There it is! That must be where I got this idea, since I don't have a 210 cab for my R500c. Jake, you're quite consistent from just over a year ago. But I believe there were others that liked this, too. Uh, besides just miley, here.
But, different strokes for different folks is what makes the world wide web go 'round! A wise songwriter once said, "Ya know, ya can't please ever'body, so ya got to please yourself."

You just know there was an engineer somewhere laughing "they think these casters will work?" Meanwhile they save $5 on each amp by using small and insufficient ones.
It won't be the engineer, it will finish in the bean-counter's office and them going, "we've got these casters that cost 50 cents instead of the 5 dollar ones that engineering want..." lol.
Can't tell you how many times I've had that happen to me on projects. But engineering gets thrown under the bus for the shortcoming!
Augh!!! Here we go again! As if the engineer's design is what actually gets produced! In something like this the engineer has to make an impassioned plea to upper management, if not executives, to get his amp & speaker design approved. Everything else is packaging and potshotted by accountants and ad men!!(Nothing personal, WI.
Halfway kidding.
)
Amen, Phil!! You must be a fellow engineer! I suffered such slings and arrows early in my career.But it didn't me long to learn to fight fire with fire and come back with, "It was your manager that vetoed the ['costly easy-to-use valves' or whatever the complainer wanted], and said that his people were experts with the ['standard, cheaper valves' or whatever the complainer got]!" All the managers wanted the brand new Cadillac projects, but at the used Yugo price! We did our best to build 'em a serviceable Ford, Chevy or Dodge. Then they either used 'em to good effect or refitted them to a new Cadillac or a used Yugo!
Sorry! Retired 9 years and still couldn't keep my [virtual] mouth shut on some trigger issues.

Well, seems I misquoted and incorrectly blamed engineering for bad casters in these behemoth amps. No offense intended all.
I'm an engineer too but not in manufacturing so I guess I threw shade at myself a little too.
Onward and upward gents, I stand corrected.
Three engineers, one from Lockheed Martin, one from Hewlett Packard, and one from Apple, walk into the men's room to relieve themselves. The Lockheed engineer finishes at the urinal, washes his hands, grabs a handful of towels, and thoroughly dries his hands using every bit of every towel, and exclaims "at Lockheed we're extremely thorough in all we do." The HP engineer finishes, washes his hands, grabs one towel, carefully uses every bit of it to dry his hands and exclaims "At HP, we're thorough and efficient at all we do." The Apple engineer finishes and leaves the men's room and exclaims "At Apple, we don't pee on our hands!".
They groan out after a while, but I laughed quite loudly at many of them

The comments actually improve on, or at least add to, some of the jokes!

Well, it works just as well now as it did a year ago.
Thanks. Was a fun show.
Well done!
ps: Love Your EQ settings!
Everything flat. Simple the way I like it!
That’s usually how I set my sweet Rumble. I have been using my 2/10 cab with another low cost head and it sounds great!
Here’s one!

Shipping would prolly be a problem.

Hmmm, ... this article seems to relegate the Rumble 40 to strictly practice or beginners. But, that's not my feelings abput my Rumble Studio 40, and I'm sure GonePlaid and others would also disagree.

The part of the review that truly reflected what Rumble 40 owners have stated in our club was:
"It is compact and lightweight, which makes it portable. This makes it ideal for the small venue or jazz bar for stage work but nothing much larger."
I was concerned that they were nothing but a biased review outlet, so I further researched their past reviews and came up with this one which shows that the Rumble 500 is number one:

I still think most of us would tend to disagree with a lot of what they said about the Rumble 40. According to people here in our club who's opinions I tend to trust, the 40 is an outstanding amp.
Right, the reviewer's statement that the R40 is best limited to "beginners and improvers," is obviously not accurate. But I agree with his conclusion that "at the price point, it offers a great buy."
Uhhh this review makes little to no sense to me. I agree the Rumble 500c should have the top spot, but the rest of it has me really confused. Like the 5th spot going to Ampeg's BA 115, yet their RB series has been out for a while now LOL!
My concern was only that they were anti-Fender, which they must not be if they put the 500 first. In my opinion the top 5 bass amps for 2022 would not include Ampeg at all, and all five should probably be Fenders. At the very least, the 100 and 200 should be in the top 3 alongside the 500.
