I searched, but can't seem to find a club for those of us who use and love the Fender Rumble series of amps. Any interest?
I've been playing at home with my Rumble 30 since late January and it seems to me like this amp puts out a good share for being so small! Originally I was looking at the Rumble 15 but went with the 30 because of the extra input jack, more wattage, and I read online reviews which said the 30 would be good enough to play with a band in a small venue even versus the 15 which didn't have as much bang.
Hope to hear form some fellow Rumble fans soon!
So this makes me the founding member, #1? I feel this is a big honor for someone so new on the forum!

I just bought a Rumble Stage 800 and Rumble 210 cabinet. I have to say that I am more than impressed with how clear and tight they sound. Not to mention the clarity at high volume. I'm not sure how well my neighbors enjoy me rattling the neighborhood, but I am hooked.
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.

Woo hoo! It's two-fer ... uh, ...
Casey, please use the Club's sub-thread Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800 for Rumble modeling discussions. That's just to keep this larger thread less complicated from the modeling technicalities, if you please.
How about telling us a bit about yourselves, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular? And, Shrimpy, there's bound to be a backstory to that name that we should know? Whatever your situations, you'll fit right in here since we have all kinds. But we all love to ... ...
Rumble On!

My 500 head was sitting doing nothing for a long time. I was even considering selling it. One of my bands is working on a new CD and we have been having weekly recording sessions. I had be using my Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig V2 for recording.
Last week I had left my Fly Rig at my other band's rehearsal location. I decided to use the 500 head because direct in with no DI doesn't sound that good. Hence forth I will use the 500 head. It came out with fantastic tone.
All EQ straight up and Vintage on, Gain at 3 and Volume at 3.
I love all my Rumbles. The only other amp I use is when the venue is outdoors or large enough, I will tale a Tramadol and lug in my Bassman 100T and 2 Fender 1x15s.
I also noticed we haven't been celebrating Fender Friday as we used to. Thank you, Leo.

So trying out my new Hofner Club bass through my Rumble 800HD and 112 cabinet. Great thumpy woody tone. Although the factory strings are horrible. Have to put some LaBella strings on it. Kenny was diggin the low tones!
Whoa, dude! Volume at 3 o'clock? That'll sure give the recording a strong signal!! 
Yikes! I hear and agree. Actually, speaking as a young'un to you Davy, I'd be on Tramadol for several days after moving an all tube Bassman & two 115s! Why I even get my grandsons to help if I have to take my 17 lb. hybrid Bassman 500 and one 115. 
Indeed, thanks for the reminder ... ...
Happy 7ender Friday the 13th!!!

Happy Fender the 13th! My Studio 40 has been shipped!
I'm rolling dice today. We have an outdoor gig tonight (if the rain holds out) and I'm bringing the R100. No support. No PA Support at all. So we will see if this works out or I get drowned out. Right now I don't care if I'm not that loud and maybe I'm buried but If its bad, I'll prolly get a bit frustrated. I'll let you know. I've been surprised by this baby before so we will see.
I'll tilt it back too. I'll be able to hear it.
I took my 200c on an outdoor gig recently. We'd played there b4, but always inside. I wanted to be sure I'd be heard. The 100 woulda done fine. I'll(attempt to)remember that for the next time.
The 'new' Ampeg/Yamaha Rocket Bass series combos are a remarkable effort to capture some of the Rumble market. Lotta power/light weight and affordable, esp. these days as there are few steady engagements any more. Having to move everything in, play the gig, and drag everything out, makes combo amps very desirable. According to the demos I've seen, I'll be sticking with the Rumbles for the sound I wanna put out. For those that like/want the 'peg sound, you have reasonably priced alternatives now. Have at it.
Just get two 500 combos and slave them and be done.
My Rumble 100 killed it last night. I had enough power to be heard just fine. I tilted it back and I engaged the Vintage and the Contour buttons and it sounded perfect. Plus we commanded the stage and the audience was very happy and showed its appreciation. Our tip bucket filled up with over $150 and the kids were out in abundance. They danced and they listened all night. It was really a great night. I even got to see a shooting star as I gazed up at the dark sky. What a night.
Here is a view of the stage during set up from the rear of the area we played. The rumble 100 filled the air wonderfully.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ... even if you can't quite make all the same low price and weight points. Maybe, someday, they might even make similar extension cabs for them, too! (If the combos actually sell well).

I think they will. They do look cool-kinda vintage-and there are people who love the 'baked in' 'peg sounds.
