It's a Weinstein-Docent bridge.Cool! I wish I had some clever, creative way to explain away my "Rumbke".(sigh)

I’m trying to replace the horn driver in my rumble 410 and can’t find an FBT-1 online in stock. Would an eminence apt50 do the trick? Anyone have experience with this? The rumble horns seem to go out if you use them too much (ironic too because I play guitar through my rumble not bass)
party time (hollowbody in the mid is not mine, just passing by) all sound great through an r100 
I'd think if it fits (or retrofits), it should work. It has a slightly wider frequency range, 3,500-20,000hz instead of 4,000-20,000hz. 45 watts instead of 50, but that shouldn't matter unless you run it full volume. I couldn't find anything better, either. If it screws right into the stock horn, perfect. If not, you'd need to buy it with a horn and possibly retrofit it. It's a shame Fender isn't stocking something so basic, since horns can fail. If you do get one, be sure to let us here in the Rumble Club know how it works out for you.

I may have something for you.
In my native Dutch, nouns can often be turned into diminutives by making them end in "-je" or "-ke".
These diminutives can be used simply to denote something small, but also as terms of endearment.
(But be careful: they can also be used dismissively, especially by male chauvinists downplaying women's achievements.)
Hmm. Interesting. In Japanese(which I used to be semi-fluent in-in my Navy days, 55 years ago), you asked a question by making a statement and adding "desu ka"(pronounced des'ka).
Thus my mighty Rumble 500 combo and my chameleonic Rumble Studio 40 become my beloved Dutch Rumbkes! Neither have anything to be dismissive about, unless its their lack of gravitious weight though their sounds be filled with gravitas.
I love it! Thank you for this, instrumentalist.

Everything sounds good through an r100...
Well, except maybe

Strings too tight?
Forgot to post in advance: Gig last night, St. Patrick's Day dinner/dance @ Knights of Columbus hall. So-so crowd(older folks still afraid to go out), but they love us there. The guy who books us calls us 'the house band'. 'Nother gig tonight at a place that's tight on space and $ so it's my turn to be off. Might go sit in on sax/flute as it's only ~1 1/2 miles from me.
Fed up with my old, heavy (and failing) GK/Peavey head/cab, I just purchased a rumble 500 combo. I have a few questions. It sounds great at low/medium volumes. I just had a chance to push it a bit more...I think I had a tad bit of break up; should I reduce the gain and increase the master, or vice versa? The overdrive is not engaged. Is there a break-in period... will things even out? Am I hearing limits of the 210s and might I need to add a 15 extension cab?

Hi, Jordy! Nice rig. @Jordac, you are now member #1458 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome. Please 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.
Your perceived "break up" could, of course, be too much gain. But it could also be many other interactions between the controls. Be sure to read the control descriptions in the Rumble manual. I've not heard of a break-in period, as I have experienced with some others. There are also many tone tips and instructions on Gain Structure in the Rumble Talks section of your wiki to help familiarize you with these great amps.
Please let us know a bit about yourself, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular. Whatever your situation you're bound to fit right in here since we have all kinds. But we all love to ... ...
Rumble On!

Wow, great information over at the Wiki about settings and gain structure. Just what I needed. Thanks for the introduction!
I've been playing for a long time, off an on. That Peavey Foundation bass in my picture was my second bass, purchased new in 1985, when I was in high school. I seem to go through a decade on/decade off pattern as a player, not sure why...life, work, etc. I play rock, experimental jazz and am shedding more traditional jazz chart reading/walking these days.
First and foremost: welcome to TalkBass!!!
By the way, that's an interesting avatar pic you have.

Oh, whatever floats your boat. But yeah, life happens, doesn't it? Well, enjoy your basses and your Rumble!
I have a Rumble 500 and 200 being delivered this week.
I want to buy an extension cab I can use with either the 500 or the 200.
I’m looking at the Rumble 1x15 or 2x10 extension cabs, which would be the best pick between the two ?
Thanks in advance for any help, opinions and advice.
Cheers, Davyo

I've never tried the 500, but I have a 200 and I've had the 115 cab. The 115 pairs with the 200 amazingly well because of the coupling effect when you run two of the same speaker together. Since it is a 300 watt cab, it could handle it, and the Rumbles all seem to play well together. That is what I'd get, but others with the 500 will have more experience with that and will surely offer more insight. You can also daisy chain the 200 and 500 for a total of 490 watts and have two tens and a fifteen with just the two amps. It works surprisingly well with my 100 and 200 together!
