True. My old Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle would do 180MPH if I dimed it.

I got the Rumble 500 head and the Rumble 1x15 cab. I used it for home practice and one audition. Once I got in a band I was a little concerned that I would push the R115 too hard so I got the Rumble 210 that I now use alone with the R500HD or with the R115 as an extension cab. Since we play a bunch of Blues Rock (Savoy Brown, Robin Trower, Ten Years After) along with regular Blues, the 210 has a little more punch to it than the 115, at least to my ears. So basically I have a Rumble 500 combo, but in two separate pieces....
I am not sure what I would do with the R800HD and a single cab...I would be concerned about blowing it up.
Excellent, EDdie! @ED3, you are now member #1413 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome. Put that number in your TalkBass Signature for safe keeping. Then make yourself at home here and on your Rumble Club Wiki page, the repository of all Rumbling wisdom and knowledge.
Please tell us a bit about yourself, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular. Whatever your situation you're bound to fit right in here since we have all kinds. But we all love to ... ...

If that works for you, rock it!
My arsenal:
Black Star Bass Amp - small jams with acoustic basses
Rumble 40 - Home practice amp, but also goes to church on Sunday morning for some P&W
Rumble 100 - Smaller gigs and Tuesday night "Drink, Smoke, and Jam" session
Rumble 500 - Hooked in to computer for solo practice for learning new material
Bassman 500 Hybrid - Great Amp, seldom used. I had it until I found the next one
Bassman 100T - Any time I can justify it.
For non combo speakers:
Rumble 2x10
Bassman neo 1X15 - 2 of these pushed by the 100 T Any time I can justify it.
I've been playing on and off for around 17 years and with the pandemic, I've taken a much more serious approach to playing. my equipment is as follows:
2013 Fender AVRI Jazz Bass
1975 Fender Precision Bass
Fender Rumble 500 + Rumble 115 extension cab
Ampeg SCRDI
MXR Bass Envelope Filter
I'm looking to improve my playing to be able to play locally around my area.

If anyone is looking to buy a Rumble 25 or 40, Musician's Friend has an "in the cart" special price today. I don't work for them, so not advertising, just passing along a tip. Happy Thanksgiving to the world of bass!

Uhh... Just wondering if that's code for something..?

Them "bowels" are mixed up...
Well, Rumbler #70 (!), you will always remain a valued member of The Club, in perpetuity.
The V2 Rumble 350 you had continues to be a classic (when they can be found) from a transitional time in bass amp history. Can you please tell us if you ever had any of the V3 Rumbles?.
Just dropping by to say hey. Pretty sure I membered up some time ago, but I never keep track. The only amp I've ever owned is a Rumble 15, I think a v.1. 99% of my playing is unplugged, and when I do have to amp, the 15 is great for what we do.
I bought this many years ago as an open box at MF...I had a gift cert from my oldest son, so I bought this, a mic and stand, a little Behringer mixer, and cables, totalling under $100 out of pocket. The gear all gets used maybe twice a year, but it's nice to have it when it's needed, and nobody has ever complained about the tone or power of the Rumble. As a bonus, it works really well amping an acoustic guitar when that's called for.

My brother gave my son a Rumble 15 v1 recently. I cleaned it up and it rocks.
Flip coin, or look in mirror and ask self if it will make self happy. Proceed from there.
