I think even Chucky would shake his head on this one. Powers on, tone wheels spin, but no sound. I’ll check all the fuses for continuity. Replacing will be a pain since they are hardwired.

They packed a lot in the cabinet. 212 speakers, spring reverb, tone wheels, and Leslie.

If you’re ever in my area…moving the beast isn’t fun. I think it must weigh in at 300#.

Yeah, I’m hoping I can stick around long enough to see them. I recall I was acquainted with the singer way back in the ‘90’s, as we ran in the same circles, sort of. Don’t know if she would remember me, as I barely remember how I know her.

I will be doing a double at the Hotel Utah on Saturday January 4th, with both Red Sun Ruins and Bad Lemon playing the same stage that night, with another awesome band, Smoke.

I’ll try to make it up. Fun venue with good beer on tap. Any chance that the Bad Lemon
drummer’s groupie will be there?

For you Rumble folks, I picked up a "in like new condition" Rumble 500 v3. Seemed like a good deal at $380. I figured this could be a decent gigging combo and light weight. If I never make it to a gig, I think I could always recoup my money. Any thoughts on this combo?

I’ve played through them a few times at GC. They seemed fine in the stores. Never heard one out in the wild though. Andy once said that they have a bit of the Genz-Benz DNA from the Fender acquisition of that company. Can’t beat the dollar for power ratio. Especially with the 210 extension cab to get the full 500 output from it. Those cabs pop up on CL occasionally around here. There seem to be a lot of them out there.
