Fender Rumble Club

I would like to recognize @G-Dog for his exemplary management of this group. It has been around longer than any other group with a caretaker. Many others no longer have someone who is as committed to and passionate about the Fender Rumbles as he has. The Wiki pages he has spent many hours on are as good as it gets.
Thank you, my friend.
But, I think I still own more Rumble equipment than anyone here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Rumble 40c
Rumble 100c
Rumble 500 head
Rumble 2x10 cab
Before I sold the R112 cab, I had it plus R40, R100, and R200c and also Bassman 25. Might get a second R100.
 
I didn't include my Bassman stuff:
100T head
500 hybrid
2 1x15 neo cabs
oh, and a Blackstar Bass. I need this because the bathroom is small.
Not to get into a "spitting"(?) contest, I bought Rumbles b/c I got tired of schlepping big [stuff] but I still have (some of) them.

Sorry, didn't intend a spissing contest. Just messing around. I only use the big stuff for outdoor gigs.
One band I'm with has gone ampless. I like not having to schelp a bunch of gear, but I don't think I get enough control over my sound. BL controls the board and always EQs my dull and flat. I've tried to talk to him about that, but he gives me a blank look like he doesn't understand.

Take one of the 'big rigs' and tell him "I wanna sound like that".

On a somewhat serious note, could you use a DI to get your sound enuff like you want it that he can't totally ruin it?


Hey, Gravy! You gotcher DI, righ'chere:

Mv, we needa see a pic of those, please! :woot: If you've already posted them, I looked but didn't find it. :unsure:
.
G-Dog, you’re right, I don’t think I’ve ever posted a pic of all of them together, and actually I doubt I’ve ever taken such a photo. But I promise, I’ll take and post such a picture soon.

But unfortunately you’ll have to wait some time, as my 200 is now in our rehearsal place. The 500 and the two 100:s are at home, but I want to have them all in the picture…:woot:

As a teaser, here is the 200 and the 500, daisy chained:). Pic taken during setup for a gig a few weeks ago.
