Careful now, the 15'' boys may have something to say about that- even though its all subjective and opinionated of course. At least to me anyway.
Here's what I don't get about bands that play with plugs. First of all, I can't, so I guess the question is, can you hear anything at all? Like if you played an F instead of F#, would you even know? Second of all, how do you know if it's sounding acceptable without the plugs in (which cut out a lot of frequencies)?
I got nuthin against 15's, I like em fine an even been eyeballing them myself., (GAS y'know) just said he probably won't miss them much. Feel kinda bad I made Linnin go into Bill the cat mode.
Also, a GTG could be fun, but were all pretty spread out. If anyone gets near Cincinnati, I have plenty of Whiskey
Yes indeed it would be nice to have a fender rumble convention or jamboree of some sorts once a year so that I can meet some of you wonderful people.Also, a GTG could be fun, but were all pretty spread out. If anyone gets near Cincinnati, I have plenty of Whiskey
Ahhhh, the love of the 200c, it's something you can't control once you go there. Like you, I had a v2 75 Rumble, the v3 200 wins hands down, and the weight difference is amazing. Add that extension cab Linnin, you know you want to do it
Wait; You got plenty of whiskey? are you adopting? I'm retired and got plenty of time for such things-ain't no fun aloneAlso, a GTG could be fun, but were all pretty spread out. If anyone gets near Cincinnati, I have plenty of Whiskey

That's it! get me thinking about 15's now. I wasn't missing that Peavey 2-15 cab I had back in the '70s until now, it was a heavy beast, but it sounded sweet. I can only imagine a pair of Rumble 15s and the 500 head.
Triangle Square. (Scott will get it)
About my rumble backronyms, while I too could be considered retired, they took no time at all to create, few minutes tops.
Hi, I've been searching info about the rumble on google and always end up here but I just can't decide which amp to get, where I live usually prices are higher but I can get the rumble 40 v3 for $175 brand new or for the same price I can get a rumble 75 used, I think its the version before the current one, its the black with metallic speaker grill.
I'm getting an amp mostly for practice alone at home but the rumble 75 seems to be awesome there also a few mods that can make it even better, but Im not sure if this is going to be a good practice amp, I know amps have a volume sweet spot and I'm worried that the 75 volume sweet spot is going to be very high. so what do you think guys, should i choose the safest option and get the 40 or get the 75 instead. Sorry for my bad English.

I guess I could put a Rumble 115 cab under the 500 combo. That would for sure be overkill for my bedroom and practice uses right now though haha
Given those 2 choices and the use intended, I would say get the 40, more tone options, and your back will thank you.
+1 on the rumble 40 and not just because I own one- before I purchased the r40 I tried everything GC had to offer in small practice combo amps and never looked backed. Good all around amp from low volume bedroom or headphones with good quality tone to garages, picnics, small jams. I think its the best investment I've made so far.
You can hear for sure, I brought a pair couple weeks ago. and if you play a bum note, you will hear it (or feel it with a Rumble
)I don't wear them all the time, it's sorta like putting your fingers in your ears. Try it next band practice. The sound changes for sure and can take getting used to but after coming home with that dreaded ringing in the ears I thought it was necessary.
Great first post @javiercorre, and welcome to TalkBass. As others have already said the Rumble 40 is your best choice for a personal practice amp. I have owned a Rumble 75 for over five years. It is my daily practice amp and it has been utterly reliable. The kickback/monitor cabinet is wonderful until you have to move it. Then it is a pain because it is so awkward to carry plus it is 45 pounds. We look forward to you joining our Fender Rumble Club soon
Foam plugs and such are cheap and cheerful, and great for protecting your hearing, but useless if you actually want to hear anything. Good earplugs are designed to let the full audio spectrum through while cutting the decibels. I have a pair of custom molded plugs that cut about 15dB, and they're great. I can hear everything perfectly clearly, just not as loud.
+1 on the 40 for practice.
Really great sounding combo, and you can recreate your 'rig' Rumble tone at lower levels.
A few times I've fiddled with the tone on my 40, and then took the settings to use for live work.
It's a super amp, best small one I've ever owned for sure.
