Hi All, I've tried doing some research but I'm not finding an exact answer to my question. Is it possible to connect a 500 combo to two 210 cabs? So it's essentially a 6 foot tall triple stack? Thanks for any help.

Welcome to TalkBass and the Rumble Club! The extension speaker output on the rumble 500 is 8 ohms minimum. The Rumble 210 Cabinet is 8 ohms. Two Rumble 210 cabinets would be 4 ohms which is less than the 8 ohms minimum for the Rumble 500. That would be a good way to blow the head of the 500!

Greg is quite right, HB. There is no easy way to do what you want without some seriouly warranty voiding modifications to some of the equipment, like rewiring the cabs to lesser impedance or replacing some, or all, the speakers.

However, you can very easily connect two stock 210 cabs to the Rumble Stage 800 bass modeling combo (same dimensions as the R500c), since it can handle a 4 ohm total extension cab load by switching the Impedance Switch:

​

In fact, I've been encouraging our Rumble Stage owners to post a pic of such a triple decker stack! But so far, no takers. Maybe you could be the one! Just be forewarned that the bass modeling Stage (and the smaller Studio 40) are totally different beasts from all the other Rumbles!!!

Not a good idea. It would put you below the minimum ohms rating for the amp. It could damage the amp.

I've gigged my 500C by itself for 5 years now, but this 2x10 popped up on the ebay and I decided to take the plunge. Never needed it, but I'm glad to now have it!

Similar!

I had managed with the 500c but super glad I grabbed the 210. Just having the stack helps hear myself, as well as the sonic benefits of 4 x10.

Not yet gigged with it, but new band going well, so hopefully not too long.

Happy Rumbling

You could get a 2nd 500C and run it from the fx send of the 1st to the fx return of the 2nd. Then plug the 210 extension into either. You may need an extension ladder to work the controls though!

And you'd have a backup amp!

im afraid by doing this id open the door to having a stack on each side and going full stereo... the dream

And the bad part would be?

Believe me. I've thought of this! I have an 80s Ibanez 303B? multieffects pedal with auto filter, compression, and stereo chorus, flange that would sound great with a setup like that.

And the bad part would be?

He'd then want an extra cab for each stack.

In due course he'd go full quad mode, with a stack on every one of the four corners of the living room. Then he'd want an extra cab for each stack...

These days, we see a lot more cargo bikes in the city. Electric ones, too. Could be a viable option for amp transport, but there's always the weather to factor in when you're hauling electrical equipment.

They're kind of expensive, as well - particularily the electric ones. You could take a lot of cabs for the price of one of these babies:

Regular electric bikes cost more than 3 500 € here (33 440 NOK at today's rate). Don't know about electric cargos. What does an electric cargo bike go for in Oslo?

The cheapest ones start at around the 3 250 € mark, the expensive ones can be more than twice that. So it's not cheap by any means, but more or less in line with prices elsewhere in Europe.

I am so drunk I think we're taking about bikes instead of rumbles. I need to Rumble. Rumble.

Everyone has their own taste, but for me, my Rumble 40 is the best guitar amp I've ever had. I use it with two Telecasters and a semi-hollowbody PRS. Plus my basses.

I've had a 100 or awhile now, one of our frequent flyers leaves his 40 with me, and I have to say space and sound wise it's a perfect blend. I often take that (with his knowledge) as long as I'm not competing with a full band. For how close in size the 100 looks to the 40, it's soo much easier to transport. Such a great balanced choice especially for someone looking for a first time practice amp it just can't be beat. It's plenty loud especially considering the size. I'd recommend it to most newcomers....

And if you need a bit more flexibility tone-wise, and have bit more cash to spend, the Studio 40 is an outstanding choice. All the benefits of a standard Rumble 40 with the addition of far more models and built-in effects than most people will ever need.

And today I was asked to turn down my Studio 40, playing with an EG, AG, and drums. I was already at 1:00 and had to drop down to about 11:30 to get a balance. And that was without my stand so the amp was sitting on a concrete floor.
