Hey, Rumble dudes. A couple of the zippers have busted off of the bag for my Rumble 500 head. I called Fender and they're sending me a new one. The bags are only covered for 1 year, not 5 like the components. So, if you need one, give em a call before your time is up.

I've made some serious revisions and added quite a bit of historical information to this thread

Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, ausbassman! You are member #478
Just look for the Tone Pool post and you'll find a link to suggested tone settings. It just got started yesterday, so it will take some time to get rolling.
Rumbles Rock!

After much decision making I have paired my Rumble 500 head with an Aguilar 410 cab, sounds awesome, off to band rehearsals so will be able to push it a bit.....

Pre fender swr goliath III are being snatched up used for ridiculous low prices, good matchup for rumble 500. There are even some 4 ohm ones out there. And then there were the golights, never tried one of those myself but heard good things.

Here's Mel Brown playing a Precision through a Bassman 500 and what appears to be a Bassman Pro 410 Neo cabinet.

Hey guys, is there anywhere I can discuss buying new basses with members of the site? Looking for a good partner for my Rumble 500 and my MIM Jazz Bass is just not cutting it for me.

[Mattrill]

Groovy Baby! So is that a Rumble 210 underneath that Rumble 500 head?

Hey Linnin

What does the horn do on the back of the Rumble cab do?

Hey Linnin

What does the horn do on the back of the Rumble cab do?

The control is a three way rocker switch: -6dB - Off - On

I use the following basses with my Rumble 500 combo:

MIM Jazz (with Fender reissue '62 pickups)
MIM Geddy Lee Jazz (stock)
MIM Nate Mendel Precision (stock, comes with Duncan SPB-3 pickup)

I can get all of these basses to sound fantastic through the Rumble, but they all require different EQ settings, especially when going from the Jazz basses to the Precision. Anyway, I wouldn't count out that MIM Jazz just yet, you might get some more mileage out of it with new strings or even a pickup upgrade. Are you looking for something along the lines of the Jazz bass or a different tone altogether?

 

[DerekW]

Yeah, if you like the Jazz, pickups are cheaper than a new bass. Not that anyone on TB will stop you buying a new bass, lol.
Guess it depends on what your looking for sound wise.
