Hope you are staying safe from those floods in Texas, Miles...I notice you live not that far from Austin..which is a Sister City to my hometown of Adelaide South Aust. Anyone affected by the horrendous Texas floods...we are thinking of you here in Australia and praying for your safety...Australia, a country that also is affected by terrible flooding at times. Stay safe all those affected by this tragedy.

Thanks, Giffy. I have a nephew, and his wife, that live just 4-5 blocks from the main river that flooded!!! But, fortunately, his house was safe. But he hasn't heard how all his local friends fared, yet. Yes, it's been horrendous.

A purchase I made a couple months ago. Fender pick-shaped leather coasters (4). I don't wanna spoil them by putting drink glasses on them so mounted them on the foam backing loll. I have a couple of Fender stools I keep at the small bar in the family room so I keep them on top of the bar as decoration.
ps. The picture with the glass was from the net showing comparative size of the coasters.

Well I added to my existing Rumble 100. I did some mods to the 100 also, new speaker, extra foam and added connections to use the speaker with another amp.

So I bought a Rumble 800 head and that worked nice with the 100 cabinet for small stuff. So now I bought a Rumble 2x10 cabinet for larger stuff. so I think I can cover about any size gig.

Here is a pic.

Hey Rumbler's - can you buy black speaker cloth without going to Fender to match the 2x10 - thanks

Best speaker cloth you can buy is "Pet Screen" for windows and patio door screens. Indestructible! I work in a hardware store that does window screen repair. I used it on my fEARful 15/6 and other cabs. You absolutely cannot tear it.

This is a pic of it on my old fEARful 15/6 with regular metal grills on my 110/6's to the right...

I guess you keep the R800 power setting on the low side?

Fender Style Black Grill Cloth / 36" W.

Actually I did a mod to the 100 where I can use the Speaker with another amp. Check the attached speaker.

So I have the 800 going to both the 100 cabinet and the 2x10 cabinet. But I can also use the 100 with it's internal amp.

I know. I thought the head had a switch for 800w / 100w (200s?). But it appears not to have that. Selecting low power when using just the 12” would avoid the possibility of blowing the speaker.

The switch is only on the 800 combo.

I have been playing the 100 box with the 800 head for about 4 months and never had a problem. The 800 at 8 ohms is only about 400 watts and in the small gigs I do I have never put the output higher than say 10 to 11. So that makes it less than 200 watts and the speaker is a rms powered at 250.

with both cabinets at 4 ohms on the amp - the output is stated at 800, and I have never set the output higher than 9. It has never left my house - so at that probably around 200 watts.

And in my 51 years of playing I have never seen anyone set their amp full blast on the output knob and as most know to low of power will blow a speaker faster than over power - good drivers will shut down first.

 

[Gopherbassist]

I have never heard this before. Do you have any resources that discuss this?

I just became aware of the new ivory Rumble 500. I like the look of it, but not enough to wanna buy one. I really liked the look of the Limited Edition tan/wheat Rumble 200 that they made a few years ago, and I wish I would have bought one of those while they were still available. I wish (like many other bass players) that Fender would make a few more of the tan/wheat Rumbles, and/or a Rumble in blonde with oxblood grill cloth (like the Tone Master Twin Reverb) and/or a Rumble in lacquered tweed with brown/gold grill cloth (like the Tone Master '59 Bassman). I'd buy any of those in a heartbeat.

Also, I have a question about the weight of these Fender Class D bass combo amps. How come the Tone Master '59 Bassman (4 x 10") weighs less (32 lb) than the Rumble 500 (2 x 10") (37.5 lb)? I realize that the Tone Master '59 Bassman may be marketed more as a guitar amp (it has a built-in spring reverb), but would the Tone Master '59 Bassman be a decent bass amp?
