I just wanted to say thank you to all of the rumble club members. You have all been kind and welcoming as well as very informative, so thank you for all the info and funny stories
My rumble 100 will be up for sale! Im sure someone will find it to be very useful.
All over the world, if you ask me.
The 210 cabinet is heavier than the 500 combo, but I just realize that I weighed it with the cover still on. Might account for the extra weight.
Well. I'm considering getting the 500c and returning my 100c. This goes against what my reason is to get the 100 in the 1st place. I am trying to get as light as possible with the necessary headroom for most indoor gigs.
Right now I have a Rumble 500 head and a Rumble115 cabinet and the Rumble 100. I have a TC Electronic RS210, a Rumble 350 head and a LMII 500 watt head. I really don't need all this gear. I only use it to get a different flavor at home. Outside in the gigging world, I usually just grab the R500/115 cab and thats about all I've needed. I bought the R100 thinking it could suffice for the usual small bar gigs that we used to get. Covid. This year we have a couple of outdoor shows and I can't/won't use the 100 for them. The weight of the 115 and the cables and the head under the cover of the 115 cabinet is a little bit more than I prefer. So I'm on a mission. I've considered the Rumble 200c but I'm not sure if this is the way to go. I'm on a mission.....
Man I love my 200c with 15” I also super love my 210 ext cab with it! When I added the 210 it turned into a fat beefy Super Rig.
I got my 500c for gigs, but worried that it wouldn’t be enough, so I got the 210 cab as well. I needen’t have worried - the 500c is enough for all but the biggest of gigs. It’s only a couple of pounds heavier than the 200c, and I can’t think of a better all-in-one solution to cover almost any gigging situation.
Anxious to get my Stage 800 out for a gig after hearing everyone's appreciation for the 500's and other Rumbles. We're still trying to find our lead vocalist. Have 3 people that seem interested but none have committed to an audition date yet. Hopefully one of them pans out.
Well, Kat, your Rumble number will remain yours and you're always welcome to drop in here again sometime.

I just wanted to cement my status as a Fender Rumble Club member. That is all.
Wow! Beautiful! Awesome looking!
Thanks for the heads up @Droopy_TX ! I got my stage 800 in February and have not gigged with it as of yet. I'll have to check the feet and maybe replace the screws if mine are similarly as short as you described. How well do you like the matching 2x10 cab? That's the next thing on the list, but I've been told by my sales engineer at Sweetwater that the they are not expecting the 2x10 cab with the black grill to be in stock until August or later. I'm making due with my Carvin 1x15 ext. cab for now.
Hey all,
I want to share a recent experience, and perhaps provide a warning so that hopefully others don’t run into this issue.
I have the Rumble Stage 800 and the matched 210 extension cab. We played a Sunday PM gig on Mother’s Day. Yeah, Mother’s Day. (It was surprising well-attended.). But, playing on Mother’s Day wasn’t the problem.
When I got home and unloaded my gear, one of the little rubber feet (and the screw attaching it) on the Stage 800 was missing. I contacted Fender to see if they carried a replacement. They don’t carry parts for the Stage 800 since its manufactured overseas. I was disappointed by this, but it is what it is.
I ordered these replacement feet from Amazon. The measurements are the same as the feet on Stage; but the feet on the Stage are slightly tapered toward the bottom. The part is virtually identical to the feet on the 210 cab, which are not tapered. So, when I got the 8-pack of replacement feet, and noticed they were slightly different than the feet of the Stage, I decided to replace all of them on the Stage so they’d match.
Upon removing one of the original screws, I could see the problem that caused the missing foot. The screws that the factory used are barely long enough and they are more like a sheet metal screw than a wood screw. Honestly, they’re not really either; rather, some kind of hybrid that is ill suited to really hold onto the cab material. I am surprised I haven’t lost feet sooner. A brusque scuffing of the feet seems all that would be necessary to pull the screw out.
So, I replaced all of the foot screws with 1-1/4” #10 zinc-coated interior wood screws. The feet are now seated tightly, and the hold feels nice and strong like a the feet on a ~40 lb. bass amp ought. I would recommend replacing the foot pad screws to all, or keep an eye out for little rubber pucks laying around on the ground.
Hope this helps.

I've had mine for about 10 years now I think. No intention of getting rid of it.
I think the lights were on an earlier model. Either that or I got gyped out of some flashing red lights.
Yes, V1.I think the lights were on an earlier model. Either that or I got gyped out of some flashing red lights.
It’s a beautiful thing.
Haha that worked.
He said fat and beefy...
I think the 210 extension cab is the perfect complement. Not only does it give you the full power of the amp, it really enhances the sound providing both bolder mids and a stronger bottom end. The tonal difference is definitely more than simply two more 10” drivers. I like the fact that it gives me all the power and punch I need to cover any sized venue (even outdoors) up to the point where you’d need professional sound reinforcement, without pushing the amp too hard.
I know there are proponents and detractors regarding the mixing driver sizes; but, having played through a 1x15” Rumble 200, and really liking its deep bottom end, I have to think using a 1x15” cab with the R800 Stage combo has to work pretty well. So, I expect your Carvin 1x15 sounding pretty good, huh?
