Fender Rumble Club

That is what I did. It seems to be fine. Its the only way to do it I think.

I have a Rumble 500 combo as well as 115 and 210 Rumble extension cabs (all newest versions). The combo has white batting on the back only. The extension cabs both have batting on the back and two sides...none on bottom or top. So if I got this right I would pull the speakers for access then install better speaker batting everywhere. Correct?

The tone difference can be quite dramatic, depending on type and quantities of batting you add! Therefore, I'd take it easy at first to make sure I didn’t overindulge. It doesn't necessarily have to go everywhere. Some others have had to remove excess batting that they added. Also, since this could be considered to be a warranty voiding modification, I'd make sure it's easily reversible, at least until I get the tone I'm happy with.

Actually, I am happy with the tone of my R500c having never added any batting since it arrived over 7 years ago. Likewise with my Bassman 115 NEO cab. But, of course, YMMV.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, but prolly less than shipping woulda been, plus the cost of converters/adapters.

Hello. Can I join the Fender Rumble club please? I have 2. This one is a Rumble 40 which I use at home as a practise amp. The other (my main amp) is a Rumble 100. I'll post a picture of that as well when I can (I won't have access to it until the weekend)

Thanks for adding me to the club G-Dog. I started teaching myself bass when at school. Before that, my brother made himself a guitar as a woodworking project. I had a go at doing that as well. After we learnt to play them a bit, adding a bass seemed to be a next logical step (I got a cheap Jazz bass copy). After that I played lead guitar in a band. A much better guitarist than me came along but played bass. I eventually convinced him that it would be best for the band if we swapped roles. These days I mostly play bass in church. I found my Laney L50B a bit heavy to keep carrying around and when it's speaker blew up, I looked for another amp. I was introduced to the Fender Rumble 100 which I loved because I liked its 'Vintage' sound preset and because it only weighs 22 pounds.
