[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1429514698' post='2752016'] personally, extra volume is not the only reason I've tended to use an extension cab, (with my Marshall MB4210) it also looks better having a bit of a stack (more rock and roll ) and also it takes the amp up to ear height which means you can hear it more clearly [/quote] I'd agree with that and you also get a little more feel with more air being pushed. I don't think it makes me want to play any louder, just gives me headroom and feel.

[quote name='Freddie75' timestamp='1429456758' post='2751528'] Will report back on it. Was very tempted by the 115 but alot of the reviews on 115 I could find were back before the 210 was released - so thought I'd take a punt. [/quote] Don't think you'll be disappointed it gives you more of what the 500 combo gives you

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1429263128' post='2749737'] I used the same bass for 34 years perfectly happily, then I discovered BassChat five years ago... and the madness began. I'm seriously considering going back to one bass and what's more, that same one bass... [/quote] BassChat has a lot to answer for Start a new trend for just having one bass wish I could join you in that but love the vibe I get off all my different basses.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1429262657' post='2749732'] After years of bass shenanigans, I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I actually [i]need [/i]only [i]one [/i]bass. The others are superfluous and represent the effects of consumer capitalism. Comrade. Thpp! [/quote] You could be right! I'd find it pretty hard to settle on just one now. Years ago I had no problem. I guess I got caught up in all that capitalism in the end

Thanks, that's good to know. I should really get some made up!

Love it! Must of missed this thread first time round. A few dings on her and it'll start looking even nicer.

Overall design you like, sound you like, but not the necks. You do know Fender P's come in a wide range of different sized necks from chunky to Jazz width?

[quote name='Freddie75' timestamp='1429132170' post='2748457'] Yes, how does it sound? I've just purchased the 500 combo myself and not sure which extension cab to get for it. Thinking between the 210 or the 112. Also - adding to the weight could be the side handles?! [/quote] It just sounds like more of the 500. More air being pushed so a little more feel as well. I think you could be right about it being the handles that make it heavier, hadn't thought about that.

Thanks Lozz, hopefully it kills my amp cabinet GAS for a while. Funny that I have gone back to 4-10's. Now tho they are stacked a little more sensibly than the old 410 box. Guess what I really need all along was an 810

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1429009524' post='2746904'] Great, let me know... I've kind of got GAS for a Rumble Combo... probably never need the extension cab, but if I do get one I'd want it to match the combo... my OCD won't allow otherwise... [/quote] Yep, can confirm the 210 extension cabinet is the same size as the Rumble 500 combo. So it's now 2 times the goodness. Strange that the extension cabinet is slightly heavier [url="https://flic.kr/p/rcjnLN"][/url]

Thanks for this, I just ordered some to cheat on my DB and stick some on the side of the neck

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1429008935' post='2746891'] Very nice! Is it the same style and width as the combo? [/quote] Yes, it's supposed to be.

The new Fender Rumble 210 extension cab arrived today. Gave it a quick try with a Shuttle head and Stingray, sounded nice punchy and tight. Can't wait till tomorrow at practice to pair it with the Rumble 500 combo

I have used it DI'd a couple of times and have had no comments from the sound guys. I'll have to check next time out.

I currently have 4 Precisions. one fretless, one rosewood and one maple and also a 51 RI. Never bored swapping them around. The first P type bass I had was an Ibanez Blazer, in fact my old school and band mate still has it (lent it to him for recording in about 1990) Told him to hang onto it till I needed it back.

I think there is also some compression going on with these Rumbles, they seem to tighten up very nicely. I have another 210 cabinet on the way and can't wait to try it out hopefully next week.

something simple like Lizzy's dancing in the moonlight [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unnh0T2Ftro[/media]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1428489382' post='2741690'] I think under UK law it's actually illegal. [/quote] Only the guitarist... speaking from personal experience.

I gig my 1970 P, it's already had it's fair share of knocks so nothing there for me to worry about. Unlike a new bass. As far as running repairs I just had the pickups rewired (not rewound) as one of the wires had come off one of the coils. I also had a new nut cut when I bought it and had the input jack replaced.. it's a few years away from a re-fret, other than that it's been good to go.

Very nice. Great Dad. Edit to ask, does he play anything himself, he obviously knows a bit about bass gear?

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1427956611' post='2736181'] Just to further complicate things... I used the TH500 again at last night's rehearsal and it was sounding brilliant!! Full, warm and rich and just sitting perfectly in our band mix! Still that "edge" to the sound (that I tend to think of as "distortion") but maybe that's just part of the character. Tone controls all set flat (except for the treble which was at around 2 o'clock) and drive fully off. Boosting mids or bass at all causes the clip light to come on... Maybe I just needed more time to get used to this amp, I dunno. Anyway, it's off for its service this weekend so maybe we'll get to the bottom of whether it has a fault or not! [/quote] I can push mine a good bit before any clipping starts, even with an active bass. Even at silly volumes at 4 ohms and a 212. Once it's been looked at you'll know where you stand with it. These are pretty versatile amps imo.

Welcome.

Great showcase. Good luck with the basses, they sound and look great. Davie504 is pretty awesome as well The guy is just 20 and has chops like that.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1427632935' post='2732458'] Looks like week 42 1966 [/quote] Thanks. That's what I was hoping.
