If you don’t mind - what’s with the electrical tape on the control knob on the 4-string?

That volume knob potentiometer needs fixed or replaced as it only works at full. A millimetre off and it kills the signal. I'll take care of that this week. Electrical tape is a simple hack in the meantime

I wouldn't be a real Canadian if I was out of duct tape and didn't have at least one Traynor/Yorkville combo in the house!

I so wanted a Traynor bass amp(head/cab)in 76, but the only store in Miami that had them wouldn't 'move' on price.

Howdy folks!
Just picked up a Rumble 800 today. Great amp! Just have to get used to the 2x10 configuration versus the 1x15 I am used to with the Traynor on the left of the picture below. That Traynor is actually a Godly little combo (especially to a Canadian like myself) that produces enough low end to warrant a visit from a seismologist. Is all that low end really necessary is the question when considering what we supposedly lose in a single 1x15. Surely speaker size alone doesn't mean the world when so many other things are at play.

I started playing bass in 2001, then almost immediately became a drummer by default. Then in 2017 I got into electric guitar for several years, and now more recently I finally picked the bass back up. Immediately recalled why I loved it so much.
Anywho, since I last looked into it, the OG 1x15 config might not be considered as practical as it once was, and that Traynor lacks an ext out for a 2x10 cab. There was a Rumble 800 nearby so I quickly snatched it up. It's nice to know I can add a 15" to it down the road if need be. This amp definitely is of an entirely different flavor than the Traynor, and it seems like it will definitely make more sense on stage.

Currently playing around with the options the amp offers, such as the vintage switch. I certainly dig the sounds I am getting from it.

Finally, no I don't normally lean my instruments against the amps like that. Just for photos!

Howdy, Dip, eh? @Dipaolo, you are now member #1722 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.

That's a pretty good introduction of yourself there, for a hoser, eh? You'll fit right in here since we have all kinds. But we all love to ... ... ...

Good thing these Rumbles are light beasts, huh?

I had a Peavey TKO 65W back in the day. Compared to that, this rumble may as well be proper air..

I missed seeing the Rumble. Something else(x4)had my undivided attention.

OK, OK. I finally sub'd their YT channel.

My BassRumbMan stack looked like that in some low-res photos sometimes.

Kind of the same spotting, if it's good enuff for Joe, it might be good enuff for me!

Definitely drugs. That is one creepy Captain Jack Sparrow.

Yeah, I can see Cap'n Jack Sparrah there. Maybe it's the hair.

But, being of the older persuasion, I was reminded of Doug Henning!

Not much less disturbing

Just got myself a really nice used Rumble 500! $300 bucks for it! I can only say this is one of the best combo bass amps I’ve tried! It sounds amazing! I was kinda skeptical about the 2x10’s being a 1x15 fan, but it’s s super tight, punchy and surprisingly a lot of low end! The push buttons for modeling your sound are so usefull, and heck I even liked the distortion in this thing. I see myself using it just by itself, without my pedalboard, but heard that it takes pedals very well…speaking of that, how do you rumble owners find yourself using pedals, straight to the input or using the effects loop? I honestly never use the effects loop of an amp. Thanks!

Just for the record, I picked up another 100 cuz, well, like, ya never know...
