Fender Rumble Club

It has been a month since I posted but I just want to thank you all the people that helped to decide between the combos. Sorry for my English as is not my native language.

Congratulations! Which model Rumble did you get? Do you have any more questions?

I see no problem with your English! Where are you from?
 
Hi all. Changed out the stock knobs with some chicken head style. Gives a classic looking combo even more class. Love how it turned out!

Old post and all that...

I recently purchased a Rumble 500 and the matching 2x10 cabinet. I would like to change the knobs too, but no matter how hard I pull, they don't come off. I don't want to break it, so does anyone have any ideas? Are they glued to the thing or something?

Thanks.

They're not glued, the classic D shaped friction fit shafts/knobs.
 
Your English is fine!
What did you end up getting? How do you like it?
I opted for the Rumble 800 and it's and absolute beast. The combo works very well with a loud drummer. I play mostly stoner and riff based music and this combo works so well in the mix.

I've doubted a lot but I got the Rumble 800. No more questions related to the combo for now, thanks for the help as it is very difficult to try both here in Spain. So I've got to trust the comments and this combo is even better than expected.

Dog to dog, "rowlf"! @FluffyDog66, you are now member #1897 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome. Please put that number in your TalkBass Signature for safe keeping.

Try prying the knobs off with a very thin flathead screwdriver. They're not glued but they can be quite tight sometimes. Just be sure not to modify anything that can't be unmodified in case you have a claim within the 2-year warranty time period, though! Then, please keep us informed of how it goes for you. 😉

So, how about telling us a bit about yourself, Fluff, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular? You're bound to fit right in here since we have all kinds. But we all love to ... ... ...

Rumble On!

I use tools like these (got mine years ago at Harbor Freight, but now everything is available even cheaper/easier online):

Did you buy it new? If it was used, maybe the previous owner glued them on. Mine came off with little to no effort. Good luck, it looks waaaaaayyy better with the chicken-head knobs!
