Fender Rumble Club

"Part" of it is true, the difference between 350w and 500w is less of an impact than just the addition of more speakers. To get 3dB more than 350w you need to go up to 700w, but adding that 15" is about another 3dB on its own, plus maybe another 1.5dB from the extra 150w. The second cab makes the bigger part of the difference vs just the 4ohm wattage bump. And the fact that the combo is raised off the ground.

I like the 112 cab myself, the 115 doesent fit in the back of the car, and triggers "gotta turn one sideways" ocd, as well as added boom, but the boom is wanted by many, so I can't knock it.

The ocd and compactness, and lucking out to get one from @honeyiscool semi locally, led me to the 112. Been very happy with the sound, it is almost like having another 115 in the combo size box sound wise... Almost. But it balances perfectly probably because of the low mounted ports, and fact that it is coupled to the ground while the 15 is raised up. Best stand for a 200 or 500 that money can buy in my opinion.View attachment 1148939

Had band practice yesterday at a fill-in drummers place, he already had an amp there to use so i thought cool i dont have to hassle bringing mine. When I showed up, it was an old Eden World Tour 800 head and Eden 410, had like 25 knobs and weighed 100lbs:). I messed with the confusing eq for a bit, but no matter what I set it to, it had a very scooped and sub-sonic bass tone. Its like there was only super low end and clacky highs...no mid/low-mid punch at all. It was my first eden experience, is that just they way they sound? Was definitely missing my Rumble for sure:)

Ahhem ... That's not even legal whiskey in the United States where the minimum is 80 proof or 40% ABV. How about something really good?

Nor in Europe. Also, you are not allowed to call it whisky if it's mixed with something else. I'm not saying it's not good, but it's not really whisky. I prefer the straight stuff myself, and preferably at something higher than 40% ABV too.

Congratulations! Yeah, I love that antique/vintage blonde finish that is kind of like a quick thin white wash. Very special. The utter simplicity of the design is it's undeniable dynamic appeal. It's amazing how something so simple can sound so awesome. KUDOS!

I have to say, now that I've had this thing (Squier CV 50s P Bass) for almost a week I am LOVING it, I have deliberately been NOT playing the J-Bass and I find this to be very easy to get used to. It has the same kind of logical Fender feel, different but similar. What a great bass guitar. I can go between this and the Jazz with no problems. I am even finding the glossy neck to be a non issue. Anyway, where were we? Trying to convince everyone on earth to get a Rumble and rock it to pieces. It helps that I was GASSED into getting the second 210 with the 500 head. What a great sound.

Iirc... there's a few buttons on there as well as all those eq controls. .. maybe one that 'mid scoops' was engaged? They certainly CAN sound mid scooped. ..but can also be adjusted to sound pretty cool.
Maybe the 'enhance' was engaged. ..???
