Fender Rumble Club

[Slaphound]

So I have a Rumble 500 Head and a 1x15 Rumble Cab. I just picked up a Rumble 210 Cab.

When unboxing the 210, I noticed that it had rubber grommets under the cab. My 115 has casters. I checked and I guess that is how they come. BTW, I think I like the grommets better than the casters since I don't roll the cab, I carry it.

Now me. I have the 500 head and a 115 and I'm considering an extension cab. I prefer the casters on the 115 even though I did want the 210 cab (because I considered getting the 500 combo). I haven't gotten anything yet but I'm probably going to end up with another 115 with casters when the time arrives. I just like pushing and rolling the cab. It does add about 2-3 pounds at least to the overall weight of the cab.

Very, very sexy bass. I think that is one of the nicest setups I've seen. I'm not someone who has embraced the Ibanez brand much but you found a nice one. Do you like the tone? Feel?

Very nice old school tone. Have GHS Precision Flats on it. I originally had a Hofner Club bass, but the string spacing was too narrow. It’s 19mm on the Ibanez. It’s pretty much a one trick pony. But does that trick extremely well. Plays nice too. Not like my Fodera, but works great for the tunes my band plays. Lot of blues, swing and okd school rock and roll.

Am currently playing through a modern Kustom 100-watt combo, but would like something that could put out some ‘chest-thumping’ bass if needed. Thinking about a Rumble 500, as it’s got power with lighter weight. Am I headed in the right direction?

A Rumble Stage 800 can produce 500 watts, but a Rumble 500 can not make 800 watts.

I don’t think I mentioned 800 watts. Just wondering about the Rumble 500 combo.

My mistake, I thought you asked if you were headed in the right direction.

Ah! I get it now! ;-)

Whoa! That’s a grand!

I gig everywhere with a Rumble 500c. Hit the vintage button and EQ to taste.

It’s as every bit as good as my Genz Benz gear.

I have the 2x10 cab under my 200C. I disconnected the 2x10 cab for at home playing. The 2nd cab is just too much for my man cave and our house in general. But it looks very good!!!

 

[Deleted member 268085]

Yes, Poly, that's the way they come. Since the 115 & 410 cabs are bigger and heavier they come with casters. But you can remove them by just pulling straight out, I believe, then pop 'em back in, too. Go ahead and add some rubber feet to your 115, if you want to. ​

Used to need a kidney belt for moving an Ampeg 'Fridge. Now, I'd need one for moving a 410. Pretty soon, I'll need one just for tying my shoes.

It is also the Stage, so it has all the modeling wizardry stuff in it. GDog can explain. I have never owned a modeling amp.

Yes, ruta, baby, the Rumble 500 combo will definitely get you into 'chest-thumping' territory. At just 36.5 lb.s, and up to 350 watts by itself, it's a very powerful amp with a very good range of voicing filters and tones. My R500c has been my big gun for 7 years now, and I have never really needed an extension cab for the additional 150 watts, but tried it a couple times, anyway. Wow! What a rig!

The Rumble 200 combo might be a bit more than your Kustom, but at 140 watts it's not not much more unless you add an extension cab for the whole 200 watts, which has been know to thump a chest or two!

The aforementioned Rumble Stage 800 is similar to the 500, but much more so! Same size, but 39 lb.s and up to 400 watts alone. Plus its digital amp includes modeled voices of lots of different bass amps, cabs and effects. Plus, with one or two 8 ohm extension cabs it cab get up to 800 watts. That'll thump your whole body, from the chest on out!

You can check out the whole Rumble line in this chart of features for quick reference. Hope this helps.

Here are some casters that work with the 210

Thanks for the chart, G-Dog! I took a screenshot to have as handy reference.

Yes, and those casters look like, once installed, they are easily removable and put back on again! I think that's what come on the 115 and 410 cabs, too.

Although, I've never heard of anyone adding casters to a 210 cab. But, the older I get, the more I might want to add them to my Rumble 500 combo!

I found the cabinets not that heavy but bulky so I added the removable casters to both my 500 combo and 210. The older I get the more I like to roll when I rock.

How's that work exactly? Remove the rubber feet and drill holes where they were? Any issue(s) you faced? Inquiring minds...

Reason I ask is...I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. Put me around power tools, and I can do real damage really fast.

Played an open air show yesterday first time with the Rumble 115. Powered by my trusty Yamaha B100-115SE head (hijacked from the 90-pound combo). A 40 year old head paired with a very recent cab pushing the P-bass (round wounds with foam muting). Tone was thick and woody, very warm. The Yamaha puts out that vintage vibe; the Rumble 115 continues to impress. The switch for the cabinet's horn is set/kept on 'Full'. Granted the performance and material (Boomer covers) do not call for high volume but the 15 never breaks a sweat, etc. I kept a middle of the road tone (dials mostly flat) leaning just a bit more on the treble for a little more 'cut'. The P-bass is naturally very bass heavy.

For the ease of transport (light weight and wheels), sound quality and size the Rumble 115 (I'm a '15' guy) has got to be one of the best $bargains$ on the market for a 15" cabinet.

Make sure the rubber feet are mounted in the screw hole for the silver corner protectors (see photos). Position the caster mount centers at 2 1/4 inches from the front. Drill a 1/2 hole for the mount to fit in to. Mark your drill bit with a piece of tape for the depth of the hole. You will to hammer the mounts into the hole. Secure with short screws I used 1 inch sheet rock screws. Repeat for the other three casters. See photos for examples.

Happy Rolling and Rumble On!
