Whoop!
There it is! Congratulations, fixxy. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. 
So, did you adjust the XLR Out levels of the presets you used, as we discussed? Please, if you would, give details of prep of your preferred settings in the Rumble LT25, Studio & Stage sub-thread? Pretty please?

Yes! Please do share any settings you've used to achieve your glorious tone!
G-diggity it seems you've linked to the Official Fender Bassman Club Pt II
Here is the Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800
OMG! I've never, ever done that one before! (Hey, Maw! Call "The Home" and tell 'em to get my bed ready!) Thanks for the catch, there, Slingy-dingy-do. I think I've fixed it, now. But, I thought it was right to start with. "C'est la vie", say the old folks, It goes to show you never can tell.

G-Dog, you are so right on this one. I was able to give this a try and, my goodness, what a difference! My R100 will keep up with the 3 piece I've been playing with easily now. And the tones coming out of that 100 are great! Thanks again for the tip on that. As I said, in a, different thread, I was not impressed going from the Studio40 FX send to FX return on the 100. This is a whole different story.
Yes I did, i stood next to the board and adjusted the levels on my pre sets, will get my settings up a little later..
Great looking bass. What goodies do you have in the rack?
Just bought a Fender V3 Rumble 800. Im buying a cab next,ASAP! Besides physical appearance is their any differences in the different versions/generations of the Rumble cabs sonically ?
Welcome back, Rumble Club member #652.
Yes, descy, there are functional differences in the V2 and V3 generations of Rumble bass cabinets, and some differences within generations. There were no V1 cabs. You might start your education with the first Rumble Talk in that section of the Rumble Club Wiki page linked in my signature, called Fender Rumble History.
If you've got the very powerful Rumble 800 HD head, then you don't want to mess around with the small stuff. You need something that can readily handle at least 400W continuous at 8 ohms or 800W continuous at 4 ohms. In the V3 line that means at least the 210 cab, though rated "just" 350W continuous (on paper) it's the exact same speakers built-in to the Rumble Stage 800 combo, which also runs 400W continuous at 8 ohms (by itself) and 800W continuous with one 8 ohm extension cab. Next up is the 410 at 8 ohms and rated 500W continuous for serious SPL. The V2 410 is also rated 500W continuous, but it is 4 ohms and makes your 800 HD run up to 800W continuous(!), so that's no good. In fact, I can't think of any V2 cabs that would be suitably rated for your Rumble head, since the 112 and 208 Neo(!) cabs were rated only 250W continuous.
Of course, for low volume practice, and such, almost any cab could get a sound. But you'd have to keep the volume correspondingly low to keep from overpowering it/them. Just one exciting cranked song could release the magic smoke enclosed in the wrong cab.
So, bottom line is one, two, three or four Rumble 210s for lightweight portability (the silver grille and the black grille both have same speakers) OR one to four Rumble V3 410s for maximum SPL.

Thanks, Bluzy, but I gotta give due credit to @vancamp for really running down this significant difference in the Stage and Studio connecting to other Rumbles differently because their FX Sends are fixed and not affected by their Master Volume controls. See that link in the Connecting Combos Together section of the Rumble Club Wiki page linked in my signature. That's when the light came on for me. Thanks, again, campy!

Anyone have any experience with the Rumble 115 cab vs the rumble 210 cab? This will be used with my existing 115 cab and my R500 head for some additional context... 
I'm leaning towards the 210 myself, but I have a soft spot for 15's.

@rutrho , I have no specific Rumble experience to offer, but I usually run an Avatar B210 plus an Avatar B115 cabinet for higher-volume gigs, powered by either a GK 400RB or a SansAmp RBI/QSC RMX 850. I’ve found the combination of a 2x10 plus a 1x15 gives me the low end I look for plus the fast response I prefer.Anyone have any experience with the Rumble 115 cab vs the rumble 210 cab?

Your needs may be different, of course, but if you were concerned about low end being reduced, I wouldn’t be worried. Especially when they are both designed to work together, as the Rumble line seems to be.
club requirement met
*and to update my original post: I have found some pretty good settings/sounds with the combo. Thanks for the tips. Moving the amp, twisting knobs and adding an EQ pedal made some pretty big changes to the amp. I like it.

Great, basstalk! Glad to hear you're getting what you're looking for. Yes, Rumbles take pedals very well, too.
Namey, that's a nice photo. Your Club requirement is, indeed, now fully met. So, relax and join, or start, the discussions of your choice, as you so chose.

Well, rho, I gotta say you've hit on the Rumble equivalent of the chicken & egg quexxion. But, I like chicken, grilled, fried or gumbo'd, with my eggs, preferably deviled! So, yeah, add a 210 to your 115 and R500 head for the best o' both.
Or not! You can't go far wrong, either way.

How funny, I just saw that same pic on Nate Smith’s Facebook post, and came here to see if anyone had commented on it! is that the v3 R100 Joe Dart is playing through?
I believe it’s a 200 or 500 actually. I’m looking at my rumble 100 combo now, and looking at the photo, and can see the fender logo on the combo in the photo is much smaller, meaning the combo itself is larger.
Maybe it just looks like a rumble 100 cos it’s in a big open space.
