Fender Rumble Club

Another Rumble club applicant! Currently have a V3 200 combo and thinking about adding a 210 cab. more than anything just to get the 200 up in the air (and looking cool) ;) By itself the 200 does just fine for our church with an unmic'd drum set and an acoustic guitar with 2 vocalists going through the PA.
I've seen plenty of posts abut adding a 210 to a 500 combo but none for a 200.
I think it would sound fantastic, let us know how you like it.:)

Welcome Rumbler # 821! Have you considered adding a 1x15 to your 200c? Rumble on.

There is endless debate on TB about whether it is better to match speakers or mix them. Bottom line, it is all in what you think sounds best. I have a Rumble 200 combo and have never tried it with a 210 extension cab, so I cant say how it sounds. I do however have a Rumble 115 extension cab and I can assure you it sounds fantastic with the 200c. The second cab really brings the sound and tone alive much more than I thought it would. Even if you don't need the extra wattage that you get with the 4 ohm load, the extension cab is worth the money just for the sound of it.
 
Welcome to the club @louie_b! :woot: Adding a Rumble 210 to a Rumble 200 combo will work out just as well as adding a Rumble 115 to a Rumble 500 combo. It is just that a Rumble 210 cabinet costs just as much as the Rumble 200 combo, so I don't think anyone here has done it. No reason why you can't be the first! :hyper:

It was engineered to take one, unlike my 100. That said, I would personally opt for the 115 instead. One reviewer on Sweetwater loves the combo, and the cab is $299; $50 cheaper than the 210. Plus it will match perfectly.

Thanks everyone!

For some reason, there doesn't seem to be any music shops in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area that have any of the cabs in stock so I'm having trouble trying them out. The really nice guys at Milano Music were nice enough to special order a 210 in just so I could try it. Might be pushing my luck to have them order in a 115 as well. I'll find out Saturday how it sounds :) I went with the 210 just because the physical size of the cabinet was the same as my 200c

Phoenix isn't exactly Timbuktu. I would guess the 210 will sell quick enough. Doesn't hurt to ask.

The 15" Eminence woofer in the Rumble 115 cabinet is the very same as the 15 in the Rumble 200 combo, so apart from some very small sonic nuances from the larger cabinet you know what it sounds like. What you don't know is the coupling effect you get with the Rumble 115 + Rumble 200 combo.

Well I pulled the trigger on a Rumble 500 V3 yesterday after work and went directly to a gig to play with people I didn't know, playing songs I didn't know but at least had time to listen to a couple of times through. (was hired over the phone at 10pm night before as thier bass player couldn't make the debut gig at a new residency) I must declare this rig sounds amazing! All in attendance were very complimentary and I myself am very pleased with the performance of it. Next will be a Rumbe 115 extension cab and I will consider myself done in my quest to find the tone ive been searching for. May I have a # please , Thank You.

What a douchey move to bail out of an important gig and not prepare a backup.

Health Check, please:

How are you feeling Gravedigger Dv?
And how about you, Linnin? Is that heart ticking along like a fine Fender?:
I am good, thank you @Indiedog. Pulse and pressure are being well regulated by meds. My son is coming to Washington, District of Columbia on business soon, so I will get a chance to see him.

Thanks for asking. I'm fine. It is my wife that is seriously ill now. They found a cancerous tumor in her lung that is not lung cancer, but a type of skin cancer that sometimes shows up in internal organs. Unfortunately, it is too close to the esophagus to remove. So, I'm mostly working from home to help her. She has a six week program of chemo and radiation therapy that will start soon. They have to do some more testing before they start.

Oh my! So sad to hear of this, Dave. Prayers sent.
I am glad you are doing well though.

Thank you. It is going to be tough. Luckily, my employer is very helpful with this. My boss told me to do whatever I need. I am in software development and able to work mostly from home so I can take her to all her appointments.

No clue if this means anything to you, and not trying to push anything on ya or anything like that, but I hope you don't mind if we add her to our P&W teams prayer list...

Just know you aren't alone in this. Good thing your employer is flexible. One of the main reasons I have stayed put in my job is flexibility for family. That is massively important to me. Reach out, and get help if / when you need it. And remember to take some time for you.
