MrCrane Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 [quote name='theyellowcar' timestamp='1395347254' post='2401485'] It's an omission on the site. The spec sheet I got with my Rumble 40 also has the headlines for the 1/2/500 combos and they all feature a 1/8" headphone out [/quote] Cheers for that. Looks like one more option to put back on my list of possible amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Well, my perception is that Fender are a going thru the motions brand and their best stuff was from eons ago...certainly on the amps side. Maybe they bought GB to stimulate the brand and incorporate respected kit from the GB range to boost Fender's .. and get rid of a creditable competitor to boot.. So, little more than a GB re-badge exercise..?? But with the rise of Aguilar, they may have been left behind in the blocks as they now have the vintage thoroughbred ground now, IMO..

Lozz196 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 15kg has to be a typo, it would need to be made of Uranium 238 or something equivalent to be that heavy for that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I've ordered the 500 head, to use as a possible back-up.. should have it sometime next week hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Nice on Don, keep us posted with your findings, have been looking at these myself, always liked Fender bass amps - aside from the weight/size. These look good on the clips, very interested on a real-user verdict though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgbass Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 i thought about the third generation Rumbles. But I'd rather stay with Markbass, or GK. For heads, or combos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Rumbles are pretty much best in class if you want lightweight on a budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basskit_case Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Just putting a feeler out before deciding whether or not to sell my combo. Thinking of selling my 500 combo, rushed out and bought it ( as I always do) on the promise of some live gigs, but it looks like we are destined to play rehearsal rooms which supply the back line for the foreseeable future. Its a great combo, versatile sound, but I think my current situation of needing an amp at home is better served by using the riglet rather than the rig. Sell or keep?
