Fender Rumble Club

#17,321
Thought I'd share this with the club. It's also on Show Us Your Video You on YouTube. It finally hit me that I could use the line out of the Rumble to a mixer. I've been fiddling with the Overdrive setting and I think I finally got it. I cranked the bass and low mid...

Fender Rumble 100 w/ Overdrive Drive @ 0 Level @10; Bass @3 o'clock; Low Mid @ 3 o'clock; High Mid @ 10 o'clock; Treble @ 10 o'clock

Angeline Saris's Fender Jazz Bass Stolen!Invalid Link Removed
"Terrible news. My bass was stolen last night from the Catalyst in Santa Cruz. It is a Fender Jazz American Deluxe FMT. The E String tuning peg is silver and the rest of the hardware is gold on the bass. It is a deep honey color with a maple fretboard. If you have any leads, please contact me right away. Heartbroken."

That's terrible. Hope she gets it back.

Rumble 200/112 stack killed it at the beer hall in Pasadena. No monitors, small raised corner stage, vocals only in the PA. Perhaps the wood floors helped. Then again I never had a chance to listen from the house, but nobody said anything about the bass needing to be turned up.

Tony Kanal from no doubt apparently was there to see the band before us, and stayed for half our set. The promoter told us afterwards and showed us the pictures he took with him.

I also played a larger place with a different band earlier, pa support was uber crappy, like crate 115 cabs on sticks, wedges that looked more like truck boxes, skinny guage speaker wire, and a gk400rb was one of the PA amps, I assume for the monitors... When I stepped off the stage, the phat low end dropped off a bit, but otherwise the rig was loud enough because the soundguy asked me turn down. I wanted to turn the lows back up and be boomy on stage for the sake of the crowd feeling the bass. The PA really needed subs for that big of a room.

I might be getting some video footage of that show with the original band, and then I can get an idea of how the house sounded.

The Catalyst is just over the hill, far enough away for a thief to GC it. The World Wide Web is watching. I'm pretty sure my old band opened for Ric Derringer there. There's balcony seating along the sides if that's the place. Anyway, it's a shame that a chill beach-town like Santa Cruz gets mentioned for this kind of thing.

View attachment 1065988 I've done 2 gigs with my new Fender Rumble V3 stack-V3 200 watt amp with the 15" Eminence, combined with my new Rumble V3 2x10" cab with my country band, and 2 rehearsals with my classic rock band-and it's been 1 compliment after another about the sound-EVEN from non-musicians! This might be a budget-priced line(less than $700 for the whole rig) but lemme tell ya-the TONE is BIG BUCK all the way! I'll put my rig up against those farty SVT's any day of the week!!

Those Squires are getting better. I tried out an Affinity P/J Saturday and was really impressed.

Gig Report:
Last night was my second Sunday night with the house band at a Blues Open Stage gig. Its a nice older building, upstairs, very old brick walls, "low-ish" ceilings and great acoustics. There is a small PA for vocals and guest harp players and such only. The Rumble rig is totally nailing the tone I've been chasing for some time and has me looking forward to the gig every week. Here is a breakdown of the rig and a link to crappy cell phone audio, the tune was something a guest harp player called out.
Rig: Rumble 500 Head, Rumble 210 Cabinet, Diamond Compressor.
Bass: 1977 Fender Jazz, 1980's Bartolini pickups, DR Lo-Riders

(Head phones or good Speakers a must)

Nice. Really nice. Good job on that solo section, too. My Fender 100 combo (and your soundcloud clip) has me really close to trading my Hartke LH1000 amp for a Fender Rumble head. I just need to go for it...

I like your video @gjohnson441496! Something with the sound is off, but your musicianship is spot on. :thumbsup:

Do any fellow Rumblers use the Gain cranked all the way all the time? I like the compression (that I think it's adding) and the color it adds to the tone. EQ usually, 1 o'clock on bass and low mid and cut a little high. Then I pretty much just use the tone on my bass for options and the overdrive on/off. (p bass btw with rumble 15" cab)
