Fender Rumble Club

I meant to write Fender site says "3/8 ???
The good thing is any music store can get them or they have them on Reverb or eBay. Even Fender sells them.

Picked up this one off of Market....... Rumble V3 200 combo.. missing one potentiometer nut for the foot switch jack, took it off to try ,and find one at my local music store, and lost it.. Now I need two.. 🙄
Guy at the hardware store said, " you need "3/4 nut..
He printed this for me...
Thanks for the help in advance...

Bienvenue, peek! @peekypoo, you are now member #1908 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome. Please 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.

Heck, I paid $300 for her.
This thing is super light, and I have yet to master that overdrive section..
Any advice on how to get that overdriven sound...

Well, peek, your fellow Rumbler @JakobT posted the definitive Rumble overdrive treatise here nearly 8 years ago. And it is dutifully linked in your Rumble Wiki - Rumble Talks section in the Tone subsection.

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

Rumble On!
 
Tonight will be my first time taking the Rumble 500 to a gig at the local American Legion. I've rewired my green short scale Schecter Banshee Bass (with TI Flats) with a Fender Pure Vintage '63 Precision pickup, full sized CTS pots, a Switchcraft jack, and a .047 Orange Drop capacitior. It sounds so smooth now; perfectly even across the strings and up and down the neck.

After giving up bass and selling my Fender Precision and 4/4 German Flatback upright because of my left wrist, it is great to be playing again. Short scale has made it possible and the Banshee is a solid bass.

I auditioned the Rumble 100 and 500 this morning and although the 100 would have easily done the job, the 500 was the clear winner for tonight.
