??? What, ho? Are we savage, barbarous, Inhuman, deadly, destructive or fierce? I think not, Your Excellency! Are we not your fellow Comboites, instead?​

... ... ... Club member and friend @GonePlaid got a phone call at 6:00 A.M. this morning saying that his 48 y/o daughter and best friend Jamie had passed away. We don't at this time know what happened. He won't be on line for a while as he’s basically in shock right now.

OMG! This must surely be too much for Mike to bear. I'm sure all TBers are aghast and wishing, or praying, for Mike's grace under such unimaginable pressure. 😢​

Happy Easter if you celebrate, and happy day, regardless!

Just using one R100C at church now, as a monitor, since we started running bass through FOH with everything else. The sound guy today is the bomb; bass was loud enough I barely needed the Rumble (but not too loud - a great mix).

I look forward to the day I have time to look for/put together a band for gigging. That’ll get me back to two Rumbles daisy chained — a good start until we get big enough to resurrect the Dead’s Wall of Sound!

Anyone have a lead on a Dead Wall of Sound combo? And a pair of Chinooks to carry it?

Fell (and not so fell) Comboites,

I’m officiating a wedding for two of my best friends from college next weekend and was asked to provide a sound system. Rather than rent one unnecessarily I carried my two Rumble 100 combos and a mixer out back onto the porch, plugging my iPhone into the mixer. I cranked it up and the music was conversation level around the perimeter of our large back yard (50-120) feet from the porch), so more than enough for what’s needed. Sounded just fine, too. Not as good as my stereo, but a whole lot easier to haul and set up / tear down. I knew this ought to work, but always prefer to check first!

I had to involve the mixer because if you plug into a Rumble’s Aux Input, you bypass the Send jack, meaning you can’t daisy chain the amps. That’s fine; the couple didn’t ask for mics but I’ll take a pair, anyway since the mixer is there. With this crowd, we may well end up with some live music and/or singalongs/faux karaoke as well.

I’ve done something similar for a movie night out back, but everyone was in close proximity that time.

Good job coming up with a solution, and congratulations to the happy couple!

Hail! And well met, Your Excellency, Fearless Leader of All Comboites. Surely a more true and resourceful officiant has ne'er trod the altar, or podium. May all benevolences and good mercies attend the festivities, partakers and endowments thereby basked in the Rumbling auras! ⚛️​

Considering moving on from my Fender Rumble Stage 800. What (relatively) light weight combos are people using? I like the power for the Stage 800, so 400W alone or 800W with an extension cab is my preferred power range.

Lots of people are using the very lightweight Fender Rumble 800 combo. It's the same power amp as the Rumble Stage 800 (can run up to two 8 ohm cabs) and the same preamp as the Rumbles 40, 100, 200 & 500. But it has 2x10" NEO speakers, giving it a somewhat different tone than the R500c with 2x10 ferrite speakers. And it's only 29 lb.s compared to the Stage at 39 lb.s, the R500c at 36.5 lb.s and the R200c at 34.5 lb.s!
