Fender Rumble Club

Follow-up on putting a Bassman 500 head on a Rumble 210 cab.

In the proper upright position, the 210 cab is too narrow to get the feet of the Bassman in a safe and stable position.

The feet are two wide to be both on and too narrow to be both off. Here's the close-up:

You could shave off some rubber from the feet but then the screw heads on top of the Rumble would garf up the tolex on the bottom of the Bassman.
Instead, you could make a simple platform from 3/4" ply, paint it black, and be happier.

Here is a drawing that is approximately to scale which shows how the Bassman fits atop Rumble cabs:

Yeah.. that ain't lookin good that way.. but a couple on their side stacked might be nice!

Thanks so much for this! Very awesome!!!
 
Love your avatar, BTW - that brewery is half an hour's drive from where I live!

I used to drink it in the 90's here. A local store had about 6 of us who bought it on a regular basis, so we could count on it being reasonably fresh. That store closed though and I couldn't find another store that carried it.
It's nectar imo lol

Is it considered a top shelf brew there ?

I would expect you to relocate the logos so it all looked legit!

Or better, replace the logos with Invalid Link Removed Fender part # 0994093000 @ $10.99 ea as per Kevins1701's excellent write-up.

But I think if I were headed in that direction, the Rumble 410 cabinet would be calling my attention...

Well you know, some folks just want to keep things balanced, by having a cab in each hand when they carry Them!

Aass is considered one of the best of our older traditional breweries (though I think local patriotism also plays its part). Bock is fairly uncommon - we're traditionally a lager drinking country - but the darker beers are seeing a resurgence, and craft breweries are now popping up all over the place :)

Yes.. craft breweries around are one of the "new gigs".. in with them and out with the bars.. only bars left around mostly do karaoke and the places that have a band are mainly the VFW's and the like.. I think that there are two in my area that still do a live band..

The bar scene is VERY different in these parts. Almost none of them have, or have ever had, live music, and the craft breweries are just breweries, mostly.
