In the "poop sheet" for my R112 cab, it states that the tweeter may add unwanted distortion. For me, all distortion is unwanted.

Well, Monsieur wevl, (may I call you evl?), the Rumble 410 will certainly handle the 400 watts at 8 ohms the R800HD will give, and at the most SPL for a single cabinet. If you're a buff young wevl you can probably carry the 62.5 lb. 410 easily with one hand.
But, if you're of a more, <ahem>, mature frame of mind and body, you may heed chupacerveza and consider the 39 lb. 210 to be an acceptable compromise. That same 210 is, after all, Fender's choice for the 400 watts from the standalone Rumble Stage 800 combo! It'd be a great lightweight beginning rig. Then, later, you can add a 410, or two, or three, for bigger venues, if you wish, or up to 3 more 210s for lightweight modularity! With the R800HD the world is your oyster for cabs.

Has anyone tried chaining an S40 through a 500C?
Thinking there could be a lot of loud, fun tinkering to be had.

I have... and it is. Even more fun when you have another 210(or 112) to go with it. It will knock pictures off the walls!
I probably won’t get a 210 until school’s done and I have time to gig again. But it’s definitely part of the plan.
I’ve also been contemplating getting into home recording for a while now. Just seems like the S40 might scratch a lot of itches.

Yes, me, too! It's quite fun. I will be playing more with stereo thru my R500c and my Bassman 500 w/115 neo!

Yes, it scratches existing itches and creates more itches to scratch, too!

Being a genuine, certified olde phart, I can remember when all the bass amp builders were doing everything they could to come up with a powerful, clean sounding amp. Then everybody except me(I guess)wants fuzz/overdrive.
I like the clean, solid thump the best. But the band I play in does some more modern rock like Velvet Revolver and a couple other bands that gave an overdriven bass tone. I used to hate that stuff but in the context of the band, it fits the bill. Personally, I will probably just be using a Tech 21 Character Series Bass Deluxe that can achieve an old SVT tone.Being a genuine, certified olde phart, I can remember when all the bass amp builders were doing everything they could to come up with a powerful, clean sounding amp.

I got a cheap Behringer bass vdi which is a clone of some tech21 with satisfying results. picked it up for the DI capability at first, but the drive sound is not bad at all. at least it's worth trying as it costs like nothing compared to those "original" ones.
Thanks for the tip, dORSY
Is Behringer the "Lawsuit Ibanez" of guitar electronics??Kind of... effects are effects, and lots of ppl/manufacturers do same/similar pedals nowadays.
Behringer's trick is that they mass produce stuff (I would not buy an amp from them for example), and keep costs low. But their sound gear in the last few years are getting really good, specially bang for the buck.
I have the 2nd one of 2. The first ones weird-arse connector was NG. And I still don't completely trust that little POS.
I had one that died slowly, once channel at a time. I replaced it a couple of years ago and it works fine. A few months ago I got a smaller one to hook into my PC for recording. I understand, but as the OP said, bang for the buck.I have the 2nd one of 2. The first ones weird-arse connector was NG. And I still don't completely trust that little POS.
You're not alone, GP. I plug my basses directly in my Rumbles, no effects including the built-in OD. I bought the R500c to have lots of headroom.

I play the bass, guitar, and ride bicycles.
