I guess Fender didn't put numbers on the dials to save money so they can sell them at a reasonable price.
Just curious as to why Fender didn't put at least one speakon connector on the back of their newer Rumble series amps. Speakon's are pretty much standard across the board now and it seems kinda counter productive to not include this feature in the redisigned Rumble bass heads.
I don't know any old people. They all died.The "wheel of cheese" knobs are much easier to read in sketchy lighting.
Especially as you get <cough> <cough> older...![]()

That explains your name.

You are more than welcome, @Indiedog, and thank you for your kind words. The Fender Rumble Club really does have great camaraderie. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people here and they are quite helpful to all. It's a real pleasure to be a club member.Every so often I catch up with this Thread and two things always strike me:
>how good these fender products are
>how informative the regular guys are and how nice you are to spend such large amounts of time helping out the general populace here.
That last one is aimed at Gravedigger Dav and especially, Linnin.
Thank you!
.Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, @tilt724!I'm a novice/beginner and only own a Rumble 25 but I'd like to have a number please. I'm sure the buzzing strings have nothing to do with the amp...smh. Still working on building muscle memory in my fingers. 'Air' bass was sooo much easier.

As far as buzzing strings go, let us know what bass you're playing and we'll try to narrow it down to either technique or setup/mechanics.Thanx

That is an excellent bass! So just do a couple of quick things. First; is it totally factory stock as far as strings and setup? If so, then good. Buzzing strings are caused by: bad technique/misfretting by the bass player; not enough or too much neck relief, action too low at the bridge.I'm sure this is not the right forum thread but, I have a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass 70's.
Totally LovelyGuess it's time I joined the club. Here's a picture of my Rumble 500 combo.


Thanks, it is all stock and from your description I believe you just confirmed that it's my technique. I've started GC lessons and I have been instructed to slow down. The metronome has helped a bit. I may have started late in life but my bass will keep my life long learning box checked. ;-)That is an excellent bass! So just do a couple of quick things.
