I piggyback my rumble 40s di out to my rumble 200s effects return and the combination is pretty incredible in tone and volume.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement screen for a Fender Rumble 410 cabinet?

Yep. Seems to be a total DIY project. The question has been asked, but nobody I know has found a source to repair or replace the grille of an amp for us.

If your frame is still intact, you can replace the fabric with the fabric Souly suggests. If your frame is broken, look for a local woodworker. Some have made a new frame and added their own fabric. It doesn't appear to be too hard (except for me).

Not defective, just the speakers not holding up. I personally think they over rated for what they really are, as in they are rated for more watts than they can really handle. I've had the first cab since 2015 or 16. And the 2nd since 2018 or 19. And I play the Rumble 500 head through them.

I think its the use of heavy Fuzz ( for 1 song) and Dirty Boost that has been pushing the speakers too far. Plus we use to play a lot of places with no PA support outside of vocals and maybe kick. So I don't think the speakers can take that much.

The old cab my buddy borrowed had the first replacement speaker in it From Fender, the one pulled out of a dead combo. But I knew the speakers were getting ready to go, they seemed to have rub happening. And the 2nd cab is starting to sound like that now. My buddy uses a TON of Treble with his Jazz and a finger player. I mainly use flats on my P with 90% fingers with a lot of heavy lows. The 1st cab just sounds like distorted flub at low volume now, 2nd only when turn up to gigging volume.

There is probably a 100 or so gigs on the 1st cab. I used 1 cab and the 500 head for long bit, but then split duty with my GK MB212ii combo for the rest of the time AND added the 2nd cab to help make everything sound bigger and less push on each cab (sounds amazing). All gigs this year have been my Bassman 500 and Bassman Pro410 cab. (Played our 1st gig this year last month and only a few since)

I was going to do the speaker swap to try them out some time ago, but then world imploded and I kinda just left my gear alone outside of fussing with pedals via headphones at home and practicing the same way. It ws only now that we released our first album and got back to playing out a bit, that I even remembered the speaker swap. I didn't even see my band mates for a year and half. The bass and drums were done pre pandemic and they rest was done mostly remotely during. I was suppose to re-record a couple tracks, but that never happened. Ended up with my live track with the drums. We did the drums and bass live in a single afternoon. So a lot of what I was doing was the less is more for that with the intention to redo some. Oh well.

Calling all Rumble 210 users, that is 210 cabs, Rumble 500 combo and Rumble Stage 800 combo users! Please let us know of any problems with these 10" speakers not holding up.

I've not read of this problem before, certainly not to this extent. If there is a systemic problem with the 500 running them, seems it would be even worse with the 800 (either Stage or HD). Please advise!

Oh dear, I seem to be wading in right in the middle of a key conversation. Just bought myself a Rumble amp, and was advised I should find my way over here!

Just snagged a Rumble 40 for rehearsing, after trying a couple Rumbles, and realizing the bigger speaker, and more flexible EQ made it more appealing than the 15 or 25w versions. Love how stupidly light this little combo is.

I just noticed the amp comes with a footswitch jack on the back. I assume that's for the OD circuit? As well, any of you fine folks know which specific footswitch I'd need for this amp? Fender seems to have a million, and they each only work for one specific amp...

EDIT: Oh yeah... photo evidence to prove I'm on the level!

I have a Rumble 40, too. The foot switch isn’t proprietary; any latching (vs. momentary) footswitch will do. Fender offers a relatively cheap one, though:

Welcome to the club! I use this Fender footswitch. It's not their least expensive, but I like the weight of it. Very solid. And, yes, it's for the OD circuit. But that's NOT what some of us use it for. Turn both OD knobs fully counterclockwise, and the footswitch acts like a MUTE! Very handy.

Ha-a-a-ang on, sloppy! sloppy, hang on! Yeah! (yeah!) Yeah! (yeah!) No worries. Always a good time to welcome a new member!

@sloppy_phil, you are now member #1389 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome to TalkBass in general and to The Club in particular. Make yourself at home here and on your Rumble Club Wiki page, the repository of all Rumbling wisdom and knowledge, such as the Rumble Compatible Footswitches section you may be interested in.

Aha! I see some of our very helpful Rumblers have already recommended some footswitches, (and its super-secret muting functionality, which is just one of many tips, tricks & trivia in the Rumble Talks section of the Wiki)!

Well, sloppy, any relation to the famous "joe" of a similar name? How about telling us a bit about yourself, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular? Whatever your situation you're sure to fit right in here since we have all kinds. But we all love to ... ...

Rumble On!

I bought a 4-Button Footswitch for my Studio 40. Don't know why. Haven't used it yet...maybe I will find out when I connect it :wacky:.

Here is something that came to my mind today. I got LT25 as a home practice amp. I wanted modeling amp to play a little with different amps and effects. Loving some of the presets and I wish I could use them with the band.
Obviously 25 watts won’t do it so is there any way I can hook it up to the 500 v3 combo?
Because LT25 doesn’t have DI here is what I was thinking. Not sure it will work and I rather ask someone here first before I blow something up.
So here is the chain:
1. Bass —> LT25 input—>LT25 headphone jack —> 500 v3 combo AUX

2. Bass —> LT25 input—>LT25 headphone jack —> 500 v3 combo Effects Return

3. Bass —> LT25 input—>LT25 headphone jack —> 500 v3 combo Instrument Input

4. Bass —> LT25 input—>LT25 USB —> ??? —> 500 v3 combo ????
