I think I'd run it in the effects loop if it was my only pedal/effect. Do you DI to FOH through the amp or run on pure horsepower?

I love the 75!
I found it when I was researching the 30.
@GonePlaid is being generous with “young.”
The 75 weighs 55 pounds. I got confused and had it stuck in my head that the 30 weighed 55 pounds which took it off the table for me.
The 30 is really right around 30 pounds.
30 pounds, 30 watts into a 10” with a tilt back option and Rumble tone puts that amp into a sweet spot for me. We’re working on making it an early birthday present.
My 115s only weigh 39 pounds so it hard to justify toting anything heavier. Plus, they scare my guitar players...on that note, I may actually look into a lower wattage head. This journey has led me back to the Rumble 200 head to tame down the 115s. I’ll of course keep the 350 head for drummer situations.
As for brainstorming the stand idea, I really like the mud stand, but before I spend any money, I think I’ll try GP’s old suggestion and just stack it on top of the other cab and only use the top one. That’ll get it closer to my head and would also take care of the decoupling, wouldn’t it?
Ok. Sounds good. I have never gigged as a bass player yet. Played guitar for over 30 years in various bands. Still looking to hook up with a band. Kind of frustrating right now! Thanks for your direction.
Welcome Rumbler #1088! Sorry it took so long. I didn't see your post previously. Stack them puppies up and Rumble On!
Welcome Rumbler #1089! In spite of what some old wives tales about mixing cabs, the 2x10 and 1x15 really enhance one another. I have always been a 15 kind of guy, but the mixing here is a good thing. Rumble On!
I am of the opinion that scaring the guitarist with your bass amp is a good thing. Unless, of course, said guitarist then ‘goes to 11’.........
Ah... but Rumble amps go higher yet! No markers, so when the guitar player decides to go to 11, bump your rumble to about 3 or 4 (o’clock)!!! I have the 500 head, the R410 and the R115 cab. Can’t wait until a guitar player thinks he owns the stage... hah!
His high frequencies may carry farther-and annoy more people;yers will shake the room!

And hopefully several booties!
All right. I'm getting more and more interested in the Mud Stand.
What does everyone think of them as far as pros and cons?
Does anyone have pics of the big one made for bass?
Maybe even with an R115 cab and a head on it?

He who buys the sound reinforcement system be he who decides. Rumble 2800 is within my grasp...
I made a similar joke the other day. I explained the difference between the Studio 40 and Stage 800 to my better half and said, "Do I by the one that I can afford that won't be too loud or do I max out the credit card and make everyone within a mile hate us?" She didn't find it very amusing...
Not a good pitch to her for the Stage 800, IMO.
That's why I chased mine off.
I'm choosing the band baby.
Yeah... Those were just words.

If said guitarist goes to 11 I would take my Ric 4003 and use stereo output with 1 amp/cab behind me for the bass pup and 1 amp/cab right over his side for the treble pup just to make sure he knows I can really scare him.
Probably just tell him to turn my guitar amp down or stop being a cheapskate and buy his own.
I’m really liking the v1 rumble 100 I’ve played a few times recently. I prefer it over a nice hartke 100 combo we use as well, it has a nicer beefier sound, that really fills out. Only thing I prefer on the hartke that the rumble is missing is a compressor/limiter knob.
It sounds more like the hartke has a 1/12 and the rumble has 1/15. The rumble speaker looks slightly bigger, I feel this is the biggest difference in tone.
Very interested in trying a V3 1/15 or even 2/10 rumble, because so far the only v3 I’ve tried is my 1/12 100 combo. Which is great! It’s perfect size and weight for band practice and travelling to a mates place. It’s a little big for the bedroom, if I had the choice, I would get a seperate studio 40 for the bedroom, but there’s no point now I already have the 100.
It’s just looking for a nice punchy lightweight combo later on for medium/ large gigs. Weddings, barbecues, general parties stuff like that. I’m thinking rumble, cos it ticks all those boxes and also costs one of the cheapest at the same time, so it’s a no brainer. Just curious in trying any other alternatives, cos u never know. Thing is everything else that is decent costs double nearly triple the rumble price tag. I love that crisp deep Aguilar sound, and I think the rumble replicated that the closest from other amps I’ve heard.

Careful. You buy a Studio 40 for inside the bedroom you're gonna be jones'n for a Stage 800 outside the bedroom lol.
