I didn't get any Rumble gear. I got a pair of pants and 3 shirts...all the wrong size.
Too bad, because Rumbles always fit.

Take a look at the Mud Stand for Bass. I've got an Auralex GRAMMA 2 for my 200 combo, but one of these is next on my list.
Mud Stand for Bass Amps
First stupid questions of the year. Can i run a keyboard through my Rv3Rumble 100. I'm going to learn keyboards as a second instrument . I'm looking at the Yamaha P-121. Anyone have any experience with this model? If I posted this in the wrong thread please recommend where I should put it.
Thanks

As Gravy Davy says, you can certainly run a keyboard thru a Rumble amp. Lots of V3 100 combo users here, but it should be fine with any Rumble. I know my Rumble 500 combo sounds great with my acoustic, acoustic-electric, and electric guitars, which s as close as I get to your setup.
Now, it will not give the same voicing as an FRFR (Full Range, Flat Response) amp, which some think is required for keyboards. But, for a learning experience it should be terrific.
You may need a second Rumble 100 to amplify the full stereo sound.
Just make sure the keyboard you are looking at has an output jack. I bought my wife a Casio awhile back and never thought to look. Of course I thought, all keyboards would have a speaker out jack - right? WRONG!

No problem. To quote the illustrious @Linnin, mo rumble is mo betta!
If anyone should know, it's you, Gravy. I think you have mo' Rumbles than anybody I ever heard of!
This is the smaller Mud Stand with my R40
and with my 200c 
vertical 
side.* It fits either way and is less $.EDIT*I shoulda said 'horizontal' but I couldn't spell it.

You can go outta the headphone jack. Zero the volume on both first then come up slowly. Prolly need an adapter.
Hey, @GonePlaid, on another subject, how was the NYE big band gig?
The band sounded great. The venue hired a sound and light outfit which helped. However, we were too "big band-y" for the younger folks and the BL chose too many 'rock-ish' numbers for the older folks. Except for the Brian Setzer Orchestra, big bands aren't set up to do 'rock'. The arrangements still had that "big band" feel. We were outside on a dock on the Indian River in Vero Beach. The temperature was about 72(nice), the humidity was 90+%(not nice).
Many of the guests stayed inside. Oh, well, take the money and run. [Hey! I could write a song] IDK if there's video.

Well, as the saying goes, you can't please everyone. But, for those who appreciate music, a big band would be nice to hear/see...here's hoping there is a video

Going one step further, back in the 60's, one would have to lug a Grundig or other reel to reel tape recorder, with stereo mics, to a gig and hope for a power outlet and clear, leveled sound. Then, hope that someone didn't record over what was done (don't ask me how I know).
Today, with smart phones, it is possible to record every moment. It may not be professional grade, but, you can do a lot with it and, most importantly, it is better than nothing!
I did not know that! I recall trying it right after we got the keyboard, but I could not get it to work. A quick seach online suggests the external speakers need to be powered. And as you suggest, the volume needs to be down to start with. I'll give this a try tomorrow! Also saw where this "should" work with an amp as well...
I have an ancient POS electric piano that I've hooked up to my 200c. The amp has no problem handling the piano, including the "bass" section(switchable). Powered speakers/amp basically the same thing. Be sure 'gain' and 'volume' are both down.
