Sooo Fender Friday to be sure .
Back in the Rumble Club!!!!!!
I traded my Carvin MB210 for a Rumble V3 100.
Why exchange a 250 watt 2x10 for a 100 watt 112?
The Carvin was great, BUT!
It weighed more, was louder than I need for rehearsal. And we're playing more gigs with strong FOH. This will be my monitor only.
Rather than bring my Mesa SubwayD800 and 112 to these gigs, I'll bring this tiny featherweight, capable and toneful little guy.

That makes you an insightful bass player. Well thought out sir.
First gig with the Rumble 100!
I discovered after getting to the gig that there wasn't enough FOH support to run my bass through so this little guy had to do all the work.
I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a struggle, but I was told I could be heard out in the crowd, so I guess it was a good gig!
I think I need to get myself a wedge or something to angle it up a bit. Unless there's a procedure to implant ears in my ankles.

I have an amp stand from Musicians Friend that I use under my Rumble 100 to get it up in the air. Can't remember what I paid for it but it works quite well!
Check this website out Gremson..a few Rumble members have opted for these stands..they double as isolation stands as well as angle the amp up towards the player...link below.
Note: Your amp must be at least 15 " wide to fit on this stand and from memory I think the 100 is about 16.5"..others who own a Mud Stand may be able to help out..I like the look of them too.
Mud Stand for Bass Amps

Another great amp stand is to put a rumble extension cab under your rumble 100. 
Take a look at the MudStand. I have the"Mini"which will hold a R200c so your R100c should be fine.
Yeah, except the R100c doesn't have an external speaker jack.Another great amp stand is to put a rumble extension cab under your rumble 100.
Well then in that case, it would be a rather expensive amp stand.
Well, it can have one if you do my mod (check my signature).
Keep in mind the amp of the R100C was not meant to be used like this so pushing it to the max might cause problems. And warranty void, your own risk, etc.
That being said, mine is still working fine being used regularly with a P-bass, gain at 12, master at 10 (max) and the 210 extension cab. Big and full sound. Those ICE amps can really deliver unless you go too far of course.

Just wandering a bit , could a 4 ohm speaker be put in the Rumble 200 combo . that would allow it to do the full 200 watts without a extra cab ?
IF you got a 2nd R100, they can be connected-effect Send of one to effect Return of the other. Stack them, get 100w from each and the top one will be closer to yer ears. I have an R200c and a R112 cab, but for lower volume rooms I just put the R200c on an angled stand(brand-Amp Stand-original name isn't it?). If I'd known of the 2 x R100s trick, I'd have gone that route. I love my R200c, but it Alone is overkill for many of our gigs. BTW,we NEVER have FOH, rarely go into(our)PA. Hope this gives you a couple of choices in addition to a stand.
Went from touring with a SWR SM 900, and two goiliaths, after health problems took me off the road, and friend got tired of lugging one 4x10, I purchased the Rumble 500. It was within a week of its initial release and for the last couple years its been all I've needed. Of course, its not the SWR set up, but I'm not playing with Mariah Carey either. At times I felt we were pushing the 500 a little hard. i just purchased the Stage 800. I have the 500 and 800 side by side the versatility out of the box is a game changer. Of course there's more than you'll ever need. But i find it hard to believe that you cannot dial in a decent version of your desired tone(s). I went to the Freddie Washington preset and played along with "Forget me Nots' just for kicks and it was dead on. Move past presets and the pure amp sound has some body to it. I haven't been able to get the Tone app to connect or set up, with the amp. I'll figure it out. read the extended manual last night, there's so much here it justifies $200.00. Guess I'm new to TalkBbass and new to the Rumble Club

Welcome to Talkbass!!! You were playing with Mariah Carey?

thank you, feeling very welcome. Rumble Club Oh Yeah! No, to Mariah but she is the only reason I'll ever try to lift the Goliath again!
Wow, @Franklin Henry, that is two killer combos to be using simultaneously. Have you tried running the mono FX Send out of the 800 into the FX Return of the 500 and then stacking the 800 on top of the 500 to get it up closer to your ear level? That could only be surpassed by running the Stereo FX Send out of the 800 into the FX Return of two 500s!
