Fender Combos questions...

Sign in to disble this ad
I use to have a Fender Bassman 250/210 combo. I wanted to be able to use an ext cab plus more power so I got the GK MB210 combo(350 watts)plus the 210MBE cab making the "rig" a 500 watt 4x10. I liked the sound and quality of the Fender though. Now I noticed that Fender has the Rumble Series for their combos. (I like my GK btw.)
Does anyone on here have the Bassman 250/210 and also have tried the Rumble 350 2x10? Has anyone tried both the Bassman 250/210 and the Rumble 350? If so, what are the main differences? I know the wattage and the Bassman has the carpet cover but any other real differences? I thought the Rumble came out as a "beginner" combo and the Bassman was "gigging" combo. Is the Rumble 350 a gigging combo now?
With GK I like the fact that you can add the 210MBE and get the 500 watts. I wonder why Fender didn't do it? Well that's enough for now. Any info is appreciated...thanks.

Fender's "Bassman" series is pro quality gear, and the Rumbles are entry level. Doesn't make them bad, just cheaper components, and overall lower quality product. Haven't played any new Rumble series amps, so for all I know, they could sound impressive.
