I jumped on during the V3 wave. I am not as OG as those of you who got into Rumbles when they still had metal grilles.Happy Second Anniversary Fender Rumble Club!!!
Two years ago Bumble Bee very timidly brought the Fender Rumble Club into existence. One by one we came out and admitted to the world that we owned Fender Rumbles, and even worse that we loved them. The first six months was kind of rough but the our club survived, and now we Thrive!
Last year at our first anniversary we had just gone over 100 members. eudiamonia of Germany is member 99 and was first to get one of the new V3 Rumbles, and in his case it was a Rumble 500 head and 115 cabinet.
Just like the story of the Fender Rumble line itself our club has been witness to explosive growth. Going from just over 100 members last year to just over 400 members for an incredible 300% growth rate year-over-year. Our membership comes from all walks of life and social strata and from many different nations. Just as the Fender Rumble has become a global phenomenon, so too has our club welcomed all comers without prejudice.
This is your club, and you have made it what it is today. Hold your heads high and be proud of yourselves, and your Rumbles. As Always,
Rumble On!
I have not really been playing my V3 500 combo since I got my Aguilar mini stack, but I've been playing my V3 40W at home non-stop. It is such a good home amp and sounds so good. Best practice amp in the world, no doubt about it.
Yeah, the 40's are amazing little amps. Great tone and clarity. And they're loud enough for certain small gigs.
You are more than welcome here, Captain Chaos!

You don't need a cart and you don't have to walk ten miles.
Rumbles Rule! 
I still got a Demon in my heart !!!! Will swipe my creadit card for Rumble 100 V3 this Sunday!!
Thanks for the suggestions/advice guys. I've yet to own any bass cabs loaded with neos or 15s for that matter, so this will be my first experience. My band practices in a garage that for some reason eats low frequencies for breakfast. I've always have a hard time being heard over my guitarists Orange TH100 and a heavy handed drummer. I guess we'll see.
OK, done. Some musicians are very EQ challenged, and just need a bit of guidance.
Wow, 250 pages.
I just have one question as a new bass player (mainly a drummer). The 500 sounds like the way to go, but can it be used at home too? Or does it just completely not work operating this thing at low volumes? I'd rather not buy two amps and the local GC only has a 200 available to demo.
I'm not going to be playing at night with kids sleeping or anything (headphones for that), but after work and on weekends, I'd like to be able to flip this thing on and get usable tone without blowing out my windows or the the neighbors. (I have a '14 American Standard P-bass)

A Rumble 200 combo will do you proud every time! It will easily keep up with drums, and is purely capable of playing bar gigs. If you're not going to be jamming with anyone anytime soon, the Rumble 40 is a perfect personal practice amp.

I have the the 500 combo and it works perfectly fine at low volumes for practicing alone.

Oh! Ho! Ho!
I Know that ROCKS! Well Bodeanly, you've done that right thing and come to the right place 
Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, you are member #404 Rumbles Rock! 
I have the 500 head and getting a decent low volume just isn't happening. My Master knob is a little scratchy until 8 o'clock, then the house shakes.
True. The gain is just that. Gain. It is not a channel volume. Think of it as clean boost. It also effects how much of your voicing options you get to include the Overdrive. Just use your master for volume. Add gain to taste later. For low volume situations you might not use it at all.But then the house doesn't shake!
