Fender Rumble Club

The Rumble at Saturday's juke joint gig.

Got some audio/video you can share?
unfortunately not from this one.
actually had a hard time that night, where i stood the bass was a boomy mess, hardly heard any definition. also a bit too close to hihats. walking in front (as i usually do) bass was not overpowered at all, felt "right", not boomy at all. but was hard to tell 'cause of ear fatigue. had no bad feedback from the audience tough.

OMG, I think I have a Fender Rumble addiction! Just bought another one for the collection. So now I got:

(1) Rumble 100 Combo (newest one)
(1) Rumble 500 Combo
(1) Rumble 800HD Head
(1) Rumble 112 Cabinet
(2) Rumble 210 Cabinets

Where will it end?

During rehearsal last night, where the guitarists actually turned down a bit, the singer asked me to turn UP! I may need to add a 210 cabinet when the guitarists actually use their stage amps as opposed to their little practice amps.
 
My dream? A 200 combo + 210 cab in brownface, like my first bass amp, a used '64 Bassman I bought in '67.


How long 'til you start replacing your Rumbles from the move, Maarti? Maybe you can find some local olde world craftsman to apply the brownface look. :)

Next June at the earliest, when my house is built and I can move in. I'm currently renting the lower level of a house from a lovely lady, whose TV I can hear. Until then, I'll be playing through my audio interface with headphones and one of the bass amp sims I own. I use Gig Performer to host them, so i don't have to load Studio One Pro.
