Fender Rumble Club

[lowplaces]

I about fell out this morning when I read that thread this morning to discover the dude with the Rolls Royce amps plays only bar gigs.

When I rope cows I always wear my Lucchese boots.

He's currently banned. I didn't see what post led to that though.

I had to laugh when you mentioned roping cows. I'm currently working on a rewrite of a song lyric I drug out and dusted off.

we'll ride the night sky
rope a few stars
we'll remember those nights
in these old southwest bars...

I always ask drunks at the bar whether my rig compares to Jaco's twin A360's.

He got banned ? Seriously????


BWAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahahahaha He kind of teed me off by slamming people with their "little man" gear. He had nothing constructive to add and ZERO experience with Rumbles. UGHHhhhhh

Apparently the Rumble 500 head also works well as a guitar amp head, with the right signal chain and cabinet.

I plugged mine into a closed back 1x12" guitar cabinet with an Eminence Swamp Thang in it rated for 150 watts RMS, 300 peak (8 ohms). I then plugged my Tech 21 Blonde pedal and EHX Holy Grail Nano reverb into it. I had the speaker emulation disabled on the Blonde and the EQ flat. With some EQ-ing on the amp, set with none of the three switches engaged and the parametric all set at 10 'o clock except the treble at 2 'o clock, it sounded extremely good with loads of headroom (which makes sense as it was running at 350 watts).

Good to know I have blisteringly loud backup guitar head now, too!

I was generally referring to the naysayers....and the common practice that as soon someone likes the Rumble...they instantly start changing the argument and pointing out all sort of ways (which may not even relate to the OP) in which the Rumble is not as good as their much more expensive rig

Oh I know. Through The Years Fender has always had this stigma attached to their acoustic guitars and a bass amps. Fender upped their game with the Rumbles though and the "purists" are getting nervous. They feel a need to justify their more expensive gear.

So they have to insult Rumble owners to get their fix so to speak.

I've noticed he was banned before and was back after a month or so.

It might not have been a post on the thread were talking about. Who knows.

Yes, most of the time when you see a vintage Bassman amp on stage a guitarist is using it.

I have a '82 Electra X270 Powered EQ guitar (Matsumoku era original design) and it sounds fine through my Rumble 500.

Sounds great through my Ampeg PF-50T too.

Man--it sure does. I miss a day and there are 10 new pages! Sometimes my search function doesn't work!

Are we having some kind of party for the 20.000th post?

Plus it shows that he 'liked' it, so he read it. I don't see what the big deal is. Just buy it and try it for yourself. Nobody else has your ears or sensibility. No one can tell you what you might like best.

I actually tried a Rumble 40 on my acoustic guitar and it actually sounded really nice. Since all the playing is rhythm it had a warmness to it.

I think he liked it after you posted the link to the answer.

It's Friday and we have Fenders. It don't get no betternat. (For non Texans, It doesn't get any better than that)

They should put that background on a t-shirt.

Happy Straturday!

Speaking of Rumble 40's. . . .

Installed my Eminence Basslite S2010 last night. . . .

One of the most important posts (to me anyway) lately needs a bump. IIRC, you also padded the guts. I'm waffling between the Basslite and the highly recommended DeltaLite. I want to be able to run the 40 well past the half volume point without undesirable clipping. Have you been able to crank that puppy with the Basslite installed?

Pricewise, the R40 plus the speaker upgrade is equivalent to the stock R100. I want to upgrade that one too, ideally with a low freq focus. The 9-pound Legend BP122 for instance. That would help my combos take on bigger rooms and leave the real heavy hitters in the rehearsal space. Finding a reseller that has the full Eminence line hasn't been easy so it seems like I'd want to go direct through their website.
