Fender Rumble Club

I have been in that spot so many times, I usually pull the trigger, need it or not!
Well, truth be told even the 500 combo was WAY more than I needed. But I figured I could snag the 500 head and be ahead of the game with a single 210 cab... But then there was that discontinued (rumored) 210 cab with the black grill... and you can't just get one - after all they're discontinued (or so the rumor goes)... Next thing I knew there were two black 210 cabs in the shopping cart... I should quit while I'm ahead....

I "liked" your post but really, I don't like planned obsolescence in order to generate new sales...JMHO.

Ahead - as in "A" "head", you know... just one... ahead...

If I got another it would be twohead instead of ahead. Well, it could be dualhead, or dahead for short... ;) maybe doshead or XXHead or x2head or... If I was in France (or Canada) it could be duhead... At any rate if I get another head the wife is gonna have mine!!!
 
Everything is sales driven. Where there is demand, there will be supply.
I got my 200 Combo just a short time ago. Are they going to discontinue that one too?
I doubt that. If that were going to happen, I think they would already have been. The Rumble 200 combos are strong sellers, whereas Rumble bass head buyers would opt to spend $100 more for the 500 over the 200. Will the new Rumble 800 head sap 500 head sales? I think yes, but to what degree remains to be seen. The Rumble 800 head with it's upgraded output features will most certainly cut deeply into competitor's market share just as the entire Rumble line already has and continues to do.
