Exceedingly Well Said!
There are many here at the Fender Rumble Club that have come from much more expensive gear, and like their Rumbles better.
This is true...I have a GK MB 212-ii right along side my Rumble 500/210 rig and can easily compare. For me, one is not necessarily "better" than the other and I consider them fairly equal from a "sounding good" perspective. They are really different tonally from each other of course, but both are capable of getting great sounds. I do however think the Rumble is a bit more flexible, and in addition it's a lot cheaper so a better overall value IMO.Exceedingly Well Said!
^^^TRUTH^^^
This is a point that I have been trying to make for a long time. More expensive gear doesn't sound better, just different and of course more expensive.
Rumble On! 
Christmas is Coming!I have been given some sets of electric guitar strings; instrument cables and headstock tuners among other things and I have put together two Surprise Santa Gift packs for needy youths that play guitar in my area. We all have something to give. Merry Christmas to you all!
Good on ya!
Thanks!
I also dug out a set of GHS stainless steel roundwounds that I was unlikely to use and put together an electric bass guitar accessory pack. You should have seen the blank faces as I explained the electric guitar accessory packs and not for just any guitar. Likewise the electric bass guitar accessory pack. God only knows what will happen and who will get what. I have done my best. Amen and
Rumble On!

Very, very nice.
And yes, all you can do is to start the snowball rolling downhill...it is up to them to guide it a bit so that it barrels through the right house!
I have seen a few here announcing the arrival of new Rumble gear and being happy with it. Great, but you haven't asked for numbers. If you want a number, let me know. I don't assign them unless you ask.
Rumble On!.
I'll have one as well.
I recently bought a new Fender Rumble 500 (2x10 combo) from Musician's Friend.
The Master pot produces a lot of scratchy noise when turned.
The box was re-stapled, so I think somebody else returned it to Musician's Friend and they just turned it around and sold it to me as if it was brand new.
It still sounds pretty good, as long as I don't touch the Master pot, and plug in before turning the power on.

Just roll the master pot back and forth a few times before you power up.
Yes, that is how i survive with the brand new Rumble 500. It still doesn't seem right that it will work just like that, right out of the box, though
Well....thought I had seen it all as a jaded ex-prosecutor. The guitarist in my band committed a major felony against my daughter--the singer in the band....and apparently a host of others.
Sad days ahead. What the hell is wrong with people???? The idiot damaged people beyond belief and will likely spend 2 decades in prison.
Sorry for my rant...been holding a lot in the last 3 days. Rumble on.

Mine does that as well. There were two combos when I got mine and they both did it, I just figured I could live with it.
Happy Fender Friday!

Damn Man! Such anger
and terrible sadness at the same time 
You have our deepest heartfelt commiseration.
Obviously you don't have to post details, but praying whatever he did, he gets his just punishment. And extra prayers for your daughter and any others he has caused harm too.
Thanks all. I have a wonderful family and God for support. Reading the Rumble Club today has given my mind a break.
I'll be sending good vibes your way when I practice tonight. Hope it all gets better any way it can.
Very sad reading above. I am sorry to hear such evil lurking.
