Fender Rumble Club

The extreme world wide popularity of Fender's Rumble line has given FMIC pricing power as demand exceeds supply. So we've seen price increases on both the Rumble 500 and 200 combos. Everything else remains the same. Perhaps a special pricing offer on extension cabinets to current 500 & 200 combo owners might prove prudent?

Would have loved a discount for multiple in-brand purchases.

Yeah I couldn't justify the 112 because the 115 was the same and the 210 was only $50 more.

However being able to get it for $150 from a tb'r made me jump at it.

I think you would like the 112, that under a 210 would be a good rig. And then you could mix and match. However for $50 more a 210 makes more sense. Fender should have cut us a break on the 112, $250 makes more sense. I said that from the get go.

I got a smokin' deal on a 112 from a TB'r as well. Maybe we're the same person. If that's that's case, you're a lot cooler than I thought you were. :woot:

I'm havin' fun :D Let me live with this thing for a while and I'll make some splashes in the tone pool. I will say there is a tremendous amount high mid content that I never got in the music store auditions. Plus I do have it off the floor in a kitchen chair. Plenty of highs too. Too many actually. Horn off and treble backed off to 9 o'clock for about 7 or 8 dB cut. Low mids boosted by about 4 or 5 dB at 2 o'clock. Bass and High Mids at 12 o'clock high for 0 boost/cut. No voicings used. Sounds pretty solid with my '76 Precision strung in GHS Precision Flats. With the vintage voicing engaged I sound right out of Motown or the Memphis Soul of Stax. Hitsville & Soulsville USA. :bassist: Pretty hip if you ask me. :thumbsup:

Really love the Ceramic-Ferrite magnet driven motor in the Rumble 200 combo (same driver in the Rumble 115 cabinet). It's got the MoJo. I've played through the best of the best AlNiCo magnet driven icons of the 15" rock 'n' roll bass legends, and let me tell you this new Eminence woofer rocks with the best of them. Hands down. One. Amazing. Woofer. :thumbsup:

Is it the best? No. Is it great? Absolutely! :woot:

No. China. The Rumble 112 & 210 are built by Eminence China. In the same factory where all the special design Eminence woofers for Fender Rumbles are manufactured. The Rumble 115 is still being made in Fender's Indonesia factory, along with all the Rumble combos & heads. The Rumble 410 is now being made at Fender's Ensenada, Mexico facility.

Aha! That probably explains why the 115 is cheaper in Australia than the 112 (my local-ish store anyway).
Fender Indonesia Vs Eminence China.

Ah-Ha! You have the best of the best! Since 1951 the very first and best selling, and most copied Electric Bass Guitar ever in the known universe today = Fender Precision Bass. Running an extremely close second = Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar = the very best selling, and most copied electric guitar in the known universe today.

Right now the very best selling amps in the known universe today are the Fender Champion 100 Electric Guitar Amplifier, and the Fender Rumble 500 Electric Bass Guitar Amplifier.

When you want the best Buy Fender!
