I've had my Rumble 40 for a while now. It really pairs well with my Classic Vibe 50's P. I've been through a lot of equipment and basses over the years and I don't think I've ever been happier with the playability of a bass and tone of an amp. It's a modest rig but the pleasure it gives is much more than the sum of it's parts. Cheers!

Your CV 50's P looks great. I had one that I put a Bass lines 1/4 pounder in and GHS Precision Flats. I keep thinking it'd be nice to get another one. The 1/4 pounder didn't really make any difference to my ears, but that was with an Acoustic B200 Combo, might make a difference with a Rumble though. My Jazz not only sounds better through the Rumble, I can get a lot of different tones from it that I couldn't get before.

This is a perfect example of the holistic nature of Gestaltist principles. I'm positive this is what drives the anti-Fender crowd insane because to them it just doesn't 'add up'.

For sure. I know it sounds weird. Maybe I got a fluke Squier P (Fender flats, nice low action, no dead spots). With the combination of the Rumble I get everything from ringing piano tones to bluesy thump. To me it's like going to your favorite restaurant, trying everything on the menu and later each time you go you find something new and exciting. Something I searched for but never experienced with a Sting signature bass and an Ampeg B100r or B50r and every pedal known to man. With the Squier and Rumble, there seems to be much more complexity and range, go figure. I'm probably just getting senile

It's that magic Rumble tone mojo you have to experience to appreciate. You don't need to understand it in order to love it. Rumble Love, Baby!

There is just sooo much to be said for a such very basic & simple rig, yet sooo soulfully satisfying.

I guess I'm still stunned, that for less than what I used to spend on one bass, you can get such a cool practice rig that sounds and plays so amazing.

I posted a review of this amp when I first got it. It replaced a GK MB 115 (15" - 200 watts). Frankly, in the places where I play, the Rumble sounds at least as good and is as loud as I will ever need. I play in coffee houses and a small theater. If there is a percussionist to play over, it's me. I couldn't have a more perfect amp. I am thrilled to read that I'm not the only one who loves this amp!

Oh~~ Sexy topless CV 50P

I got CV P, but it is 60's. I have swap the stock bridge to Fender Vintage Bridge, it make CV 60P sound overall thicker and solve the stock bridge problem of boomy loud sound from fret 9 ~ fret 16.

Oppssss.......sorry, out of the Rumble topic.

My Carvin ProBass 100-10 is about to give up the ghost so I went looking for a replacement for practicing at home. I found a used, but really good condition, Rumble 75 in a prawn shop. It was marked about ten bucks over what they paid for it, turns out, but I still got them to come down $5 on it. Got it for $125, which seems a pretty good deal. There's some slight wear on the Tolex but the electronics, save the footswitch jack that has something jammed in it, work flawlessly. Pretty darn happy with it, if I do say so. And, now I have an option to dragging out my gig rig of two 410 cabs and a 450 watt head.

anyone know what a fender rumble 150 combo amp goes for on the open market? a guy is asking 300 for the amp, a bass, and some pedal board. i was going to see if he would separate the amp out for ~$185. i need it for home practice and maybe playing with a few friends (gotta be able to keep up with a drummer).

That's a fair price if it's in very good condition. Guitar Center's used listings show $200 up to $300.

Was going to make a thread about this, but seeing as how there is a Rumble club, seems like you lot would be most knowledgable anyways. I'm looking at downsizing my cab situation, from my current 2x15 Hartke which is huge. About 50" tall, 104 lbs. I've been digging the rumble cabs in terms of price and weight. I've played the 410 at a local shop and really liked what I heard. The 410 comes out at about 64 lbs. I've been eying the 210 as well, which is closer to 34 lbs. but only $50 cheaper. I've been tossing around the idea of getting two cabs, possibly a 210 and the 115. But I've heard mixed reviews on mixed driver cabs. I've never personally owned one.

Would 2 2x10s be a better match than the 210 and 115? If I'm going to get 2 210s anyways, does it seem stupid not to get the 410 instead since its only $50 more than a 210? I feel like downgrading from a 100 lb. cab to a 63 lb. one is not that severe of one, plus the hartke is fairly easy to move due to its caster and built in dolly. I'm not weak by any means, but the whole purpose of downsizing is to make moving equipment and traveling easier, and I've not been a fan of carrying these perfectly square, heavy center of gravity type 410s. Plus I could see scenarios in which I would only want one 2x10 but some where I would ant both. Would the tone of the 2x10 be drastically different form the 4x10?

I had been patiently waiting for the new peavey 1516 to come out, but with memorial day my busy season for shows has kicked off and I struggled through 3 gigs this weekend wrestling my 2x15 around. I'm sure I can't wait around much longer, so I'm looking to make a move on these rumble cabs fairly soon.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

I used to have a mixed driver rig, Ampeg SVT-3Pro with Ampeg 4x10 over 1x15. I didn't have any problems with it. Currently I am using the Rumble 500w combo (which has 2x10" speakers) and the 210 rumble cab, so I have the vertical 4x10, basically.

It's light weight, very portable, and loud. So very loud. When it's on the Auralex platform, it's about the same height as your setup, but only about 65 lbs total. The setup as you see it here is in my bedroom, which is upstairs, so when I go to rehearsal I need to bring it downstairs, and I have no problems with that. You can't beat the light weight, and I love the tone.

As far as 210 vs 410, I haven't A/B'd the difference in cabs. I would guess the tone would be similar, but the best thing to do is try both, if possible.

lol... up to 11 only for the pic for you guys (sorry to burst that bubble). I only really play her up to 2PM on the master dial... totally loud, totally enough, totally TONE!

...this 40w "baby" shakes my house's bones

I guess there's a limiter, of sorts (how i understand it), in there... so I kinda like to high-wire it's thresh and coax that squish she's got in her . i love low watts

@BlueShox I'm in agreement with crucislancer on the Rumble 500 combo with matching Rumble 210 cabinet. Some have really liked the 500 combo on top of the Rumble 115 cab. A pair of Rumble 115 cabs would very handily replace your 215 Hartke. Do go and audition a Rumble 500 combo if you can. Even if you aren't interested in it, the 2x10 woofers + tweeter plus box size is identical to the 500 combo. You can see the size; feel the weight, and listen to speakers. You can do the same thing with the Rumble 200 combo as the 15" Eminence woofer is the very same in the combo and the Rumble 115 cabinet. Go forth and get your Rumble On!

Has anyone here had any experience with the rumble 210 cab?
