Thank you for clearing that up. I will post the photos as soon as I can.
Oh, I have the same Studio40. I'm really just curious if it's factory stock. Of course, I could just take off the front cover and look, lazy me...
Haven't you ever?
Gee, that was very first what I have done.
It's like childish tearing teddy bear apart to see what's inside.

Anyone wish a tube preamp section on future Rumble V4 range (100 watts - 500watts combo ) ?
In past, the discontinued Indian made Marshall MB series already has valve preamp on their 60watts combo.

I do not. It would increase the "idle" power consumpltion of my r100 which is around 10 Watts now. Also adds maintenance requirements, complexity, extra heat to the system.
If I ever had the need to use a tube preamp, I'd use a tube preamp and connect it to the FX return of my Rumble.
As I've said before, I think the Bassman 500 is a Rumble 500 with a tube preamp (and several other bells & whistles) added. I enjoy them both for their similarities and their differences. And, as @dORSY points out, it's easy enough to add individual features with pedals, these days.
No, Yah, I'd rather keep the Rumbles humble and inexpensive while leaving the fancy stuff to the Bassman and the pedals. But that's just me.

Until then, there's this. $220 at Sweetwater. Includes variable High and Low Pass filters. Sweet. Much less expensive than a Bassman 800 head (at $1100).

Oops. While discussing the recent price increases I neglected to update the Fender Rumble vs Ampeg Rocket Bass comparison chart! So, I got to wondering if the Rumbles caught up to the Rockets in that regard. So, I updated the chart and, well, yep, the 500w 210 did. But not the others! The Rumbles are still the overall weight, price and power leaders!

Woo! L&M finally had a Rumble Studio 40 come in at for a good price on their Gear Hunter site!
I ordered it of course. I have Monday off and that's when it should arrive.

Send in pix when you've got it! Congrats.
Thanks, I certainly will! I've been loving using my Boss Katana to record. Duplicating that experience on bass is very exciting.

Congrats and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am with mine. Rumble on, my Canadian friend.

I’m a lil’ rumble boy now. Sounds like a bass amp. Love it.
Pictured with my new mint/essentially brand new 1992 AVRI ‘62. It sounds like a bass. By far the best instrument I have ever held (and most expensive thing I’ve ever purchased, sheesh). I love it so much. My father recently passed away so I really wanted to get a tribute instrument from the year he was born (62) but after I saw the prices of those I knew that wasn’t about to happen hah! Decided a reissue of that year would do JUST fine. It sounds KILLER with the rumble.
Posted a lil demo today on Instagram and might have gotten a bass gig out of it, SO it’s looking like I might actually have a place to use this stuff for real! Making some audition videos tomorrow. VERY excited.

Classic and classy rig!
Fantastic! Congrats on the gear and the potential gig, and very sorry to hear about your Dad. You're doing him proud, I'm sure.
