Fender Rumble Club

Hello guys,
I'm in for the club
My hunt for a cheap, reasonably powerful, and very lightweight combo is over.. I’m the owner of a Rumble 100v3.
Build is cheap, but very very lightweight (it was my main requirement) and it seems to sound ok, maybe it will suffer some customization (speaker swap for a Basslite, lining, bracing…) as times goes on…

200 with an extension cab covers most situations. It needs support for gigs on high stages where everything is miked, but for small bars it fills the room.

Tall stages always need sub support, because no matter how big your amp is, the crowd won't get that chest feel when your amp is on a 3ft tall stage. And the lows needed to do it with any amp alone, will totally be super boomy on stage. I had to to a totally crappy pa gig on a tall stage, no subs. Bass could be heard, but not quite felt. On stage was another story :)

I did the Basslite upgrade and an egg-crate foam liner on the back panel a couple weeks back. It's a feather-weight champion in my book. I didn't change the porting or add any bracing but there's always another day. Welcome to the R100 zone.

Gotta know. Do you have a preference? I've always liked liked Jack. Out here in Cali, Evan Williams is probably the most affordable quality true "Kentucky Bourbon" we can get. Just asking...

Yes, I prefer Blanton's, but like many others. Yes, Evan Williams black label is the best of the inexpensive bourbons, but an excellent pour nonetheless.

Hello,
After the Basslite upgrade did you notice a large jump in "loud" (read "gigability"), the stock speaker is a very low sensitivity one : 93bd (NAD - Fender Rumble V3 100) and if at 97 bd the Basslite is not a monster, the improvement might be very large.
Thanks in advance
Luc
