Bonne idée, G ! Merci.That's a wonderful idea, Maart! There's @Jeremy Jones here who has a Studio/Regular 40 stack that he uses for indoor and outdoor gigs!!! The only diffugilty I envision is access to the controls of the bottom amp. If the Regular 40 is on bottom maybe it can be "set and forget"? Or, maybe, just one or two tweaks on its Master? OR, if the Studio is on the bottom, maybe the Tone App and your 7-button footswitch is sufficient to control it!!

yes my eyes glazed over half way through it....AUGHHH! Too many wires, cables, and other [stuff] for me.![]()
R100 -> DI -> mixer -> PA -> mic -> mixer -> R40

I was posting this information in a different thread and I thought it might help to see it here also. I realize it is also mentioned in the Rumble Wiki stuff, but here it is again in all its simplicity:

Or, did you mean, R100 -> DI -> mixer -> PA <- mixer <- mic <- R40
Or maybe perhaps, R100 -> DI -> mixer -> PA <- mixer <- DI <- R40
Or possibly even, R100 -> DI -> mixer -> R40 -> DI -> mixer -> PA
Or ... or ... or ... R100 -> DI ->mixer-> R40 -> DI -> mixer -> PA

Simple, true, but very helpful. Thank you.I was posting this information in a different thread and I thought it might help to see it here also. I realize it is also mentioned in the Rumble Wiki stuff, but here it is again in all its simplicity:

If the Ampeg has an effects loop, try plugging the FX Send from the Rumble into the FX Return of the Ampeg. Then see if you can blow any windows out of your house!I heard there's a Fender Rumble club.Here's my new Fender Rumble 500. All the amp I'll ever need. I already had the ampeg, but I don't think I need its power. But it's nice to have if I ever end up on a big stage outdoors.

Well, long story short, I'm 44, started bass at age 12 or so. Played in several bands, studied Jazz around 20 years old. Then took a long break from playing (long story) until last year when I bought a new Ibanez GWB205 and now I'm back to studying bass again. Got setup for recording on my PC and last monday my new Fender Rumble arrived, so my equipment is ready for any musical situation that might arise. My old bass had bad memories attached to it and the Ibanez was just the best upgrade I could get. And my amp is around 30 years old so I couldn't trust it anymore, plus the Rumble is much lighter for the same amount of power. First time I have a cab with tweeter and I don't know how I could have done without one for all those years.
I've played almost anything from pop, rock and metal to jazz, but my main interest at the moment is jazz fusion.
Welcome back to playing bass, and with a RUMBLE, no less. My particular taste is fulfilled better if I turn off the vintage button while using my Ibanez basses, BUT when I use my old Fender Precision the vintage button has to be pressed down!
