Return doesn't get the same punch out of that 15" speaker. But, separating the R200c amp & speaker like in the Rumble Modifications section* of the Rumble Club Wiki can let you use the R200c like a cab! Maybe that's what you need? (Though some say that the smaller R200c enclosure doesn't have the same tone as the bigger 115 cab.)
*BEWARE: Many such irreversible modifications will void the manufacturer's warranty!

I currently own the 200c and the 15 in that sounds wonderful. I previously owned 500 head with the single 15” cab and to me that setup didn’t sound as good as the 200c with its 15!
IMO
Do you recall what some said about the difference? When I have mine connected, the combined tone sounds great.
Mine again:2015 R200Cv3/R112v3 + 1967 NR THUNDERBIRDView attachment 3941163 View attachment 3941164
I've been jammin' the R200, and added a Rv2 - 12" ...oh yeah tones are nice n' full , ...and the combo can hold it's own.
(yes, another spray painted grill, great idea)
I have a metal grill, to match the Rv2, getting the edges rolled, and painted,
...rumblin' on
Do you recall what some said about the difference? When I have mine connected, the combined tone sounds great.
IIRC, Soul Man, it was something about the larger volume 115 cab giving some slightly deeper, or richer, tones than the smaller R200c box, which would seem to have some physical basis, while simultaneously pointing out that the R200c was quite deep and rich on its own.
Of course that's coming from more discerning ears than mine. I admit that I've not been able to tell any significant difference between my R500c's 210s (which have impressed me very much!) and my very impressive Bassman 115 Neo cab, when connected together!
