Wait, there's an R600c?
lol

Well, ... ummm, ... OK, then how about this new entry on our NAMM Wish List? The new Rumble 600 combo, 1x15" ceramic ferrite speaker and a high frequency compression horn, ⅓ Output switch, 300 watts continuous at 8 ohms, 600 watts continuous at 4 ohms or 2.67 ohms (yes, it can drive two 8 ohm cabs.

On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me:
Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two Rumble rigs and
A party gig for no fee

@Giffro and @MrB64 and anyone else who has added a 115 cab to their R500c: Do you still like the combination of the two amps together for practice? Does the 115 addition result in a better overall tone at low volumes, in your opinion?

There's a 115 cab available locally that I'm thinking of adding to my R500c, but almost all of my playing is practicing at low volume in my music room. Before committing, I'm trying to find out if the addition is worth the effort, tonally.

Better to have it and not need it.

 

[GonePlaid]

Ha! Typo.

No, I'm type AB+.

Hi, Rumblers.

https://www.talkbass.com/wiki/fender-rumble-500-frequencies/#3-rumble-500-actual-flat-frequencies

As you can see, flat is not flat on the R500C, actual flat has (approx) clock knob settings 10, 2, 2, 10. Can I assume the same goes for the R100C (same actual flat knob settings), or will someone (not me!) have to check this out first?

Thanks!

It's where I start on all 3 Rumbles(200c, 100, 40)then tweak for the room. VINTAGE always on/in; BRIGHT for presence as needed.

1200 watts at 2 ohms (adding THREE 8 ohm cabs!)

This is correct for all Rumbles using that preamp (40/100/200/500 per the official Fender Rumble block diagram, available in the Wiki and around the web).

1200 watts at 2 ohms (adding THREE 8 ohm cabs!)

??? Well, that certainly seems exciting, MIley!! Interesting! I know the R800c and the RS800c can each drive TWO 8 ohm cabs for a total of 2.67 ohms, and the R800 HD head can run FOUR 8 ohm cabs at 2 ohms. But this seems like you're suggesting an R1200c to be able to run 300 watts alone, 600 watts with ONE 8 ohm cab (4 ohms), maybe(?) 900 watts with TWO 8 ohm cabs (2.67 ohms), and 1200 watts with THREE 8 ohm cabs (2 ohms), is that right? WOW!!

But, I try to keep my NAAM Wish List items easily realistic without, like, having to invent new technology, or anything. Is there a similar item IRL to this suggestion? I mean, is there an amp or combo anything like that already? not meaning to stifle creative think, though.

Are there "Y" Speakons?(I don't/won't use Speakons-my 1/4"-ers work fine).

Dunno 'bout Miles, but I still want a relatively light, 200-ish W, 2x12".

 

[Giff]

my 800c got a little sibling! Saw a 500c for a good price, and now I can leave one at the rehearsal space!

 

[John D Harris]

Yes.

Always make sure any SpeakOn cables or connectors you buy are genuine Neutrik SpeakOns.

Knock offs can be very unreliable.

Yes indeed, leaving an amp at rehearsal space is a great convenience. Congrats.

The lightweight Rumble 212 at 500 watts continuous, 1000 watts program is still part of our NAAM Wish List.

 

[GonePlaid]

Yes.

As little as we play these days, and the fact that all of my 'stuff' is pre-Speakon, I ain't changin' nuttin'.

No idea, but there ought to be.
