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

That [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] should be a really good pairing with a R200c, Goner. I've read only good things about them. I think they are about 28 lb.s, but quite compact. I now see they are 8 ohm and rated 250 watts continuous, so they'd be good for the R200c and the R500c. I remember seeing one in a mom & pop music store one time and being surprised at how solid it felt. The kid minding the store said, "Those are great little cabs, man." But he didn't know any specs on 'em.

Here's a familiar Rumbler's Rumbling family including 2 of the v2 112 cabs.​



:laugh::roflmao: It'd take a lot more than a R200c to do that to the Rumble 2x8" cab! :roflmao::laugh:

I played through a head/cab rig at a now defunct* M&P B&M store. It sounded pretty good. Their price didn't. Owner died, family sold the biz.

*when something becomes 'defunct', was it 'funct' before? I assume 'funct' is short for functional?

I think you're on to something there. I always thought defunct had something to do with Bootsy Collins. :bassist:
 
Justine Chancellor's (TOOL) Bass Tone with just a Rumble 40. How do I get close enough? Thanks
Maybe try scooping the low-mids and use the bright button? I don't listen to TOOL but we all know that one bassline and this is where I'd start.

Because you don't have pedals and I'm not sure what bass you're using I feel like you're probably going to have to experiment. Find out what kind of technique he uses on his right hand and try to emulate that too. That might be the most important part.

It's like with Geddy Lee, if you don't hit the bass strings like he would you won't get a sound like his. I've played a Geddy Jazz and a black Ric, probably on the same day too and let me tell you I certainly didn't sound like Geddy. Chancellor might not use a distinctive picking style (or he might I literally don't know) but he will probably have a preferred playing position, bass style, and pickup configuration that effects his tone. @20GLJazz also pointed out that he uses EB Slinky strings. So that may also help.
 
How do you use your Flyrig with the Rumble?
I just put it in front of the amp. I used the Sansamp circuitry to compliment the Rumbles preamp as well as using the tuner. I used it on 5 gigs since September of 2020.

I bought a nano+ board because I wanted to run a HPF with my BFR setup but decided to go this route instead.

Still want to use the BFR, but as always, TB has me rethinking my set up all the time. I do think the BFR is a great price of gear it will just be used as backup to this board for now.
 
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!

Good luck! JC splits his signal into two GK heads, one is his dirty channel that has a proco rat on it and the other is his clean channel with a sansamp and fuzz pedal and some other goodies. To get a similar-ish effect, I've had some moderate success with either my Stingray style bass or a G&L L2000 run through a sansamp, then cranking the treble and dialing back the mids and bass a bit. Turn on Bright. Gain is noonish or back a little, overdrive is on and the distortion is around noon or a bit higher. It's a pretty hard tone to cop with a Rumble and there's a lot of tweaking that will go into making it sound passable.

Thanks for the ideas. I actually play a Geddy Lee Sig Jazz Bass. Yes , he uses a pick and does a lot of hammer on's and pull off's. I'l keep tweaking although the combinations are endless with this mighty V3. Thanks Again.
