Thanks! It worked.

I have yet to play the R500C at a gig. We don't have anything scheduled until March and the practice space is a crappy sounding room.

My Rumble 115 cabs have survived severe tests, head to head, vs the Genzler BA15-3 and Ampeg Heritage 410HLF (both very fine cabs).

It goes low enough and high enough (tweeter always off), and the shape of the high rolloff suits me.

The Rumble 115 "designer's intent" (borrowing from another current thread) must have been exactly what I wanted. My good luck.

Wow! Even up against the Genzler BA15-3Ge! Pretty high bar there, in my opinion. I often wish I hadn't let my Rumble 115 go.

The Rumble 115 is a mighty fine bass cabinet. Cannot be beat for its sound, size/weight, or price! And matching against those other fine cabs…Fender Rumble 115 awesomeness!

I often wish I hadn't let my Rumble 115 go.

I bought my first Rumble 115 three and a half years ago, sold it, bought another about two and a half years ago and now own two.

They were at $399 for a long time but are back to $299 now.

Letty! and/or, Toney! So glad you came back!! @LetItGrowTone, you are now member #1568 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.

I apologize for not inducting you after your previous posts. That's when I erroneously thought a photo of your Rumble was required. Although, if you ever wanna post a Rumble pic, please do! We love 'em!! So, how 'bout telling us a bit about yourself, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular? You're already fitting right in here. So, you know, we all love to ... ... ...

Rumble On!

Finally, the R115 is getting some love! lol

Here’s my (latest*) Rumble 200 atop the R115. This setup is powerful/full/loud enough for an outdoor urban street fair type gig, campus auditorium, etc without PA support. Tone wise, I am not really happy with what the controls offer but it is a learning process for now. I do know it is in a breaking in period. Things can change down the line - Bringing in pedals, swapping pickups, changing basses, etc. I’m really going to give this R200 a long chance.

The journey started just before Thanksgiving.
1) ordered a Rumble 500, but it was delivered late due to snafus, delays, etc
2) Rumble 200s came on sale at $347.00! (Sweetwater) Ordered one.
3) Rumble 500 arrives, and I promptly send it back unopened.
4) Rumble 200 arrives, but the fan noise and sssshhhhh sound coming from amp makes it unusable for me. I do have one practice session with it (loud enough!), and return it the next morning.
5) Second Rumble 200 arrives and this one is quiet and tame. Hook it up to my R-115 and it is a go. The combo (w/o the extension) is very adequate playing with heavy handed drummer and loud guitarist. A second guitarist should be coming back from vacation soon. The combo by itself will not have any problems power wise.

Merry Christmas, and…

Outstanding!

I have hooked up my Ampeg PF20T to my Rumble 115 cab and it sounded awesome until my wife said it was rattling the walls and china. It's only 20 watts and wasn't turned up. I hope one day I can play out with it, the PF112 and PF500.

It was dangerous cranking one R100 in the Room of Requirement. I can't even come close to cranking two. The walls would fall off the walls.

Very 'studly'.

I have my suspicions but, what is the "Room of Requirement"?

 

[LetItGrowTone]

He could tell you but then he'd have to, you know.

 

[LetItGrowTone]

It sounds like that's the room he fills with "50 Shades of" blue. Or is it brown?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Same as at Hogwarts but sans magic. You have to know the secret to access it, and it can be whatever you need it to be. Like a practice room, a puzzle room, a spare bedroom, overflow dining room, counseling office, you name it.

Plaid.

I've been very lucky with my R100 (I've owned them all from 200 Watts down to the R15). I used to play medium size to large size bars with the R200. I ended that career when I retired. In my community, I joined a newly re-formed band. I'm using the R100. At first I sent a Line Out to the PA (800 capacity auditorium; decent sound system but not excessively loud). We have a dedicated, experienced sound man. The acoustics are boomy in that building so now I don't send a signal to the PA. I use a wedge under the amp to tilt it towards my ears. I set the amp to 10-2-2-10 and adjust the bass I'm using to suit (never wide open Vol or Tone). This works great and makes life simple too. I've got all the volume I need using the amp with no reinforcements. Life is good. When we play at other venues, same setup.

I started with the 200c, the 100 is my 'newest' and now most used. The 200c borders on too much for the "service" clubs we mostly play(Elks, VFW, American Legion, etc. with our crowd being 55 y/o+). Still love the 200c's sound, tho.

I rediscovered this tonight. It's a little demo featuring the 67 Thunderbird>EHX Micro POG>THE KASINO!
