Fender Rumbles Are The Fastest Amps In The Universe! 
Rumbles Rule!
Rumbles Rule! 
Well I guess that good deal is over, they have bumped the price back up! What did you tell them?
Mine just arrived an hour ago, and Holy Smokes these cans rock! I am no headphone guru, but I have tried quite a few high end studio monitor units, let me tell you WOW!Very even response from top to bottom and excellent frequency range.
Super Happy I got them
ACK! I told them "Thank You".
'He who hesitates is lost.' Or in the vernacular of the day, Ya Snooz = Ya Looz 
LOL.. it's ok.. I found them for even less than what you got them for! "He who jumps quick, may jump short!" - me
ACK! I told them "Thank You".
My Rumble is still going strong after about 20 gigs, a few hundred hours of practice/rehearsal use, a year of school band abuse and about another 100 hours of bluesy telecaster shredding...all in a year and a half. I still love the sound and the weight and the thing sounds the same as when I first plugged it in. My poor old V2 Rumble 25 was wheezy from the start but put up with a few years of being used as a set of computer speakers at a high school and still does a workable impression of a practice amp. I guess the rumbles aren't so bad after all.
I am now officially a rumble fanboy.
Is there a club for that?

Yes, I believe so.I am now officially a rumble fanboy.
Yeah, I saw those and that is an excellent price as those V2 Rumble Neo cabinets were $399 a piece.
Found myself in the possession of a Fender 250 combo over the weekend for a pretty stellar price ($40).
WOAH...why so cheap you're probably wondering? Well, the guy i bought it from said it was missing a connector from the preamp to the speaker and i stupidly believed that to be something i could remove from my Crate 1x15 combo. Well, safe to say my Macgyvering didn't work haha.
Would anyone know what the piece might be/look like? I will attach a picture to help.
The terrible thing is the amp sounds AMAZING through the headphones so i can only imagine what it will sound like once i've fixed it.

Question for you guys, I'm thinking of getting a wireless system so I asked my local music store salesman who also is a very good working guitarist . He told me the wireless systems take away tone .said hard wire is better. But my thought is my rumble 500 c has a great eq that works. Finally my questions , does the wireless system take away tone and if so can the rumble eq compensate for the loss ?
I think it's a common myth that a wireless system will narrow the range of your timbre, and it's probably true of cheap systems.
Thanks for the reply. So you believe a sure wireless system around $500 bucks would be a decent system
I just bought a Brace Audio wireless (not made anymore, btw) and it sounds superb. Absolutely no tone loss. Make sure you go UHF if possible.
If there is a difference between the hard wire and the wireless, with the older system that I used years ago, I could not tell any difference and with being that I am sure that systems today are an advancement from yesteryear, I can not see why not use a wireless if you choose to go that route. Or think of it another way.. what do the pros do? Not what they use, but do they do? That should be a good indicator that going wireless isn't harmful enough to your tone!
Thanks brother ya know I was thinking that myself. But having never been considered the smartest man in any room I've ever been in that I can think of . I come to this amazing place where BASS players share their knowledge & experiences so that I and others can make informed decisions. God blessed Talk BASS and God Bless The Fender Rumble Club.
My advice is not to take advice from guitar players who think a floating bridge is called a tremolo & refer to the timbre of an instrument as tone.
The "tone knob" on most guitars & basess is used to cut treble tones from the timbre, which is comprised of many tones.
I'm a member of a few guitar player groups & the term "tone suck" gets thrown around WAY too much IMHO.
