It's simple really. It's just the frequency upon which the control is centered. We talked a lot (and when I say a lot, I mean one whole heck of a lot) about the differences between the V2's & V3's. Search it all up and prepare for a week or two serious nerdville reading.
I'll be recording a few bass tracks on my rumble 500 in some time. I was thinking about recording the speaker through a mic on one track, and recording line out on second track. Then I remembered the line out already has a cab sim.
Should I record both tracks nonetheless? Or maybe put a DI box in FX loop to skip the cab sim?

Got one about 5 years ago and have no intentions of replacing it. Never had any complaints about the DI feature and plenty loud for most small-medium venues (50-200 peeps?) Also quiets down nicely for practice.
record four ways at once: DI straight from bass; DI from FX send; XRL out, and mic'd cab. Let us know what you think and hear the outcome. That would be a really good experiment.
Scarlett 2i2 has only two inputs
I'll also be tracking drums, it's gonna be fun. Luckily, I recently got Zoom H2n recorder which should work well for overheads
Plus, that is the one with the red LEDs illuminating the vent at the bottom, right?
No, but it's predecessor, the Rumble 100 V1 did with a 15" speaker and gray carpet covering. Does anyone know what the lights were there for?

Well--I just got off 80 hours of practice in 2 weeks with a metronome before I started my new job. My hands can crush concrete--not really. But, I have definitely moved to a different level.
I played a 5 stringer for this past week through the rumble 500C. The 5 stringer doesn't really add to the way I play and construct lines...so, 4 strings are for me. If anyone has a 4 string fretless bongo up for sale pm me.

Do you find that the volume knob is very sensitive to power output. I was using a friends new Micro Rumble 350 power head. It seem that at #2 volume setting, it was putting more output than normal. All my other amps volume knobs are regulated and less sensitive to slight movements.
Maybe this was a defective unit.
I own a Rumble 100 combo 15".
Sweet sounding. Well suited for small venues.
I always thought about getting another to pair for more sound. But I have bigger rigs.
Welcome Rumbler #829. Don't forget pics when you get it. Go get it today and Rumble On!
Great combo...used one for quite a few shows and rehearsals.
Plenty of power
I've owned a fender rumble 350 combo for many years. I play classic to punk rock. Played many venues- small medium clubs and outdoor. Always been happy with the tone- warm, punchy low end without being muddy. The tone though diminishes noticeably within about 10-20 feet from the amp, even at higher volume. It's still loud enough to be heard but less low end, and harder to cut through the mix. I figured I needed to switch to a newer combo with more power. Tried out the Rumble 500 & Ampeg PF 500 side by side with my Rumble 350. My 350 was better than both of them- tone and volume. Even the store GC salesman agreed. So if I still want to push the tone/low end out more and cut thru the mix, do I need to switch to a separate amp 500+ watts with a 410 cab? I'm also considering the GK MB212 ii combo but worried it might have the same vintage rock n roll low end I like. Maybe I should just keep the 350 and run it through the PA? Any thoughts?
I'd use the 350 and add a Rumble 210 cab if I could, more of what you already like.
Hey thanks DerekW, my suggestion is off the table then-thanks again.
