Combo Amp Advice?

[Linnin]

Hey folks, for those who posted with combo advice, I went with the Fender 500 and gigged with it today. Beautiful! Exactly what I wanted and I got a great sound. Thanks very much all!!

Perfect! You're more than welcome to join us over at the Fender Rumble Club.
Rumble On!

Great to hear you found a great combo.

I gave them a serious look early on.

I really like the rumbles.

Congrats.

Congrats on the new amp. They've added an extension speaker out to the 210, right? Can't seem to tell from what I see on-line.

Yeah, they have a 210 that should really make it pop. That said, my first gig with the 500 combo by itself just kicked butt. It was outside too. Granted, it was jazz and some blues with not too much volume, but it really produced the exact sound I wanted and I could have really powered up and been way louder. Clean and balanced all the way. It's weird how when you get just the sound you want it makes you play better. Go figure...

Rehearsed tonight with the Rumble 500 using my stand up. Had to dial it way back, but overall, it was just as clean and organic as my Phil Jones rig. Not sure yet on volume without feedback issues. Had to just about turn the gain off and really work my Fishman Pre. Still need to work on balance but I am optimistic. Thanks again all.

Answering myself.... On the Fender product pages there is a good photo of the rear of the unit.
Indeed there is an "ext. speaker" jack.
