Fender Rumble Club

OK...I finally finished reading the whole Studio/Stage thread and it looks like I'll be getting a Studio 40 with my Christmas bonus. I've been playing guitar for more than 50 years and decided to pick up bass two years ago. I'm a pastor of a small church (sanctuary seats 34) and had been leading all the worship but someone else has stepped up to do that (also playing an acoustic guitar) so that's why I decided to pick up the bass. Most of the time it is just me and her but we have an extremely talented young lady who joins us occasionally on EG. On rare occasions we have Congo's or a cajon. I've been using a Frankenstein set up of bass patches on my Roland VG-88 played through my traveling PA/amp and a 60's stereo cabinet with 15. That cab is dying and so I guess the proof-of-concept phase is over. I like the idea of modeling and don't think I'll need anything more than the 40, plus I'm in the house for video recording. So anyways that's my story. Now I just need to wait but as Tom said. "the waiting is hardest part".
As soon as I get it, I'll post up a pic.
Great avatar pic! Welcome!
 
Merry Christmas, rev! @reverendboom, you are now member 1415 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome. Put that number in your TalkBass Signature for safe keeping. Then make yourself at home here and on your Rumble Club Wiki page, the repository of all Rumbling wisdom and knowledge. Be sure to checkout the Tone App Support section with links to the Studio/Stage manual and, especially, the Droopy_TX Preset Experience with detailed descriptions and decoders of your new amp's settings! And good on ya for getting the 7-button footswitch! It'll make a lot of things much easier!

You've already found, and read(!), your Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800 club sub-thread for bass modeling discussions. Only more general Rumblings are welcome here in the main Club thread.

Good introduction, rev. You'll fit right in here since we have all kinds. But the main thing we all share is a love to ... ...

Rumble On!
.

Thanks G Dog.
 
I just love this bass rig! So does Kenny! Sounds awesome! Rumble 800HD & 210 cab.

You are going to give the gear snobs here on TB a stroke playin that Fodera thru that rig!:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

Lol. Well it sounds great! Any bass I play through that Rumble sounds Awesome! And the best part, these Rumbles are workhorses. Hundreds and hundreds of gigs and they never let me down. Can’t say that about the “ higher end” amps I have. They are always in the shop!
 
Three gigs in 24 hours over the weekend(Saturday night, Sunday morning, Sunday night). R100 for the first 2, 200c for the last but the 100 woulda been enuff-and easier to schlep. I hadn't played-except for 2 concert band rehearsals-for ~3 weeks, so fingers are a bit tired. I s'pose I could practice more.
Nah.
