Fender Rumble Stack - SOLD PENDING

[bassbluestew]

I bought my first Boogie rig from a fireman in Stow years ago..........he was getting one of these rigs direct from the Custom Shop ( they were a custom shop item when first made ), that was 14 years ago. He was a Fender nut, had a good few Custom Shop Masterbuilt basses, all very lovely indeed. Great guy, kept his gear very nice.

Nice coffee too.

Oh my word!!!! Magnificence!!!!

Anyone with a Fender bass deserves a go through this.

That said, the front end is v forgiving = happy with an active summat.

Demos easily arranged (as long as you come to me).

Welcome to: there is 'different' but there is no 'better'

I've used this live several times with one cab... only once with both... nuff said.

They expect me to get better soon.

I seem to remember reading that some of these have some issues overheating due to design of the ventilation. Have you had any problems and, if so, had them looked at by a pro amp man?

Also - is the only difference between the cabs that one of them has a horn or are there other design differences?

Just twopence worth... although they're based on the same chassis the tens are different in both boxes... the 'top' box (which sounds fantastic on its own) drivers have standard 'corrugated' edges as per most drivers, the 'bottom' cab drivers have rubber surrounds suggesting that they're designed to excurt lots at high power wich in turn, given that there's no crossover, suggests the box may be some sort of develish clever bandpass/ported arrangement... sonically it 'feels' like adding an 18"
