Not often. Here's a link, but the side-by-side is just for these pix. He says he'd probably stack 'em for gigging:
Cool thanks! Those pictures are exactly what I was looking for. I just jammed last weekend and played through an Ampeg 4x10 cab so was wondering what that would be like if they were stacked side to side.
Please add me to this Fender Rumble group. I normally use IEM's but sometimes need a amp for my gigs. I am very happy with my EBS Microbass 3 preamp and feed the output of that into the effects return of my new 800 Combo sitting on a Proline stand. I mostly play my 27 year old USA Washburn I bought new in 96 and Turner Renaissance 5. Occasionally I also play a 5 string Ibanez fretless. Love the power and lightness of the 800 Combo. In the 70's, 80's, and 90's my bass rigs weighed 100 lbs and had half the power of my new Fender.

Dv, I don't think this thread gives out member numbers, if that's what you're looking for. But the TalkBass Fender Rumble Club would be glad to accept your membership application and issue you a free number there. Just click on that link and repeat your post and pic there!

I have a question for you all.
I tried to connect my pedalboard, having a VT Bass DI at the end of the chain, into the "return" input of the combo.
I belived that with the VTDI Level to h13:00 I could have the same overall volume like havin VTDI output directly connected to the combo input with gain at h12:00.
But it isn't so. The overall volume is quite lower than the direct input connection.
Is it normal?
Or am I doing something wrong?

I noticed the same thing but fortunately my EBS Microbass 3 has a master volume control for 1/4” output. I turned it all the way up and now going into the Combo return is plenty loud. I think the Combo return input impedance is only 10K or 100K ohms and not 1M ohms like a normal guitar amp input.
That's normal, MB. At the FX Return your pedal signal is bypassing the Combo's Gain and pre-amp. You'll have to make up for that with the pedal settings.
Plus, unlike most Rumble combos, the FX Return of the 800 Combo goes thru the Master Volume! So, you'll have to adjust that, as well.
Hope this helps.

R800c DI XLR question: it is unclear [to moi] from the manual if both pre and post signals are, or are NOT, affected by changes to Master volume. Here is the text from manual:
"Select PRE for direct unaffected signal; select POST for fully processed signal (except MASTER)."
Does "...except MASTER..." apply to both settings, or only POST?
"Select PRE for direct unaffected signal; select POST for fully processed signal (except MASTER)."

Yes, gl, the MASTER volume control is downstream of the POST Line Out signal take off point, as can be seen on the Rumble 800 COMBO Block Diagram (far left, taken from just before the Master, then goes thru Speaker Cab Sim). And, the PRE signal goes almost directly from the Input to the Line Out, thru no controls whatsoever, not even the Gain. So, neither signal is affected by the MASTER volume control.

Got the Moon fretless out tonight with the Rumble 800 and my Sadowsky preamp.
