I bring the thunder every rehearsal because I have to. The band I'm in plays LOUD. But this setup (along with my Tech 21 VT Bass Deluxe) handles it, no sweat
This is an old pic. I have the 115 sitting on top now.

In the market for a small practice amp and was looking at Rumble 25 and the R40. What are your thoughts?
The 25 is a good and reasonably priced practice amp. Given the choice, though, I’d spring for the 40. With the 40 you get into the Rumble series proper, with the same preamp as the rest of the range, a 10" driver and 15 extra watts, plus very light weight.In the market for a small practice amp and was looking at Rumble 25 and the R40.

The base adds to the tone.![]()
I’d opt for a used or open-box 100... or the 40. The 25 is plenty for acoustic practice though. The 100 is feather-light, giggable, and has a similar footprint, so I see more flexibility with it.The studio 40 would be the better option but I am trying to stay under $200.00 since I recently purchased (3 months ago) the Rumble 800 head, R 4x10 cab. Also Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass & Fender PJ Mustang within the last year. I'm in an all Fender addiction

1213 Thanx a lot!Wow! Jino! I'm ... I'm ... uh, ... just speechless! @Jinobass1, you are now member #1213 in the Fender Rumble Club. Uh, ... I mean, ... like, is that you in the photos? Are you an advertising model and a musician? That's quite a Fender family there, too. A P-bass, 3 J-basses a Bassman 500 w/410 Neo, a Rumble 800 HD and , do I spy with my little eye, a Rumble Stage 800 for a stool?!?
Jino, please tell us about all this. Nosy ..., I mean, uh, ... enquiring minds want to know. And, as always, please do . . . .
Rumble On!

I’ve owned the V3 100 combo, the v3 200 head and twice owned the Rumble 410 cabs.I currently have the Rumble 800 head and LOVE IT! ... ... I bought a Bassman neo 115 then upgraded to a new 610 and I never had a better rig. ... ... The Rumble 800 is NO JOKE. ... ...
Awesome! You can add me to the club. I'm a new TB member. I have a Rumble V3 500 combo.
Actually, I have a question for you all which is what drove me to TB in the first place. I've been gigging recently as a rhythm guitarist but am switching back to bass. It's been 20 years since I gigged as a bassist. I got the Rumble 500 combo on a whim, but now I've got a band interested in me and I'm worried it's not going to be enough. It's a 4-piece country/rock band. They have a PA, and the Rumble has the line out. They mostly play bars but the singer told me he wants to play more festivals. I realize that might not be enough info for anyone to offer a full informed opinion. Do you think I'll have enough to cover me? Alternative is to get a 500 head with 410 cab either in Rumble or Bassman (though since Im married, I really like the headphone jack on the Rumbles)... don't want to dish out cash if I don't have to. When I was playing guitar, I used a small Fender Mustang 112, which was fine mic'd. I'm just not sure if bass direct to PA works the same. Thoughts? and thank you!

Sorry but I had to brag!!! I used to have a Rumble 500 but now have a Rumble Stage 800. I missed the silver grill cloth. Found a guy who custom made a replacement grill, with silver and the chromed Fender logo. Love my Stage 800 even more now!!
