I like the blackface look on that. It would be nice to see that look carry over to future Rumble series.

 

[GonePlaid]

If it's the picture, it's actually quite a lightweight 2x8" NEO cab. Now the old Rumble 350 210 combo is pretty heavy at 64 lb.s. But, not that little cab.

Hmm. Wonder how one of those 2x8's would pair up with the 200c.

It isn’t really the product that’s disposable. It would be easy enough for Fender to take it back and swap the electronics. The question is one of cost. As long as it’s cheaper to throw something away and replace it than repair it, this wasteful and environmentally harmful practice will continue.

I know. Still effectively disposable.

No kidding. It's why I still keep an old-school A/B head around as a backup. If my out of warranty Rumble 500H fails I suspect nobody will want to or be able to repair it. At least I'll still have one serviceable amp head.

Thank you

Don’t forget the second half of G-Dog’s post. If you don’t tell us about yourself and your journey, that number will dance on your bladder while you sleep!

I'm trying to get as close as possible with just my Fender Rumble 40 to Justin Chancellor's (TOOL) tone. Maybe someone with more knowledge could aid me in this unlikely endeavour. Thanks!

"Justin normally plays Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky strings (.045, .065, .085, .110)"

 

[Black Out Jazz]

Woah. Look at this, y'all. 260 bucks? What do ya think?

G-Dog's right, it's not an amp.

G-Dog's right, it's not an amp.

And @ $260, they're pretty dang proud of it.

Right, for a coupla 8s.

Right, for a coupla 8s.

And you can buy a new ELF 2x8 and not worry about its history for ~$150 more.

Well, I found another in Flo Rida. Shipping to my local store is 27 bucks. I don't think they know what it weighs. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I dislike that the 350 doesn't have a speakon or 1/4 output for an external cab. I can install one tho.

The R350c has an internal 4 ohm speaker load. Yes, you can add an external speaker connection, but it would need to completely bypass the internal speakers. Then, why have the 60+ lb.s combo? Better off with a much lighter R350h if you wanna use different speaker(s).

My Bassman 150 & 250 combos have speaker flexibilty like that, but I've never used it at all.

They're fairly reasonable on inter-store transfers. Orange Park is a suburb of Jacksonville, so North FL. Prolly be a lot more from down here.
Or not(see next post).

GC charges $27 pretty much regardless of where they're shipping to. That's what I paid to get my Stage 800 from Rochester NY to Colorado Springs.

 

[trseal]

I'm not sure I understand that policy. I have never had to pay for shipping for anything I have bo't from GC. Guitars, amps, stands, cables--nothing. Is that a regional thing?

The youngster I spoke with said it was because it is a used amp. I don't know if that is correct or not.
