Greg, perhaps getting and learning the cabsim software can do what you want? I dunno. But, maybe?

These days I'm just way too busy studying up for the Grumpy Old F.

I wasn't looking for louder.For the unplugged acoustic jam next week, the Rumble 15 is plenty loud enough, but the speaker rattles whenever I play through it. I've even tried a replacement speaker. It is a perfect size, and I just wish it were up to the quality of all the other Rumbles at a much lower volume. If I had a 40, I'd take it instead, but I don't. I do know the 100 will undoubtedly do a fantastic job! Still contemplating getting a 40 someday anyway. Everyone who has one seems to love it.
Sorry your amp has the rattle. Maybe try this...render a clockwise turn on all and every single screw you can access safely on the darned thing (do this to every screw you can see without the grill installed). Don't force anything, just make sure all screws are properly turned so they can do their maximum job for you. (Careful, don't puncture or cut the speaker.) As a good 'ol bass boss from way back, I think you know what you're doing.
Hoping this helps a bit if you hadn't done it already.
Huh. Bummer. They got back to me quickly on my questions.
Did you try a second time just in case the email got lost?
I am. There's more available than I expect to ever use. A lot of Rumblers end up turning off their tweeters on the combos that have them.
If nothing else, a simple table showing Rumble model, speaker inserted, port size, and comments on the effect. Once you have a good solution for adding a Bassline SB2012 (or whatever it is), people who just want to speaker swap don't need theory, just the basic dope.

I wish I'd noticed that. I started the video at the beginning.
Played my first live gig with my stage 800. (church gig) It went well. Had to turn it down a bit, but was able to D.I. post effects out. Got a nice Bassman tone. It never cut out, or gave me any trouble.
Hello Rumble team. I just joined the club with a new Rumble 500.
I've been ampless for the last 4 years or so, my main classic rock band playing through the FOH and using in-ears. Since we own our PA this has worked great and I haven't missed having a bass amp. But we are now booking some small local festivals where we can't use our PA so I've been searching for something gigable again that can hold its own with marginal or no PA. Also will be helpful for a monthly church gig I do.
Did a lot of research, played some other brands and played a friends smaller Rumble, loved the tone, saw the reviews here on TB and decided to go ahead and pull the trigger without even playing the 500 first. I can say I'm more than satisfied so far. This thing packs a punch. First gig with it this coming Saturday. If there's still numbers being given out I'd be happy to take one.

Welcome to the club! Someone should be along with a number in the next 24 hours at worst. Very cool about the new opportunities. I also bought a Rumble unplayed and have since bout a second. Only grets, no regrets!

After a long, frustrating battle with my Rumble 15 and its annoying rattle, I think I have finally got it fixed. As someone mentioned before, I made sure every screw was tightened first. Then I crimped the connections on the speaker wires firmly and tied them up so they couldn't touch anything when it was put back together. I glued in a little foam padding on the bottom and one side. Not sure what actually helped the most, but it is now rattle free with either my Precision or Musicmaster.
Not too shabby for a little 13x13x8 particle board box. Of course it can never sound like my 100 or 200, but it is still going to get its debut at a completly unplugged acoustic guitar jam; I'll be the only one plugged in. I will report back!
It now deserves its very own picture......with the old fiddle because, “Everybody wants to get into the act!” (Jimmy Durante)

Hooray! Way to persevere, Greg! That's the Rumble spirit. I preach that Galaxy Quest motto to my grandkids all the time: "Never give up! Never surrender!"

I put my Rumble rig together from 3 used pieces.
A Rumble 350 head, a Rumble 2x8, and a Rumble 1x12. I really like this rig.
It sounds great with just a cord between bass and amp.
I'm sure I will eventually find something to try that I like like maybe a reverb pedal.

So Rumble #3 showed up today (the 2x8). I built my stack from 3 used purchases. The 112 was the roughest of the bunch but now restored.. Hec, the whole stack cost me like $600 plus the individual shippings from 3 different sellers. but well worth it.. What a sound and looking forward to trying a set of Roundwounds next on the Mustang - just for grins. The Mini P bass sounds huge through the rumble stack.
That certainly is an impressive Rumble stack, Thinny! The Rumble 350 combo and head, with the Neo cabs, were the first truly professional level solid state Rumbles, IMO. I was a 15" Bassman player who never gave the Rumbles much thought. But, I remember seeing the Rumble 350 head and cabs in a store and actually giving them serious consideration! Those Neo cabs were, surprisingly, not as lightweight as they probably could have been. In fact, I remember them feeling a bit heavier than they looked for their size which, at that time, gave the impression of 'solid' power. Yes, quite impressive, indeed!
Alas, those V2 Rumbles were only made for a few years, 2010 to 2014. Meanwhile, I had just bought my fixer-upper retirement home, moved into it and started renovations and, even after selling the previous house, I suffered from @GonePlaid's chronic condition of 'mafunzalow' while facing "The Great Unknown": retirement.
No wonder then, in 2014, a year after my successful retirement, when the Rumble 500 combo was announced (now 9 years ago!), with its super power, super light weight, super inexpensive price ($499) and super good looks, I just had to try it out! And the Rumble 500 combo definitely made a Rumble believer outta me! Hallelujah! Can I get an 'Amen?!?'
Rumble On!
