    Cabs: Ampeg 210av or Fender Rumble 210?

    Hi guys, First post ever! Building an inexpensive 210 rig. Not sure which of these cabs to go with. I don't like the sound of the Rumble amps. Not articulate enough for my needs but I wasn't sure if that was a product of the combo's head or the cab. I like the idea of the ported Fender design...

    Fender Rumble 100 or 40? I might trade in some stuff...thoughts, please

    I have a Fender Rumble 40. It's brand new. Is it worth getting a Rumble 100. I don't play out, but... I am thinking of seeing what kind of trade Guitar Center can do. I have a Blues Jr and the Rumble 40. I have the Blues Jr on CL, but the best offer I got was $250. Think GC will get...

    Questions pre-amp or lack thereof- older Fender Rumble 350 2x10 combo

    Hello All, I play a (passive) Fender RB-5 Jazz Bass, mostly through a SWR Super Redhead 350w 2x10 combo which has a gain (pre-amp?) and a master volume. So that's what I'm used to. Unlike most amps I've seen, this Fender doesn't have a gain, but there is a gain in the overdrive section...

    Upgrading the Fender Rumble v3 40w speaker

    Totally wrong thread... re-starting... I was sure it was loaded with a 8" speaker but not, it's a 10" Fender Special Design. The combo sounds pretty good and has enough volume to stand against a regular drummer :) Anyway, the question is still valid. which 10", 8 ohms speaker would you...

    Fender Rumble problem-sound cutting out

    Hi. I am looking for a little insight into a problem I am having with my Fender Rumble 500 combo amp. When I plug straight into the amp with my passive Fender J or P basses I love, love, love everything about the amp. But occasionally, I will put a Boss bass overdrive pedal before the amp input...

    my Fender Rumble is rumbling !

    Hey sound-purists like me: My Fender Rumble 200 is rattling slightly. I reversed the speaker mounting hex screws so they go through the backside wood anchors first and then I installed 4 X .80mm (metric) nyloc nuts on the front all around the speaker mounting flange so nothing could be loose...

    Fender Rumble 100 settings for 6-string electro-acoustic guitar

    I intend for my new Fender Rumble 100/12 to double as an amp for my 6-string nylon electro-acoustic guitars. Given the breadth of available settings, I'd like to hear from any other bass/six-string players who think they have found optimum settings beyond just turning down the bass and low-mid EQ.

    Combo amps: Fender Rumble or GK MB 210: which series is better?

    On the Fender Rumble amps, what does the horn do, and what does the vintage setting do?
