A little help...attention Fender Bassman 500 or 800 owners...

Hey, there, qwenchy! I saw those apparent width differences on the Fender website, too. But, I now believe that the 22.37” width for the 800 is a typo error, and that both the 500 & 800 use the same boxes. The shared 500/800 manual lists them both at 22.7" and newer ones have a 500/800 sticker in them as shown in this link: Official Fender Bassman Club Pt II
.

I don't think I've seen such a "T" configuration as you're asking for, but maybe someone has such and will post it?

I have a 500 (22.7") that usually sits on it's Bassman 115 cab (26"), and I have a Rumble 500 combo (23" tall x 19" wide) that I once stacked like this:

Here's a link to a pic of a 500 (22.7") on a Rumble v3 115 cab (23"): Official Fender Bassman Club Pt II

OooOoo, qwenchy! I think those Rumble 112s are sa-weeet! They would give some luscious sounds from a Bassman 500.

I would caution you, however, that the Bassman 800 can output up to 500 continuous watts at 8 ohms! For a single 8 ohm cab with the Bassman 800 head I wouldn't feel very safe with anything less than a 500 watt rated Rumble or Bassman 410, per this link: Fender Rumble Club

Good luck with whatever you decide.

I bought a new Fender Bassman 500 that came in the mail yesterday and it is the exact width of my new heavier 4x10 version Fender cab.
I just measured it at around 22 and a half, I hope that helps.

Here's a link to a Fender Showman head on top of a Gries 112 cab for ya. Not exactly what you asked for, but close enough for you to get the idea. How do you like it?
