Fender Rumble Club

I think I'd prefer the taller stack, myself. :cool:

Agree.

Not exactly the same, but there's an ad semi-locally here with a Stage 800 and a 210 extension cab for sale for $1k. Standing all, these things are intimidating, but that may also be because I know how loud a Stage 800 is without an extension cab!

Oh, yeah, not exactly the same, but I'm quite sure the Stage + 210 could do a very accurate impression of the R800HD + 2 x 210s

May I have a number, please? :hyper:


Yes, you certainly may have a number, ma'am. @Ramana, you are now member #1388 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome. Please put your number in your TalkBass Signature for safe keeping. Make yourself at home here and on your Rumble Club Wiki page, repository of all Rumbling wisdom and knowledge.

Rami, I see you're a long time member of TB. Please tell us a bit more about yourself, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular. You're certain to fit right in here since we have all kinds. And we all love to ... ...

Rumble On!

My Zoom B3 manual said to put the effects unit between the bass and the amp input (rather than in the effects loop). Is that what you do, too?
Yep, I've tried it through the effects loop but it seems to sound as good/better through the main input and is simpler from a wiring standpoint. I have a couple of the older Zoom B1on pedals (I use in a different part of the house with other bass amps and I use them the same way. Seems to work fine....I also play acoustic six string guitar and my electrics through the Rumble 100 (and LT25, too many amps, they left me alone with a credit card in my old age, oh well) and they sound good to me, with the Zoom on for reverb and such or completely off. Cheers

Yayy! Thank you! My first TB club number! :hyper:

About me: I've always loved Greg Lake and KC/ELP, and along with my memorization of the lyrics and melodies of about a 1000 radio songs from the 60s-70s-80s, and my love of Spanish guitar works, inspired me to start on voice and classical guitar (currently have a Yamaha CN525E). Then late 80s - early 90s, I hooked up with the virtuoso musician, Dirk Douglas, who sold me my Korg M1 sequencer, and I helped him with some keyboard parts on his gigs. In 1990 my friend picked out my P-Lyte for me, and I finally got started on bass. But he passed away, and then life kept me from doing much music for many years. In 2013 I committed to my bucket list and joined Scott's Bass Lessons, a very worthwhile campus. I learned blues and jazz, and I generally like to play loungey chillout, nujazz, prog rock, and jazz ballads. I haven't gigged for decades, I play at home for fun, but recently my husband has decided to commit to guitar (waiting for delivery -- and he's thought about taking up drums, as well), so with him we will be a practice group for fun, and maybe with finding another one or two, we might eventually do some light gigs.

Before the Rumble, for years I was using my B3 into Bose powered monitors. I researched a lot of amps and decided on the Rumble, and I am very, very pleased with it. I picked the R100 because I thought that power would be right for practice, and even as a stage monitor, or maybe even by itself for small gigs, and I felt that for practice, the 12" speaker would be better than a potentially boomy 15" rattling the floorboards. And I wanted a fairly uncolored amp since I do all my tone shaping with the B3, and this one fits just right, and is lightweight, too!

Thanks SO much for sharing, Rami! Sheesh, that Yammy classical my web search pulled up with that model number is quite stunning to look at. I bet it sounds even better!! And an impressive resumé, to boot. ;)

Very glad you found your Rumble, and us. Welcome, again. And good luck with your practice group! :thumbsup:
