I don't have any details about the 2021 NR neck profile but I would expect it to be similar to the 2012 NR.
Interesting. Love the look. I've had both the Rumble and the Ampeg combos in recent years. Never could get the Fender to sound right to my ears. Kept the Ampeg. Clearly doesn't sound like my tube heads, but it clearly does have an Ampeg sound to it. Makes a great keyboard amp as well. Love the lack of weight in the Fender, however.
Looks to be. I’ve said my Mesa is my last amp purchase, but my little Rumble 25 that I travel with recently developed the dreaded static sound problem. When it gets to the point I can’t stand it any more, I’ll look at the RB-110 which is only a couple pounds heavier. Interested to learn what you think. Lots of choices these days.
I just checked. I paid $500 USD for my used VP 3 years ago and it didn’t include a case. I bought a Yorkville case on my way home from picking up the VP from the GC in Bellingham, Washington. IIRC the case was about $150 CAN.
like the “Ultra Row” switch?....
...You know, I actually use it from time to time just for the fun of it--when I want that folded horn sound! Much maligned as it is!like the “Ultra Row” switch?....
Yep. Not a buzzing or a crackling. At lower frequencies for now. I’ve read complaints that others have had with the same issue that progressively worsens.
just on the 25 that you know off? that’s a strange issue as it points to something “ageing”[email protected] like that on your Rumbles?...
I said the same thing of my Mesa D800 / 115 & 112 cab combo rig...but in the long run, I prefer the simplicity and weight of a single combo amp. Not to mention that each component of my Mesa rig (D800 head, 115 cab, 112 cab) was in itself equal to the cost of a 200 or 500 watt Rumble / Ampeg combo...
Briefly: Nope.
. Being totally in the dark electronically, I hit the power switch. It comes on. Cool. It doesn't come on. (again), go get spare amp, take Rumble to shop. Or just buy another.
An Acoustic 140 and a matching 2x15 cab was the first amp we ever bought, probably around 1975. Loud and heavy(weight). Kind of a dull sounding amp by today's standards. A friend had a self contained version with 1x15 in it. I can't remember the model number, maybe "134". That was a cool unit, I wish I had one now. Eventually moved up to an Acoustic 470 before I switched to Sunn Betas for a year or two.Am I remembering correctly when I say that there are some Bird lovers whom also play Acoustic amps, or have in the past? I'm trying to date my newly acquired 140. What a cool amp! I've opened it up to look for any date codes inside and to no avail. All I have is the serial number (8787) and some numbers from the circuit boards. I asked the question in the Acoustic Club as well to see if I can get some guidance. Thanks!
sometimes it’s local interference from something....if I had a dime every time I told someone, “make sure your cellphone is not near the amp”.....
I'd be all over it but I need to sell an amp first. No ready $.
Not sure of others. I’ve had it since 2016 or 2017 and got it new for $99. Same issue regardless of bass, cable or wireless setup. I’ve also seen complaints about the headphone jack switch failing on some Rumbles, including the 25. Anyway, I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of it.
