Fender Rumble Club

They're fine. If you have skin toughened by years of playing on your finger tips or thick calluses, you really can't tell the difference between coated and non. Only a beginner or tender foot could tell.

Coated strings do clean up easy with an alcohol dampened rag. Neons give you a crazy cool look to your stage performance. They do last a little longer, but not twice as long.

I've come to find that I like the tone of GHS strings best. The only DR string that holds any interest for me is their Pure Blues set.

I cracked myself up this morning. I looked at the two pics you posted soon after you put them up. I saw a very happy man on the first, and a happy man focused on the second. I was thinking, now that's a CHIX MAGNET! But never saw the strings :laugh::roflmao::laugh:

I don't recall that being one of the umpteen symptoms of dyslexia, but I think it's related. I can be looking for something in the pantry and my wife will keep telling me it's right in front of me, then she finally gets up and points at it, 12" from my nose :-\ Then sometimes I see funny stuff in pictures that are not the subject of the photo, like the cat in the background sipping on a Guinness.

Anyway, my brotha, I did enjoy seeing pics of The Man himself! So thanks for posting them.

You're welcome. The photos are a few years old. 2013 was my DR Neon year. I use GHS Bass Boomers or Pressurewounds nowadays.

Two ports -- one on the lower-left corner and the other in the lower-right corner.

The dimensions of the ports are 3" in diameter and the tubes inside are 2" deep.
You can see some acoustic batting in there.

Thanks very much, Scott. I really appreciate your help.

And if I'm not pushing my luck: does anyone know how the wiring inside is connected (I'm hoping the answer is terminal connectors; not soldered). I'm hoping to use a Rumble 115 V3 to test out another speaker. I'm hoping I can easily rewire it to connect a different 15 driver (Faital 15PR400) but bypassing the crossover and HF driver.

Thanks again.

View attachment 952721My proof for membership. This is my new to me rig. I ordered the head and cab used for less than the price of the cab new. I rescued the Dimension this past week from a local store. It had been sitting for months.
Very nice micro-rig indeed. The Fender Standard Dimension is very much under appreciated. Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club @micahwc. @Gravedigger Dav must be working, but he'll be along to issue you your official membership number.

Well, I think I have a problem with my 100. Last night was band practice and I was using it. It was doing quite well. We played for about an hour and took a break. When we came back, I had very low volume. The master has been at 1. I turned it up to 3 and then to 4:30 and still not enough volume. Gain was about 9:30. I turned it off for a few seconds and back on. I got some volume back, but not much. What I got faded fairly fast.
Anybody have a clue?
