Pretty sure all English speaking countries other than the United States of America spell it as ‘colour’.
Trading in a Markbass for a Rumble always makes sense.
Happy Fender Friday!

Not only will it sound better, but you can take the extra cash and buy a 1962 Fender Precision Bass (with original case).Trading in a Markbass for a Rumble always makes sense.
Kenny’s getting up in the world! Full Rumble 500 stack tonight with the Roscoe bass!
Here's mine. 500c/210 cab. I just finished reading this whole thread (started this summer), and from this club and TB I built up this rig, amp - bass x2 - even the strings (ghs pressurewounds) and wireless (g30) I love the sound of this amp, especially with the 210 cab. Can I get a number please? @Gravedigger Dav
I’m yet to gig with the extension cab but loving the fullness it provides when paired with the combo at home.
Those are beautiful rigs! My 500H + 210 already feels like the fist of God punching your whole body, I can only imagine what the full stack can do.
(I'm sure other people go for some high end out of these too but damn am I loving filling out the sound between guitar and drums. At our last practice I turned down a bit too much going from 1 song to another and the drummer said after: "What happened? It's like all the power got sucked out of our music." And I put the Rumble up against 2 guitars using Fender Devilles and I could barely hear them. So that felt good too.

I just spent 20 minutes trying to fix my tone before realizing my tweeter was on 
Also has anyone played the pf50t’s front Ampeg? Looking to get one of those and and 2 of the 112 SVT Anniversary cabs. This would be my ultimate gigging set up for country and rock. I would then sell my Stage 800 and by a Club 400 for jazz gigs and smaller venues. Hopefully they do make a club 400 ha ha
Edit: maybe I’ll get a 115 SVT and then a 112 to stick on top of it.

Just keep the Stage, you'd lose money selling it and buying the same thing but less powerful.
I've never played a PF50T or any 12" Ampeg cab. I will say this though, IMO tubes no longer matter. My Rumble sounds quite tubey (at least compared to the SVTs and VB3s I've played) and I've heard zero difference from guitarists using a SS vs when they use a tube amp so long as they're given time to dial in their sound. A good amp is a good amp, and honestly even some bad ones can sound pretty good. I was using a little Marshall 15w SS practice amp when I was playing guitar a week ago at a family Christmas gathering and I thought it sounded great.
So yeah tubes, transisters, A/B, D it don't matter if you ask me. You're going to end up basically sounding like yourself no matter what you play.
Do you run 2 rigs or is all that fed from the combo? Looks like an epic wall of loudness!
rumble 500 runs the top 2 cabs and a peavey minimax 500 runs the bottom 2, i feed em with a ltd 6 string .. it's plenty loud that's for sure, but i really don't need all that wattage... i just like it
