NRSD (New Rumble Stack Day)

I present for your viewing pleasure, my new Rumble stack. Rumble 500c V3 and Rumble 210 cab. The combo alone will cover all I need, but got a good deal, so why not get the ext cab, right ? Love everything about this rig, except some poor design work by Fender... despite being exactly the same size, the rubber feet on the combo sit on top of the screws of the cab corner protectors. The feet need to be at least an inch further in to clear this. I'm just OCD enough, that this is going to bug me. At some point, I'll remove the feet and relocate them (see the pic).

Next to my Yamaha 5-er, for size comparison...

Enjoy!

I love my 500c plus 210 together. Definitely plenty of low end available, as well as decent punch & tightness.

I've not even noticed the rubber feet 'issue'! So can't say it ever bothered me..... But now I'm aware of it.... :woot::mad::(

Hahaha! I was thinking that he might be able to turn the volume DOWN from a 25 with the 40 thanks to the better tone, but I didn’t see it THAT way, lol

When I was looking around for a bass and amp, my wife didn't understand why I needed a 'bass' amp, since I already had a 'guitar' amp. She understood when I explained that a bass would ruin my guitar amp, but I don't dare tell her I can play my guitars through my Rumble!

We have a small house so she's cool with me upgrading to the R40 as long as I sell my R25. Deal! I checked the various online sites (ebay, fb, reverb) and there are quite a lot of 25s for sale, so I'm going to see what Guitar Center will give me for it. If you trade-in and buy more gear from them you can get 10% off. Anyone have any experience with GC trade-ins? Anyone want to buy a lightly used, mint condition R25 for cheap? :)

My Rumble live in action! We got a Fender American Deluxe Zone Bass going through a MXR Bass Envelope Filter > VSN Chorus > TC Electronic SpectraComp Compressor > Rumble 800HD Head > Rumble 210 Cabinet

Nice job! I love that you proudly rock your Rumbles, and show how truly great they sound! I do the same, and am really happy with my tone and how light and loud they are! Carry in the combo in one hand and the 210 ext cab in the other...love it! AND I can use just the combo for most gigs if I want. Best money Ive ever spent! Im glad Kenny approves too ;)

I'm so glad you guys told me about the flat EQ setting a couple weeks back. I've modified it a lil bit on my 800 HD ... ... Does that auto compression also work when the overdrive circuit is engaged?

Yo, dogg! My guess is, yes, since the dynamic compressor Delta-Comp circuit is always on, then it is always at work protecting your Rumble.

Here's what the Rumble Talk about the Delta-Comp says. Hope it helps.

Saw this on Reverb(N/A). Nearly 1/2 again what they cost originally. Fender Rumble 200 V3 200-Watt Bass Amp Head | Reverb
Also this: Fender Rumble 500 v3 Bass Amplifier Head | eBay

A lot of good effects pedals are like that when they quit making them. Like the old saying goes, "It's worth whatever someone will pay." If you've had your old Thunderbird for years, it has sure gone up! So has my 78 Musicmaster. Just the original case is worth almost what I paid for it with the bass in it.

Good thing you didn't buy the original first tweet NFT for $2+ million. The buyer tried to sell it, but his best offer was a couple of hundred bucks. He was asking $47 million. :roflmao:

I'll be using my R40 on gigs tonight and tomorrow night.

So. Last night(Friday)with the EB-0>R40 went fine. It's a smallish room with low ceilings and the older crowd doesn't want LOUD. This evening's gig may not happen: A)-outside Tiki bar; 2)-T'storms in the forecast. We shall see...

Yeah. You don't want to have happen to you what happened to this guy.

[EDIT: There's a more complete YT clip that shows what happens when gunfire sets off the fire sprinkler system, but the dialog would probably get me banned. Again.]
