Fender Rumble Club

Oder? Is it a smelly club?
 
Which setup are you using?

I have the 500c using a Sub 4 bass. Most of what I play is post hardcore. I have yet to find a justification to get another 2X10. It is a beast. The last gig I played--a cavern of a place--turned me off in the house. I use generous gain, vintage, and overdrive and with this particular bass I turn the 500c's treble off and turn it up all the way on the bass.

How do you like the 210 with the 200c? Do you just set them up normally so the 15 has to be on top, or put the combo on its side and the 210 sideways on top? (That's how I ran mine with the little ampeg micro 210 before I sold it).

I am hoping a way presents itself for me to get a 210. With the snazzy silver grille's, I would be able to get over my weirdness of the 15 being on top.

I take it it balances OK sound wise and 100w is enough to get the 210 moving?
My only Rumble Tale is I loaned my rumble 200c and 210 ext cab to a friend. I was there of course and sat in the audience to listen to MY RIG!. During the soundcheck he/we EQed the rumble to the room mostly flat, gain at 9:00- master at 12:00. Everything was alright and when the noise level increased he increased the high mids only. What a sweet tone he had ( using MY fender jazz w/ chromes). It was my idea to loan my rumbles and to be honest I felt kind of funny-ok jealous because it wasn't our gig or me playing ''MY RUMBLES''. What a bittersweet situation that was. I don't think I'll do that again. I still think about it sometimes. drool

I keep thinking I want either a 1x15 or a 2x10, but I can't justify it because it is plenty load as is. Should I need more, I can always go FOH. (But it would look so cool) (But I don't want to spend the money).

That is exactly how I feel about my 200. I couldn't have worded it any better.

Gravedigger is on the right path except for the part about not wanting to spend the money. That part is just wrong!

But, yeah! Think of the appropriate extension cab as a very attractive way to get the speaker(s) closer to ear-level. And if you need the extra power, you know what to do; it's all right there!

Re: tilt-back for the back line = no bueno for the audience. If you have trouble hearing yourself, take measures but don't, please, aim your speaker into outer space, away from the audience.

well, sometimes looking at the audience, I think they are in outer space.
Good point on that, though. More justification can't hurt.
